Well done Old Mate! Congratulations on taking out the final 🥂 Showtime! so close and a beaut effort chaps. Each week someone has stepped up to keep us in the hunt and it's been a real team effort 🤗 You are all winners in my eyes and it's been a pleasure to be your el captiano! 🙂

Well, not sure what's happening now 🙂 I'll leave it for Peter to advise, but a close match all day and a good go by both teams.

Randwick R8 - 5.40pm - Schweppes All Aged Stks (Gr1) - $1.5m, 1400m, WFA First: 11 Magic Time $7.30 Quin: 11/7 Amenable $236.10 Sub: 9 Espiona Scr: 2 LS The Grahame Begg trained mare, Magic Time, was too strong in the very heavy track conditions and only the outsider of the field, the Lonhro gelding Amenable was up to the challenge, trying hard for his recently departed sire. Both BC and Craig found the winner which means they are still locked up in their head to head battle. No change.

😄 Geez guys, it's only one race and pretty much everyone selected the same horses 😀 We'll see how the extraps are going a few races in 😆 I'm picking they'll go by the wayside! 💃

Race 1 Extraps for Old Mate vs Showtime! Old Mate go ahead by 2 with Boss N Highheels, and by 1 with Brazen Proposal and Domain Ace Showtime go ahead by 2 with Magna Memory, and by 1 with Dream of the Moon
