Herc6 still going well but it's an experienced old hand coming out of the pack to challenge now, SamD closing fast, now just 3 lengths down.

GM is two further lengths back but going well...
A shake of the reins and Herc6 stretches another three ahead of SamD, with M.A.K. a further length back in 3rd, I think the race could be over unless...
Down the hill and Herc6 has only three left to jump. The dude abides is closing fast but is still 7 lengths back with horses between himself and the leader...

At last GM makes his move, but it's surely too late, one to jump and he's 4 lengths back with the rest seemingly beaten now.

Herc6 is still 2 points off the course record...

Due to the delay in racing I doubt I will be posting the final race outcome until about 7pm.
Unless another poster obliges.

...and he''s done it, three points from the final race means Herc6 wins and breaks the five year course record by one point !! Brilliant effort...final results to follow...

Thank you. It wasn't easy, I was driven hard by SamD, a big inspiration of mine. I think in the end the apprentice was just better than the old master over the course of the race.

I'd like to dedicate this win to all the people who believed in me, to the God I've never believed in and to R.Kelly for believing in seemingly impossible feats of human brilliance.

Finishing notes

Post by SamD »

Thanks for the contest, Spencer4. It helped nudge a now occasional punter to look at all 27 races and, by good fortune, back a few high-priced horses, notably Lac Fontana at 11/1 today. Along with Nicholls and Jacob, that win was worth 11 points and might have briefly worried the Fiso front-runners.

Many congratulations to:
- Herc6: trust you've now removed tongue from cheek to down a celebratory drink; that 7lb apprentice allowance is surely at risk, eh?
- GM, another worthy regular of various forum sports competitions. (Which reminds me, hope it's OK to mention that the 2014 Fiso golf prize marathon will be launching shortly.)

Finally, those looking for trends in the Cheltenham game might reconsider their Fiso IDs if these are unduly lengthy. It's surely no coincidence that entrants with monikers of five letters or fewer finished in the top three, besides Muddy, the day one leader, and Richt, last season's champion...
