|
|
|
| It
was very close but the Judge announced that AF Izdihar on the
far side had prevailed by a nose from Sami Lotois and it seems
a dead heat would have been a good result as both ran well |
Ted
Durcan looks towards the big screen to see if he won or not
but it was hard to tell but the decision came soon enough to
give the race to the Gillian Duffield trained AF Izdihar his
3rd win in a row |
