Swayzee the champ would have slept well last night, great drive to beat him at his own game. Great race to watch.

wow, they were tough as totara lol 😉. what a great head to head battle.

saw an old kiwi trainer John Newberry 's horse led for a few strides out of the barrier. Diamond Eclipse driven by his son Matthew. It stopped to a walk a lap out though in that company. John started off in fine style on all those Brydon horses years ago out of Clevedon . his dad and uncle Bryan and Gordon were pretty wealthy and raced a few for fun. think Gordon actually Won the G1 Dominion Handicap with 'Cal Brydon' once ?, even though he wasn't driving much and might be his only Group 1 success.

John Newberry did well with that trotter in Oz too. they first raced in Victoria , then he was in QLD for a good while. I raced against him and 'Brydon Duke' a heap of times. Brydon Duke would of started out at Auckland, but won about 30-40 races in QLD, because was a big powerful unit. He would of enjoyed a 'Swayzee' challenge  lol. 😎 but would been really ' hurting'  at the end though lol.
