Jack's super run
Peter and Jack combined to run a thrilling third, a neck from the winner in a four horse finish (second from bottom in official photo finish, second from top in second pic, as we saw the finish), after taking a bit of a knock on the home turn. So Jack goes through to the final on Show Day (Friday 16th). Peter said before the race that whatever he did tonight he would be better next time out so fingers are crossed for a decent draw. (Laura was able to meet up again with Wendy Williams of Gerolstein in the stables but Roman Eagle found it difficult tonight.)

Well done, the other Jack! It really was super run..
And look at the time!
I'm afraid our poor old Roman simply couldn't keep up wth you in the home straight.
I suspect Jack will get himself a bouquet before 2007 is out
