Who said long races are boring? Love 'em to death. The Kilmore committee would be feeling pretty chuffed with themselves after the two big 2 mile races produced two of the best, toughest and grittiest, down to the wire finishes we have seen in a while. I Didnt Do It needed every bit of the 3150m to nail Mr Zion right on the peg in the trot in a two horse war and then the comeback horse and defending champion Bitobliss sat outside of Carribean Blaster and stared him down all the way down the straight before he started to edge away just before the line. Just fantastic racing, looked like another big crowd with great weather to boot.

Nothing boring about these races. As a spectacle we have lost a lot, with these mile races dominating the scene. Damn the TAB.
