They did look very similar Allan and I thought the inside horse had won both times but I did think that Mactera Lad (I cannot believe my blackbooker was $10!) had a couple of inches more margin than Party Boy did.
At the end of the replays they briefly show (be ready to hit pause) the photo finish for the Mactera win and those inches were needed, it is a pity that they do not show the photo for Beach Shack's win
