Wow . Nobody had Chancer McPatrick . Smokin Wicked ran a great race for Forego and Ferocious looked completely out of it until that late rally. Doc dodges more bullets and it will definitely come down to the last race but meanwhile here is the scoring update , along with the picks for the eleventh .
Doc D 9/40 $140
Bert Convy 4/39 $137.10.
Ozzy 10/39 $116.20
NDSC 6/39 $116.00 ( Golden Rocket)
Hooper 6/38 $105.60 (Beets)
Forego 9/38 $101.90 ( Collaboration)

Golden Rocket ran a great race for NDSC32 and Beets was also up there but mistifyingly it was Child of the Moon ($4.80) who came through at the end to add to Salestopper’s tally.
So now after 40 days it comes down to the last picks n the last race and here are the standings for those still in with a shout . Who will be dancing in 30 minutes time ?
Doc D 9/40 $140
Bert Convy 4/39 $137.10 (Dance on Air)
Ozzy 10/39 $116.20 ( Tour Jete)
Hooper 6/38 $105.60 (Dancing Jane )
Forego 9/38 $101.90 ( Lucky and Gorgeous)

What a finish. Dance on Air was coming wide with a great run but sadly for Bert Convy it’s Tour Jete ($7.00) who takes the finale for Ozzy and that means that congratulations are due to Doc D our 2024 Champion. Well played sir !
