Photo Finish

            In the boilover result of the night, Kyle Maskiell wins his second race in a row for trainer John Blacker when Blaze Forth beats Mystic Journey by half a length (0.4 was the actual margin). It was Mystic Journey's first race back after a lengthy spell and she was rusty. But Luke Currie gave her every chance of winning the race. 

Third place getter was Gee Gee Secondover. There is quite a breeding tradition in Tasmania where horses from particular stables are named "Gee Gee ...." As you can see from the light, this is a twilight race meeting and at this stage we were between the fading sunlight and the full impact of the floodlights. The term photo finish is used in racing for the final shot as the winner crosses the line. In this race the result was clear enough for them not to "call for the photo". But like the photo finish shot it was critical that I stopped the motion at this point. In this light that was difficult to do.
