00:00 Down to the judge in three laps. 25.70. The SS&A Club of Albury Murray Cup. Here we go.
00:07 They're set and off they go. The green light from the tab mobile away.
00:12 And initially Skinny Dip begins well. Pushing up also, blazing home.
00:17 Kendi's butterflying even deeper out. Glenn Liddy-Elvis is four deep around that first turn as Skinny Dip,
00:23 who has been backed at a bit of a price, gets the front and leads them towards the far side.
00:27 They've got two and three quarter circuits remaining. The longer trip here for the Murray Cup.
00:31 In second is Kendi's butterfly. And now Glenn Liddy-Elvis is pushing on the outside.
00:36 Another one going forward here is Missed the Truth is also charging up as Glenn Liddy-Elvis takes over.
00:41 Missed the Truth is going up into the breeze and then Skinny Dip, first up since August, is now leaders back.
00:47 Might be about to be three back the inside as Missed the Truth and Cam Hart takes over.
00:52 So a new leader. We've had plenty of leaders and we've got a galloper.
00:55 Skinny Dip has galloped and now Cheeky Devil's going to have to balk to get around it.
00:58 A few others as well, including He's Dusty, as they've been changing their order a fair bit here.
01:03 Into the straight they come. What I can tell you is that Tay Tay's back towards the end as they come down the straight.
01:08 And Curly James is back about third last. So we'll take stock, give you the order, because they've been chopping and changing.
01:13 And it's Missed the Truth down to the judge with two circuits to go.
01:16 Cam Hart had a look around and saw Freddie Singh now emerging out of the pack to go up into the breeze.
01:21 Glenn Liddy-Elvis still leaders back as they head out of the straight.
01:24 Now three back the inside in the contest there is Kendi's Butterfly being followed by Blazing Home.
01:29 One out, one back out. Cheeky Devil behind those then to Curly James who's going now.
01:34 It seems like half the field has made a run and now it's the favourites' turn.
01:37 Here goes Curly James. He's Dusty behind those with also Tay Tay.
01:41 And last of all towards the end there is Skinny Dip who's gone back.
01:45 So in the early stages there and the front runner is Missed the Truth.
01:49 They lead time in 1.13.1, first quarter in 31.8.
01:54 And the leader now is Missed the Truth, leads out by about four.
01:58 Going around them Curly James into second, Glenn Liddy-Elvis third and then Kendi's Butterfly fourth.
02:03 Into the straight they come, Freddie Singh is three back the outside and then came out Cheeky Devil
02:07 who's tucked away the inside as they come down the home running.
02:10 Further back behind those he's Dusty, Blazing Home further back in the field then Skinny Dip
02:14 and back towards the end on the outside is Tay Tay who's yet to play its hand with a circuit to go in the Murray Cup.
02:20 It's Missed the Truth, 29.8 was the second quarter.
02:24 Inside the half mile they go, final lap, Murray Cup and it's Cam Harton, Missed the Truth,
02:29 first one to the far side, leads out by about four. Curly James the favourite right on the scene.
02:34 Then Glenn Liddy-Elvis running third, further back Kendi's Butterfly fourth, Freddie Singh fifth.
02:39 Losing ground out Cheeky Devil, Blazing Home makes some progress and from the back of the field
02:43 Tay Tay is starting a burst but is about 30 off the lead as they run down to the 400 metres in the Murray Cup.
02:49 It is Missed the Truth who lead, Curly James gets closer, then Glenn Liddy-Elvis and further back in the field
02:54 then Freddie Singh who's over on the inside of Kendi's Butterfly.
02:57 The third quarter, 28.5, Curly James is about a metre off, Missed the Truth, they'll turn together.
03:03 Glenn Liddy-Elvis is running a mighty race on the inside but it's Missed the Truth,
03:07 first into the straight over Curly James, Glenn Liddy-Elvis is coming up on the inside,
03:12 the Riverina's cheering, Glenn Liddy-Elvis coming late, Missed the Truth, they go to the wire,
03:17 Glenn Liddy-Elvis has got there, Glenn Liddy-Elvis has won it for the Riverina.
03:21 Magnificent performance over Missed the Truth and close up Curly James.
03:26 Then Blazing Home and behind those then to Freddie Singh, followed by Tay Tay.
