gnu's in the lead with Acme running a descent second while Rapparee is a distant third. Ague Amos was scrubbed earlier as coming up lame. Chongo, or whatever the fuck he calls him/herself today, never showed, to the delight of the track goers so it's anybody's race really. There was talk of a late entry by one of the favourites, BWL, but it seems BWL's jockey may actually have a life. As we come into the final stretch, gnu pulls up short and simply canters over to the barley bar and his jockey orders a drink. gnu was heard to neigh (translated), "Run? In this heat? Fuck that shit. I'll have Gibson's Finest straight up with a Bud chaser."
