Welcome to the Third and Final Race of TFW Opening Races.

They are getting ready as the rain begins to pour here...Oh Yeah In There is last to go into the barrier i think he is getting used to the weather

And away we go!!

What a start by Shifiga he has at least 2 horse lengths lead, is this a smart start? we will find out. Slutty Pants and Oh Yeah In There are the closest behind followed by a fight for 4th and 5th by Dog and A Tail of Intrigue. Further back is Wheel Oil Beef Hooked, The Italian Stallion and last but not least is Hoof Hearted.

Quarter of the way through the race now and Shifiga still has a massive lead, he is holding his own out there. Further back in second at the moment is Slutty Pants and Oh Yeah In There. Dog leads the middle pack with A Tail Of Intrigue, Wheel Oil Beef Hooked following him. A very close battle for last is shaping between Hoof Hearted and The Italian Stallion.

Half Way through now and Shifiga has faded lots giving the lead up to Oh Yeah In There who leads Shifiga just as a group of 5 fights for the lead. Oh Yeah in There, Shifiga, Hoof Hearted, Slutty Pants and Wheel Oil Beef Hooked. at the back not fighting for the lead is Dog, A Tail of Intrigue and The Italian Stallion.

three quarters of the way through and Oh Yeah In There has a massive lead, in front of Shifiga who is coming in second. A fight for third is being made between Slutty Pants, Dog and A Tail of Intrigue. Further back now in no chance so far is Wheel Oil Beef Hooked and Hoof Hearted and last is The Italian Stallion.

We are in the final stretch now and its close for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Oh Yeah In There is slowing down but is still faster than one horse on the inside Slutty Pants. Shifiga is pushing behind Oh Yeah In There but can't get past due to him and Slutty Pants...he has the pace but can't use it....final metres now and its going to stay that way on the inside rail but A Tail Of Intrigue is speeding up very far outside and....oh!
