No rush. Do you have a stats update though?

I'm not going to give any this time - but no horse has become 'world class' in any other area before this final.

And the final nail in Door to Door's chances has been hammered in. ;)

Although Drummy's a little way ahead, if some of these bets come in it could all change.

Ropey Ropes can only take bets up to £20 I'm afraid, you'll have to see my pal Twitchy Tim for bets of that size.

Well this is it - 24 horses started our journey in this IOLHK! season, now just six remain, four Major winners are here, but after the fall of My Lovely Horse in the first Dubai heat, the press are now clamouring over the matching of the mares - the French and dynamic Chardoneigh, and English powerhouse Jasjinsky. The bookies don't see it any other way - but could Loopy Luigi, the excellent little horse from Japan win? Or could Bananas On The Bridge who shocked many by winning in Wyong - win this final time?

We are about to find out - the horses are OFF!

Three horses launch off away from the line - Jajinsky setting a fast pace on the inside, narrowly followed by both the French Chardoneigh and Bananas On The Bridge, the others a bit slower of the line form a cluster in these initial stages...


Jajinsky and Chardoneigh starting to pull away - they both jump excellently the first, and all the horses are now over the first - Jajinsky and Chardoneigh going great guns into the first corner as they come over the second fence - Door To Door Salesman pulls inside slowing Phyllis up slightly...


All the horses over the second, but these two horses - the ones the bookies are fearing are really starting to tear up the field, going around the bend now - these horses leading by five lengths over the others - Bananas On The Bridge slowing slightly, Phyllis making up some pace on the outside...


Oh - here we go - we approach the water jump that has made and broken many horses in the past Jajinsky and Chardoneigh come up to it...


Jajinsky over first - but Chardoneigh jumps better and is right on her tail! The others gallop up now...


Oh no! Bananas In The Bridge has fallen into the water! Irish hopes end here after a season of bad fortune! The jockey throws his whip into the water in disgust as Phyllis flies over the fence, Door To Door Salesman and Loopy Luigi still yet to jump - Chardoneigh and Jajinsky have slowed up slightly coming out of the bend...


Jjainsky has really started to quicken up down this back straight - Phyllis now firmly in third chasing down Chardoneigh out of the bend - Loopy Luigi over that treacherous watert jump - Door to Door still sizing it up in fifth...


Down the back straight Jajinsky continues to lead but the others reeling him in, Chardoneigh now struggling to hold onto second, Phyllis and Loopy Luigi catching down thios straight...GREAT TURN OF PACE from Loopy Luigi, he gets around Chardoneigh and into second! Jajinsky coming into the fional corner now...


Jajinsky stumbles slightly going into the bend, Chardoneigh gets right on her tail, followed by Loopy Luigi very closely - this is still anyones team championship! Phyllis holding well in fourth - but the wildcard Door To Door Salesman now furlongs behind - with three to jump...


A FALLER AT THE THIRD!!


Its Loopy Luigi!! Disaster for Japan, it looked a painful landing, but he just clipped the hedge, such a good run as well such a shame! Has this become a two horse race?


Jajinsky coming into the final straight now! Chardoneigh is skidding out of the bend just two lengths behind - Phyllis jumping the final bend jump - Door To Door Salesman finally showing some pace entering the bend...
