Series #108 – Run 5 – 02 April 2025 – Run No. 647
GENERAL BUSINESS
Today we give a special mention and congratulations to John CANTLON of State Audit, who reached 500 runs in run 5.
SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
I missed this run, doubly unfortunate, as the report is that “The weather was the best it has been so far this series, slightly cooler and it seemed a lot less humid. That is why there was an explosion of point scoring!”
Turnout was 389 runners, slightly down on run 4, but as noted there was an explosion of points. 13 teams scored more than 100 points. Westpac Trotters top scored with 191, followed by Macquarie Generals with 186 and Reserve Bank Magic Milers with 167. However, there was no change to the top 3 rankings.
