HERE is the phot0 finish of last Wednesday’s $US500,000 Qatar Derby over 2000m at Al Rayyan Racecourse – well covered in the media due to the fact that Rogue Runner (blue silks, far side), was announced the winner at first call.

However, a dead-heat was later declared with Mike de Kock’s runner Tannaaf (nearest camera), who’d stormed up late to claim his slice of the prize.
