In a thrilling blanket finish, the three horses lunged at the post with Mr Big earning the verdict by a head from Waikato with Arowana Dot Com third another short head away. The winning time was 1min 10.01secs.

Beasley was full of praise for the evergreen nine-year-old Waikato whose fast-closing second may have convinced trainer Laurie Laxon to shelve retirement talks for his $3 million earner - for now.

“I was at my top in the straight but just couldn’t quite get into the clear until the last bit,” said Beasley.

“I’m really proud of the horse and the effort he put in. It still shows that he’s competitive in these types of race.

“I’m just disappointed he didn’t win.”
