It was a GRAND finish to a memorable Derby. Under a hot sun, the battle continued until five combines remained in the contest. One by one they fell prey to the crushing blows of the opponents and finally there was one combine. With metal hitting metal and screaming fans, it was truly the ending to a perfect day. Congratulations to the five winners!

Congratulations!
