Series #100 – Run 5 – 6 July 2022 – Run No. 599
SYDNEY CORPORATE CUP POINTSCORE TROPHY
Our luck with the weather ran out in run 5, with persistent rain falling throughout the run. It was mostly light, with a couple of brief heavier spells, but it was enough to deter many runners and the total score was the lowest of the series by quite a margin. Reserve Bank Magic Milers had the top score with 79 points, followed by State Treasury with 70 and Macquarie Generals with 66. The overall top three places remain unchanged and State Treasury now look to have the competition in the bag. The total points scored in run 5 was 970.
