Delta Blues has won in a photo finish from the other more fancied Japanese runner Pop Rock.Maybe Better has finished third, Zipping fourth, while Zabeat finished last. The two Japanese horses stormed home in a thrilling finish to the 3200 metre race, which carries a first prize of $3 million and a second prize of $750,000. Damien Oliver, riding second place-getter Pop Rock, says the Japanese camp deserved to win."I have so much admiration for the Japanese horses. I've spent a couple of seasons there and know how hard they go," he said.
