Half a win was better than no win at all for leading Victorian jockey Glen Boss at Werribee yesterday.
Boss returned to riding 11 days ago after missing the spring carnival with a serious shoulder injury but had to wait until the last race at Werribee to salute the judge on Forever Here.
Both he and rival Daniel Moor who rode Condahussler in the 1400m event thought Forever Here had won outright but the photo finish showed a dead heat.
"I thought I'd got there but I'll take half a win," Boss said.
There was a scare for Boss on Saturday at Sandown when he was dislodged from Josimar at the start of the Summer Championship Final.
