Very close this week, but results are in, Nimrod rides on to the group of 4 and another giant falls! So - you'll win next week - St. Saens or Vivaldi? It's anyone's guess!

Very close still in this week's Warhorse Horse Race, but at this point Elgar has a very slight lead! Beethoven's out. Will Mozart follow? Voting closes at midnight, ET.

And here's the bracket for the final 8 as it stands. The wildcard winner (Lark Ascending) will face off against the piece among the final 4 that has received the fewest votes!

Shocked and devastated. One of Canada's brightest musical lights. This is a terrible loss.
