New Tipping Comp

[Sportz]

Hi,

This is a new idea that runs along the lines of Football tipping comps, only we're using horses of course.

For the next few weeks (until the end of the Sydney carnival), I'll post a series of match races, where you have to pick the best 'team' of horses. The team which contains the highest placed horse will be the winner. It might sound confusing, but it's not really. I'll post this week's races and I'm sure you'll soon get the idea.


MATCH 1 - PARRAMATTA LEAGUES CLUB STAKES (ROSE R4)

HOME: SHE'S MEANER / SAMANTHA MISS / PORTILLO
AWAY: SUGAR BABE / GLOWLAMP / DELTA GIRL



MATCH 2 - VEOLIA ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES STAKES (ROSE R5)

HOME: TRIPLE HONOUR / HURRIED CHOICE / MURTAJILL / CRAVINGS
AWAY: SERIOUS SPEED / MEGATIC / ELECTROMOTIVE / CENT PER CENT



MATCH 3 - SA OAKS (MORP R4)

HOME: MOMENT IN TIME / ALL ABOUT ANNIE / TRULY BEAUTIFUL
AWAY: QUEEN OF QUEENS / EASTER BUNNY / INKSTER



MATCH 4 - CLEANEVENT STAKES (ROSE R6)

HOME: COOLROOM CANDIDATE / LES ROSES / IS AMAZING / THRONE INN
AWAY: RIO OSA / GAMBLE ME / LITTER / DANASIERRA



MATCH 5 - ROSEHILL GUINEAS (ROSE R7)

HOME: MARCHING / KINGDA KA / GUILLOTINE / STEEL GIANT
AWAY: LITTORIO / DEALER PRINCIPLE / LARGO LAD / ARLINGTON



MATCH 6 - SA DERBY (MORP R6)

HOME: ZARITA / EL DAANA / ARAZAMATAZ
AWAY: ZAGREB / MEGA BOSS / VIGOR



MATCH 7 - GOODWOOD HCP (MORP R7)

HOME: HERE DE ANGELS / TRAMUNTANA / LET GO THOMMO / MONET RULES
AWAY: PUBLISHING / DIPLOMATIC FORCE / IMMORTALITY / CARGO CULT



MATCH 8 - AJAX STAKES (ROSE R9)

HOME: FRIDAY CREEK / BARLINNIE / FALAISE / MR UBIQUITOUS
AWAY: BOBADAH / GERMAN CHOCOLATE / VIEWED / JUST MAMBO


Now what you have to do is pick the team which will have the highest placed horse out of all those listed. Now, obviously, if one of your horses wins the race, then you win, simple as that. But your horses don't necessarily need to win the race. All they have to do is finish ahead of all the horses in the other team, and you win.

So, simply post your selections like this:

1. HOME
2. AWAY
3. HOME
4. HOME
5. HOME
6. AWAY
7. HOME
8. AWAY

You'll be given a point for each correct selection and if you manage to get all 8 right for a "perfect round", then that's a bonus 4 points.

If there are any scratchings amongst the teams, then that is just bad luck and you'll have to depend on what horses you have left. If ALL of the horses in one team are scratched however, then that match race is abandoned.

Selections must be in by midnight, Friday night.

No. As I said, you just go with what horses are left in that team. If people want to change their tip for that match, they can, but they have to do it by midnight tonight.

Okay, we're closed off now, so if anyone else wanted to tip, I'm afraid it's too late this week. Feel free to have a go, next week.

[ijuandaQLD]

just got on to site sports and missed out but like the look of this comp.... always fun when you dont actually have to pick the horses, when they're picked for you.

[Mr Quaddie]

I just noticed my eight selections is complete opposite than the top. Just stick with the top ones that are close to the race name. Sorry!

[Sportz]

Hmmm, should have stuck with the wrong tips, Mr Quaddie. You'd be in front! ;)

Was a very tough round!

LA MONTAGNA


was that the horse that was favourite for the stradbroke after a sizzling win in brisbane the start before? what ever happened to it?

[Sportz]

La Montagna WON the Stradbroke, Chuck. In 2006. I know. I backed her! :)

She hasn't done a whole lot since then, but she's had a lot of injury problems.

Would LOVE to see her get back to form, but somehow I doubt it. When horses have been off the scene for so long, they usually don't recapture their old form.

no you get a 4 point bonus for getting a perfect round. check sportz rules on the first page.

[Sportz]

This is the last week of this comp.

It is still possible for anyone down to about 12 points to win. Certainly, a perfect round will give you a very good chance.

Well done, crackone.

So near but yet so far for Goldcoaster who got 7 out of 8 today. A perfect round would have had him up top.

[Crackone]

Thanz Sportz and thanks for running it.
Cheers

[maverick1993]

well done Crackone ,,,great comp sportz ,,,when are you going to run that footy style comp again ??

[Sportz]

We'll see.

[Chuck]

nice work crackone , you killed us!

thanks as always to Sportz, this was a nice new comp.

btw my favourite comp we've had was the one where we had the auction for horses....there were a couple of issues but these can eaily be resolved e.g. i think if we simply made a maximum bid increase that would stop people taking 1 horse for the top price....anyway i reckon the bidding wars were great

[Horse Whisperer]

Yeah, might do that again in the spring I think.
