[Sportz]

No hope for me today I think. Took too long. So confused about what to do, I procrastinated too much and missed posting my first tip... Slate On Edge! :(

Worst thing is I only had two horses all day which I picked out using my normal method, Slate On Edge and Rock Forthe Ladies. And now I've missed one of them. So I'm not expecting much now.

I'll try these and just hope they're around the money somewhere...

FLEM 4-1 OTTOMAN $10ew
FLEM 4-8 TEMPT ME NOT $5ew
FLEM 4-10 ZARA BAY $10ew

FLEM 5-1 RAGNAAR $10ew
FLEM 5-5 KRYPTONIAN $10ew
FLEM 5-6 HURSLEY $5ew

FLEM 6-5 ATMOSPHERICAL $10ew
FLEM 6-6 THE QUARTERBACK $10ew
FLEM 6-17 WILD RAIN $5ew

FLEM 7-1 ELOPING $5ew
FLEM 7-9 BROOK ROAD $10ew
FLEM 7-14 HIDDEN PEARL $10ew

FLEM 9-3 BURNING FRONT $10ew
FLEM 9-7 ROCK FORTHE LADIES $10ew
FLEM 9-8 LORD ATHENEUM $5ew

[Sportz]

Wow, we're picking some winners today. Well done, guys.

[embee]

Yes I know what you mean ..had r3-1 and r5-1 same as William so had to change ..can't believe price slate on edge ..photo finish coming up I think ..

[Sportz]

can't believe price slate on edge

The prices that I use for my method had it marked favourite which was part of the reason I was going to pick it, but I took too long deciding what I was going to do so I missed out!

[Sportz]

Wow, we're picking some winners today. Well done, guys.

So much for that. Race 7 sorted us out.

[embee]

william, there is no longer a place pool in Syd R4. Would you like to have $25win now or just take the place bet out and leave it at $20 win?

Sportz...thanks for the update .....25 win

[Sportz]

Neither of us going that great today, william. Going to come down to the last few races in Perth.

[Sportz]

I've got 2 tips left, william has 1. As it stands, william is in front. So I need at least 1 winner, possibly 2.

[Sportz]

Okay, it all comes down to the last race at Ascot.

william has the lead. For me to pass him, Neverland has to win and has to pay at least $1.60. Currently showing around $1.80.

[Lord Greystoke]

May the best man win gentlemen. You are both CHAMPIONS in my book.

Cheers LG

[william]

Hi Sportz ....this was always going to be a close one ..what a better way to finish the comp with a "Photo Finish" :) ..Good luck in the last at Ascot Sportz

[Sportz]

Phew. Was worried for a while there!

[william]

Congratulations Sportz well deserved win my friend..and a special thanks for an excellent run comp once again.

William

[Sportz]

FINAL RESULT

Sportz 61.3 v William 58.3

Won't go down as one of the better tipping performances, but it was certainly close.

[Sportz]

Well, there it is. Bad luck, william.

Thanks to everyone who had a go. Hope you had fun. Probably be back in the autumn!
