Okay, well, So You Think is so short, I decided to look to another race as the feature race this week. If you want to pick So You Think or indeed one of the other Cox Plate runners, you still can, but the feature race this week will be race 4.

This is the final round, so the top 8 tipsters after this week will go on to the finals.

[samboss]

GOOD WORK SPORTZ! WELL DONE TO THE FINALISTS. THANKS FOR A GOOD COMP.

[Sportz]

Important - Please read:

During the final series, tipsters who finished higher on the ladder, are given the "home ground advantage" of having one more tip than their opponent. While they will still have the same number of tips as per normal, their opponents will only get 4 tips - the feature race and 3 other tips. The tipsters with the home ground advantage are listed first. So that means that the following tipsters are the ones with one less tip this week - Pedro, nags2riches, Sirpent, Goldcoaster.

Also, please note that if you tip 2nd in your matchup, you can't choose any of the extra tips that your opponent has already chosen. You can pick the same feature race selections, but that's it. Your other tips must be different.

[Sportz]

Bad luck to the guys who had Lion Tamer as a reserve.

[Raw Instinct]

here is the sad part when the rain came I liked Lion Tamer better than anything and really liked Sacred Choice in the wet worked out fine for me financially hasn't helped me here.

No way I would have had Chasm in the next was hoping they might scratch for me not going to happen though.

[Sportz]

No way I would have had Chasm in the next was hoping they might scratch for me not going to happen though.

Geez, unlucky again. Greg Miles called it 3rd, but it didn't look that way to me. And sure enough, 4th!

[Raw Instinct]

lol yea funny that i was actually cheering home Whitefriars I am having a great day just not here unbelieveable the rain changed my picks around so much hope Albert can get up in the last as I have an all uper going over onto him from Whitefriars would be a great end to the day.

[Sportz]

Not forgetting I am sure we are waiting to see what happens with the weather. just looked at the map it looks the rain that was coming from adelaide has split the top half looks like it will still sort hit Melbourne maybe not as bad as was thought though.

Hmmm, should have waited a bit longer by the looks of it.

You can post tips any time up to 30 mins before the feature race.

[Raw Instinct]

yea i know problem was i really wanted Cedarberg and Count your fingers was literally just an i can't pick anything else

[jasent2006]

Did you follow J Cassidy?

[Raw Instinct]

no mate just happened that way today to be honest.

Albert was a good run bit wet for him today

[Raw Instinct]

what happens now sportz geez we went well :)

[Sportz]

What happened today???

Seriously, the less said about today's tips, the better! Look at all the duck eggs! :eek:

Qualifying finals

Pedro 48
Maverick1993 0

Raw Instinct 0
nags2riches 0

Elimination finals

Sirpent 91
aidleo 0

luv2bet 0
Goldcoaster 0

I was really fearing something like this would happen. I'm afraid I didn't set out any rules for such a situation and I should have after something similar nearly happened last year. :o

Anyway, here's what I'm going to do. If they can have a replay in the AFL and finish a week later, heck, so can we. So, in those matchups that ended up 0-0, I'm going to let you guys come back on Melbourne Cup day and have another go at sorting it out. And PLEASE make sure you DO sort it out!

So, that means the other finals will all be pushed back, so that the grand final now won't be on next Saturday. It'll be on the following Saturday, November 13 (hopefully ;) ).

When it comes to the results of the other matchups, Pedro goes right through to the prelim finals which will be on next Saturday. Meanwhile, Mav gets to fight another day in the semi finals which will be on Thursday and Sirpent will also tip again next on Thursday. Unfortunately aidleo is knocked out. Sorry mate.

[Sportz]

So here we go.....

Tuesday:

Qualifying final
Raw Instinct v nags2riches

Elimination final
luv2bet v Goldcoaster

Same as today. The tipster mentioned second gets one less tip. And of course the feature race of the day will be the Cup.

[maverick1993]

Awful day , and i was confident in brissie . lost a stack :( only shining light is a little ticket i have on Maluckyday at a zillion to one ,
dont even have any doubles alive.
the Fat ran well today , thought Shocking was flat and with the weight a risk on Tuesday.
Maluckyday a big show in the big one if Hawkes decides definitely to run.

[Raw Instinct]

I had one of my biggest days ever i know i didn't put them in my tips but Lion Tamer, Sacred Choice, Star Witness, Whitefriars, Age of Heroes and last of all but certainly not least Ashma's Gold in brissie (the last one i $30 to win on IAS before i went down to collect at the TAB and put $20 on my TAB account because i just wanted to get them all back to even ammounts the decided i would through an extra $20 e/w on at the TAB when i got there guess this happens where your having a great day)

[TheSchmile]

Hi Raw Instinct it's The Schmile here,

I had a massive grin on my face when Star Witness strode in virtually untouched as I knew you would have smashed it!! Thanks for the tip, I blackbooked it when you liked it for the Blue Diamond and the only question now is far will it get?? 1600-2000m.

Couldn't pick my nose the rest of the card at Flemington, I backed whitefriars last start when it wins running a TRACK RECORD and don't back it next start at $18. We punters are a funny lot! I was booking myself into the lunatic asylum until I managed to snag Phenomenal Lass at Rosehill. Couldn't believe the $23.80 on Betfair. That deserved a SHAZAAM.

If anyone else is going to the cup, I'll be the 6 foot 5 guy with curly hair and clockwork orange hat. Come and have a beer and we can talk crap about racing, the best game in the world.

I'm SMASHING So You Think. I don't care what anyone says. I want him to be the next Phar Lap.

Last word goes to the stunning brunette in the white lace dress, 6 inch stiletto's and carefully perched champagne glass, who virtually took my breath away at Flemington. This vision of splendour is imprinted on my soul forever...............

[Raw Instinct]

love your work man wish i was down in melbourne this week but alas Metallica won out and i am down there in 2 weeks time shame they could schedule it close together would have been amazing week for me.

Glad you were on Star Witness if he ever settles properly in a race he could be anything stick with in straight racing he will love it.

[TheSchmile]

Giddyup!!

So, in those matchups that ended up 0-0, I'm going to let you guys come back on Melbourne Cup day and have another go at sorting it out. And PLEASE make sure you DO sort it out!


Well, what happened? Seriously, guys. This isn't good. :o

I don't like doing this, but I'm going to have to use a tiebreaker this time and nags2riches gets the win based only on the fact that he had one less tip on both occasions.

But Raw Instinct is still alive in the comp.

[maverick1993]

the way i'm going its the only way i'd beat him..

I was so close to pulling dead end out of my tips this morning and having 2 from the same race in being Zingaling and Status Symbol had the message typed and stopped.

Congrats to luv2bet and good luck to all still in the comp and also big thanks to sportz for running the comp

[luv2bet]

unlucky raw, great pick all the same though, hope you won a motza!!
Glad you backed the cobweb Mav, was pretty keen today. Thought the speed in the race would suit nicely.
Had a belter of a day today for limited number of bets. Curtana, the cobweb, temple of boom and the tri for 2 units in race 5...
lookin forward to saturday!

[Raw Instinct]

Yea had a real good day thanks mate only because of it but lets face it at $50.70 for the win on IAS you don't need to have much on to have a real good one. Take away cup day and it has been an amazing flemington carnival for me after saturday I'll be taking a well earned break from the punt for the rest of the year I would say hopefully I can jag a couple more staurday.

once again good luck guys it has been fun as always

Well done Mav. You've beaten me by a short half head. I was confident going into my last race with Ghetto Blaster's first up form, but he's let me down!!!
Good luck in the final.
Great comp Sportz. Thanks for all your hard work.

It sure has been hard work. And now look what's happened! Another draw! :rolleyes:

Pedro 34

I'm really sorry Pedro, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to give that match to luv2bet purely on the basis of having one less tip than you. Sorry about that, and bad luck. :o

Definitely going to have to do something to stop all the draws next year!

So that means next week's final will be: Maverick1993 v luv2bet

[luv2bet]

geez, that was lucky!!

might have to pull my finger out next week,,

unlucky pedro

[maverick1993]

Thanks Nags,

Didnt really think i had a chance as i had done the form on Slow/heavy ,

Had a massive collect with Moudre and thanks to persian Star wonderful exotic divies, really weird i did it last year in the exact same race after a struggle through the carnival.

I'm glad the jock had a shocker on Ghetto , really poorly ridden.

Good Luck in final Luv2 ,

Sportz do we get the same amount of tips ?

[Sportz]

Yep.

5 each including the feature race which will be the Sandown Cup or Classic, whatever it's called.

[Sportz]

Yep.

5 each including the feature race which will be the Sandown Cup or Classic, whatever it's called.

Had a change of heart there. The Sandown Classic only has 8 runners and Zipping is possibly going to be odds-on, so I've decided to make the Guineas our feature race of the day.

[maverick1993]

Well done Luv2 :) you've been the most consistent in the comp and deserved the win

Thanks Again Sportz for all your hard work :) still the best comp on the net.

Maybe one day management might through the winner something ?? even a token $10 bet would be something.

[Sportz]

Thanks Again Sportz for all your hard work :) still the best comp on the net.


No worries. Will be making a few little changes next year to make it easier for both tipsters and the bloke running the thing. ;)

Well done luv2bet. Still one race to go for you, but you've got it wrapped up. Congratulations. :)

[luv2bet]

thanks guys, well done sportz once again a great effort to run a super comp..
good to have my name on the honour roll amongst the champions..

Lookin forward to defending the title next year.

I agree with Mav, i said the same last year, management should throw the winner something and you sportz double for the interest this creates.
cheers
