1- hardy steele $3.00
11-Jar Jar binks $16.00
6- Limited Impulse $40.00

Top 2 came up very short here, meaning the bottom two selections have come up with very unrealistic prices...

2- Capadan $4.50
3- Evasion $4.50
4- You little Beaut $5.50

It's a weird race. Mr Magoo is a chance at his best, but was in market last start and was disappointing. I have always been of the opinion that he is best at Flemington where he can wind up. I think Jar Jar Binks is no good and doesn't go the Melbourne way, I have Cannyopera very short and it will be my biggest go of the day. I am very keen on it. I don't think it's definitely going to win, but I am very keen on the value it will be. I think my price is right, I think if this race were run 100 times today it would win 35 or so, and so the odds it will be will be great overs. Hardy Steele is strong but I think it has a tough ask today from the gate with the possibilty of a leaders track or a front runners track with the rail true.

I think if this race were run 100 times today, the horses would all be just a tad tired. :D

Yeah well, I thought I must have done something wrong only having Mr Magoo 4th pick. It was such a big tip today.

Okay, as this was a last minute sort of thing and to be fair to a few people who missed out, I reckon we should do what Filante suggested and count today's races as supplementary races, and we can simply count our two best scores out of the three so far.

Here's today's results:
Sportz (55 + 92.5) 147.5 pts
Filante (67.5 + 62.5) 130 pts
Jimmy (65 + 50) 115 pts
Duritz (47.5 + 65) 112.5 pts
Heavyweight (62.5 + 47.5) 110 pts
Shaun (45 + 47.5) 92.5 pts
Maverick1993 (27.5 + 60) 87.5 pts
ubetido (35 + 47.5) 82.5 pts
QuickFunBet (32.5 + 47.5) 80 pts
Top Rank 42.5 + 37.5) 80 pts
La Mer (40 + 37.5) 77.5 pts
The Mug (47.5 + 17.5) 65 pts
xpt driver (17.5 + 40) 57.5 pts
Chrome Prince (25 + 10) 35 pts

After tallying up our two best scores, here's the leaderboard:
Sportz 270 pts
Filante 260 pts
La Mer 252.5 pts
Jimmy 240 pts
zorro 230 pts
Top Rank 215 pts
Shaun 202.5 pts
Chrome Prince 187.5 pts
The heavyweight 182.5 pts
xpt driver 180 pts
Duritz 177.5 pts
ubetido 170 pts
The mug 167.5 pts
Dr Ron 165 pts
QuickFunBet 150 pts
system 137.5 pts
Rabbit 97.5 pts
Maverick1993 87.5 pts

I feel a bit guilty being up on top, but never mind. I'm sure I won't stay there for long.

Duritz 26th January 2005 11:45 PM

don't feel guilty - just announce that you forgot to mention there's a $100 entry fee, winner take all!

Sportz should take 10% just for running this - it's a massive amount of work. Thanks Sportz.

Duritz 27th January 2005 10:44 AM

Yeah agreed.

Had an idea by the way, if anyone feels like taking it up - when all the selections are in, how about coming up with a consensus figure from all of our efforts, say 5 points for top pick, 4 for second etc, to get a paper poll of sorts. It'd sort of show us how we'd go if we were the Borg...

If someone has a pricing model they could apply to this kind of thing that could be interesting too.

Duritz.
