I honestly can't remember Mav to be honest with you it is losses you usually remember more than wins normally mate :)

Yeah, just looked up the results, Raw. You thrashed Mav both times in the last comp, once in Round 11 and then the first final. Both times you got over 200 points and Mav didn't score 50!!!

Thanks for that Sportz :) now i dont feel so guilty about beating a fellow Queenlander ...

LOL atleast if I am going to go down I'll can take a bit of heart that is going down to one of my Queensland bretheren

thank the lord for el segundo

saved my bacon in the comp and at the track

GO THE VICS !

Just realized i put up 5 selections. Just delete the Cheltenham selection.
Thanks

Yeah, seeing as you listed it after the other 4 selections, I just made it your first sub.

Just 10 minutes left to post tips.

wow cutting it fine westi

Damn. Needed a win in the last and could only manage 2nd!

Got a win in what was a disgusting day to have a bet glad it is over would have been huge if Gait could have got up for me personally had an all upper with it and Hello Possums dry track and a fast pace is what he is looking for.

When I looked at the races on thursday night I thought this is a terrible day to have a bet and didn't change my mind at any point today.

Yeah, it was a shocking day really. The races all seemed to be either small fields or short priced favs so no value OR huge fields where almost anything could win. I did have a couple of nice results though.

As far as the comp goes, here are the results so far:

umrum 124 (1 race left)
Westi 74 (2 races left)

Chiquita 108
Maverick1993 32

Spartacus 144
Real Deal 32

Raw Instinct 88
blinkerz 61

headsNtails 89
Horse Whisperer 32

Woody 139
Sportz 130

Chuck 53
luv2bet ???

Goldcoaster 51
Stix ???

luv2bet and Stix didn't post tips this week. At this stage, their opponents Chuck and Goldcoaster will be credited with wins. But as I mentioned at the beginning of the comp, there is a special catch up round on Mar 12 for people who've missed out on tipping in one of the first 5 rounds to get another chance. Chuck and Goldcoaster will also get another chance to improve their score on that day.

Guys, PLEASE make sure you don't forget to post tips. It's REALLY important in a head to head competition like this that everyone tips each week.

Boy, what a finish. Came down to the last race in Perth and Westi got up with a win to umrum's 2nd.

Westi 145
umrum 124

stupid thing is i posted my tips up early assuming a wet track in brisbane. backed both rumbird and (just for the place price) video hits, and forgot i didnt tip them on here. Would have got me up in the comp but ahh well, happier with money in the account :D

once anamato won, i had a small wager on doubting

wish i had've tipped her e/w in our match - 300 pts!

the day turned out ok for me though - i'm on a streak

Sportz

Sorry Mate, couldn't get near a computer Friday/Saturday.

Sorry Goldcoaster for not giving you some opposition - probably still would of beat me :o

Phew! finger-nails are a bit short today :) hope they grow back a bit for next weekend!!

congrats westi

been a tough start to the comp for me.
Broke dead even on saturday with halo pass going under. If he got a clear run at the top of the straight it would have been very very close.


cheers
umrum
