No, that's not how you do it, mate.

Look, guys. I'm sorry. I obviously didn't explain this well enough. :o

You can't just pick "any other runner" or "any other jockey" for one point. You actually have to nominate one of those other runners or one of those other jockeys.

Okay, the deadline has passed for this week. Apologies to anyone who's missed out. Not a very high scoring week this one anyway, so you'll still have every chance to catch up. And of course, you'll still get any points that your stable stars or trainer picks up today.

Please remember that deadline in future of 7:30 Saturday morning. I have the lists up each week on Thursday afternoon, so try to come on and post tips as early as possible to avoid missing out.

Just noticed that you chose Cats Whisker again after you'd already chosen it as one of your 3 "stable stars". Sorry mate, but unfortunately, that's a wasted pick as you don't get any extra points for that. You simply get the double points for having her as one of your stable stars. You can't get triple points.

So everyone make sure they keep a list of the 3 horses they chose earlier as their stable stars, because you have to remember not to choose them again when they race.

My bad sportz...

okay sportz..could you expand a little more please..to make it clearer for me (& others)..hypothetical example..cats whisker wins & (best case scenario) i pick the runner-up..how better off would i be? ..cheers

The points for all 3 races today are:

1st = 8 points
2nd = 4 points
3rd = 2 points
4th = 1 point

winning trainer = 4 points
winning jockey = 2 points

And of course, your stable stars get double points, so if Cats Whisker wins today, that's 16 points. So if you had the runner up as well, you'd get 20 points.

But I must repeat something that I mentioned earlier. You don't have to pick a horse in each race. You can pick 2 or 3 horses in the same race if you want. I picked 2 horses in one race today.

Well done Makybe Diva! It's a shame you didn't post your selections for this week, or you would have probably been even further in front of everyone.

Hey Sportz, does Luv2Bet get 4 points for having Kavanagh as his trainer selection?

Yes, he does. I just forgot to include him in the leaderboard. :o

Sportz not sure but do I get points for Greg Eurell for Mic Macs second and also for Danny Nicolic sor his second aswell?

No, only wins.

that is fine mate i tried to look but it was around 5am couldn't sleep cause I was still to ****ed should have just waited till i sobered up a bit more to have a look.

Sorry to be a pest Sportz. Shouldn't Rabbitz get 8 points for a stable star 2nd on Mic Mac (2x4 points), plus 4 points for a winning trainer (Kavanagh) for a total of 12 points?

No, don't worry about being a pest. It's my fault for making a mistake. I've got it in my book here - 8 points for Mic Mac, 4 points for Mark Kavanagh, yet for some silly reason I put the total down as 8. I'll try to make sure I don't make mistakes in future. :o

Bad news for Horse Whisperer, Maverick and Samboss. Tuesday Joy, one of your Stable Stars, has been retired. article

Also, I bit of bad news for Jake, Makybe Diva, Rabbitz and Spartacus too. Mic Mac won't be racing in the Cox Plate. article

Yeah, always thought there was a chance they might be retiring Tuesday Joy soon. Bad luck, guys.

And Sea Battle is out for the Spring apparently, so bad news for Stix. article

Great.... :eek:

Should of picked Nicconi.... :o

HEY SPORTZ
ILL REPLACE VIGOR WITH TUESDAY JOY
THANKS MATE

I assume you mean replace Tuesday Joy with Vigor. But anyway, whatever the case, I'm afraid you can't do that. This is from the rules on page one of the thread..........

The "stable stars" are 3 horses that we pick now and they stay with us right through to the end of the comp, injury, poor form whatever.

So, I'm afraid you're stuck with Tuesday Joy even though she's not going to earn you any points. That's just the way it goes. You can still pick Vigor from the weekly lists though. Don't forget to post your tips for that.
