Now here's how it works.

As well as tallying up the prizemoney earned by our 5 horse stable during the Spring, starting from next week, we will also be selecting a few extra horses each week (from those that haven't been chosen already) to run for us in the biggest races of the day.

Now I'm off to bed.

Good work Sportz

Will

super effort sportz!

although i have some young horses i am very hopeful about their prospects in the spring and i think i will cream you all :p

Well done sportz.

don't know about miss andretti now - will she even run much in oz?
i don't suppose overseas races are included now?

very happy with the rest of the stable - especially the 'RULER'

Some very nice stables out there .... and I don't think many would complain with the stable they got at all.

Good Luck.

I agree completely Wesmip1. Everyone's in with a chance. Sportz, you've done a great job with the structure of this comp. One quick question; if someone's horse gets injured and are ruled out for the rest of Spring, would they be able to swap that horse out for their next pick from their list as long as it hasn't already been taken, and is from the same category?

No. Overseas races aren't included.

I think the plan is to give Miss Andretti a couple of runs in the big sprint races in Melbourne and then go to HK.

We'll see. I'm thinking of perhaps doing something like that at the halfway mark of the comp after the Sydney part of the carnival.

Okay, well here's how things stand after day one:

$72,000 . Sportz
$22,800 . Horse Whisperer
$13,500 . Maverick1993
$11,400 . Raw Instinct
$8,400 . Real Deal
$3,000 . Magivor

But it really starts to hot up next week.

Here are the nominations for the 3 races where we will be able to make extra stable selections this weekend. The ones in bold are the horses that have already been claimed and as such, can't be chosen.

G'day, Sportz. You're probably just about to explain this, but just in case...how do the extra stable selections work? Does everyone just select 1 extra horse for each race and post it here, or email them to you? Can more than 1 person select the same horse for this portion of the comp?

I don't think this is much of a secret and not sure if I am supposed to do this yet but I will have the Cat this weekend was close to taking him as a main selection but he just isn't going to be going for big enough money races.

Apache Cat for me this weekend

You can post your selections on here, and yes, you can choose the same horse as someone else.

On Thursday, when I post the final fields, I will give each horse a rating based on it's probability of winning prizemoney, and it's these ratings we'll be using to select our runners. We'll be able to choose different numbers of horses depending on how highly they're rated. For example, I'm not giving anything away when I say that Apache Cat is likely to be the highest rated horse this week and choosing him will be equal to choosing 2 or 3 lower rated horses.

Actually, I've had a bit of a rethink about this, and I think it might be better for the comp if you do send your selections to me by email.

Saturday, August 21

Choose your stable runners

In the end, I decided to go with 5 feature races to give people greater choice. These are the races where you can make additional selections to the ones you already have in your stable.

In these 5 feature races, the horses in bold have already been claimed in the draft and you can't choose them. With the rest of the runners, I have given them all a rating (out of 100) based on their chance of winning prizemoney. The idea is to choose which ever horses you like from these 5 races as long as their ratings don't add up to more than 100. So in other words, you could have 50+50, 40+40+20, 80+20, 40+30+20+10, 20+20+20+20+20 etc. And you can choose more than 1 horse in a race if you like.

Please send your selections to me by email. You have from now until midnight Friday night (Qld time) to send them.

sportznut67 @ hotmail . com

If you have to make a change to your selections, then you can, but once the midnight deadline arrives, that's it. And if one of your selections happens to be scratched on Saturday morning, I'm afraid that's just bad luck.

Here are the races:

G'day Sportz. Sounds good. One thing though. You might want to change the date on the heading of your post from 21 to 18.

Damn. Too late to edit it now. Where on earth did I get August 21 from??? :o

Anyway, I think you all know what I mean...............

Saturday, August 18

Email sent mate

same here.

Yeah, 3 entries so far.

In case you're wondering, there was a bit of a stuff up with the order of horses in the Premiere Stks when I got the fields earlier today. That's why German Chocolate is listed on top instead of Mentality which should be number 1. Weird. Anyway, for the purpose of this competition, the number of the horse doesn't matter at all. As long as you tell me the name of the horse, that'll do.

Anyway, 6 entries so far:
Real Deal
Magivor
Raw Instinct
Maverick1993
Horse Whisperer
and myself.

just sent mine through Sportz

9 entries so far. That leaves

Thanks

No, I'm sorry, mate. I didn't. I waited until midnight last night and nothing. I'm afraid it's too late now. Sorry. :o

It's a shame this forum doesn't allow private messages. Would make things MUCH easier for a comp like this.

I'd prefer that everyone sent their selections by email, but in future, if you're worried about your email not getting through to me, then I guess you can just post your selections on the forum instead.

Nah I'll be posting mine here much easyer. :mad:
