Reckon I'll keep hold of Hot Danish Sportz to good to let go of that one.

yeah im with raw, might keep her for another run or two

Since I only have 11 in my stable (with 2 not running any more - Eremein and Fiumicino) I will add Tuesday Joy to complete my dozen.Try Try Again

You will be able to replace them in a couple of weeks time.

Are we doing this today? Because at least one of my horses is running down the Coast.

I'll keep Hot Danish and Musket

i'll add desert war and court command and i'll keep the rest

Yep. Today's runners count. I'll update it all tonight.

I will keep Danerip. I might add another later on this week. I'll keep you posted.

It would be cool if there was a harness racing blackbook comp like this, but maybe that might be better on a forum that supports harness racing more.

i'll keep Geris thanks Sportz...can i add more later this week?

Yep. You can add them now if you want, but if you want to add horses that are racing this Saturday, you have to post them by Thursday night at the latest. You have two more spots left in your stable.

I'll add a couple of Qld. metro horses:
IN REHEARSAL
ANDROUGE

Sportz, you said once a horse had won for us we can then get rid of it, so if it wins and we decide to keep it, can we then drop it whne we like or do we have to wait for it to win again or have its 4 starts??

No, you have to wait for it to win again, or have another 3 starts.

Boy, we're REALLY struggling to find winners!!! The number of times we've finished 2nd is amazing. Anyway, I still get the feeling that someone's liable to have $30 on a nice priced winner or something like that. There are quite a few horses which have had 2 losing runs, so they're going to have their 3rd and final run in the next week or two.

I'll let Zarita go after her strong win in Adelaide.
I will replace her with Littorio.

Try Try Again

I'm still coming to grips with this comp. How many horses can I sack and replace?

crash you can keep he's canny and thats it, or you can drop it and replace with another

sportz ill keep swiss ace thanks.

The only one you can replace at the moment is He's Canny.

You can only replace a horse if:

(a) they win a race
(b) they have 3 unsuccessful runs for you
(c) they go for a month without having a run

So, you can either replace He's Canny OR keep him in your stable and he'll have another 3 runs for you.

There are several horses which will be in this category after this Saturday's races. So when I do the next update, some of us will be able to replace a few horses.

Sportz Divine Madonna has just been retired, can i have a new one?

Sorry mate, you have to wait until she's been in your stable for a month without racing. So that's a few more weeks. I'll let you know when you can replace her. If Benatar doesn't run this week, you'll be able to replace her next week.



Meanwhile, Black Piranha has now had 3 unsuccessful runs for Rabbitz, so it's gone! He can replace it if he wants.

C'mon guys. Surely one of us must be able to get a good win up this weekend! :o

like the comp sportz but reckon you are almost penalised for picking a consistent winner

i think the $ put on a horse should still increase to $20 and $30 for 2nd and 3rd runs even if you've kept a winner and then after 3rd run it would go back to the start if you decided to keep it

you could keep a horse for 3 runs and regardless of results it would be $10,20 & 30 bets

that said, the comp is a great concept and one i wouldn't have thought of - you're always thinking outside the square, sportz ol' buddy - keep it up

So since the Black Pirahna is gone I'll put in Tuesday joy

I don't mean to be a whinge but don't you have to have entries in by Thursday night?

You can put horses in any time you like, but if you want to pick a horse that's racing on a Saturday, then yes, you have to do it by Thursday night. So today's win won't count for Rabbitz.

Yeah, good points there I agree. But I'm not going to change the rules now that we're a month in. Will definitely make a few moderations for next time, if there is a next time.

Here's an update. I've deleted all the horses that have had 3 losing runs.

The horses in bold are the winners and also the ones which haven't raced for a month. Horses that have haven't raced for a month can be replaced.

Mr Quaddie,

You need to add some horses as you now only have 7.

I can add a maximum of seven runners right?

I'll get rid of Tuesday Joy thankyou. Gonna have to wait till the BMW and it's not worth it for the price it will be.

I'll keep Tuesday Joy and ad Related (of course my younger brother got 100/1 about him for the Slipper)

i'll keep Coniston Gem thanks

If you get rid of Mentality and Zapurple, yes. You're allowed a maximum of 12 in your stable.

I'll let go of Mentallity

I'm at a bit of a loss here with this sort of comp. How do I know where the hell my selections are racing next [if at all]?
