Sportz, I have just had an idea which i wish i could have bought up earlier. You have never been shy to give out an email address on the site before and for guys who weren't able to access last night they could have emailed you the maximum they were prepared to pay for a particular horse and cause you were all over the site last night you could have bid on there behalf in $5,000 increments ala eBay up to there maximum.

Just a thought.

Quote from Rules:
"We'll be choosing horses in 3 different categories (4yo+, 3yo, 2yo) over the next three weeks. Once stables are selected, the comp will then run from Jan 26 to Apr 14 and the person whose stable earns the most prizemoney in Australian races during that period will be the winner".

It looks like a heck of a lot of these horses up for grabs have just gone into 3mth. spells after the big spring races. The comp ends in March. Isn't that a bit of a problem regarding earning prizemoney?

Goodness me. I understand the point you're making, but boy, that's a lot of effort. I was pretty busy as it was checking up on what was going on. And what if two people had wanted to bid for the same horse? Would I keep bidding back and forth against myself??? Also, there'd be a conflict of interest there for me. What if they'd wanted to bid on the same horse as me? I would know how much I had to beat.

Crash, it's up to the people in the comp to try to check up on the latest news and see what the owners and trainers are planning.

When I make out the original list of horses and I know for absolute certain that a horse won't be running during the autumn, then I won't include it. But if I'm not completely sure, then I put it on the list. And with some (like Natural Destiny apparently), the decision to spell comes too late for me to take them out.

It's quite a bit of work compiling these lists and I'm sorry if I've included a horse that won't be running, but that's just the way it is.

I appreciate all the effort sportz.
I just brought up the point for buyers to think about [in case they haven't]. Too bad if they have already spent bucks on horses that are now aimed at next spring's big races :-)

I see umrum is currently viewing the thread. Any chance that you could join in, umrum?

Hey Sportz
i think i have 370 left,,,could i have California Dane and Virage De Fortune please..if they are available...

having power suply probs with my computer,,,getting a new one tomorrow so i shud be right to be back on alittle more,,,

if there horses that still aren't sold can we get them at a discounted price later in the week? ;)

Chuck

... sounds like a good idea to me .... how about it sportz ?

Good Luck.

I'm sorry Mav. I certainly understand your problem, but I don't know that I can do that for you. You have until Wednesday night to choose your other horses, so why not take your pick from what's left tomorrow. Should still be quite a few good horses left.

We'll wait and see what happens first. Might come back later on after we've chosen the 3yos and 2yos.

it would have to be very discounted for me having about $25,000 left to spend

sportz when does the list of 3yos go up?

Casual Pass, Red Dazzler, Polar Bear = TOTAL 625,000

Sportz can I please get :

$225,000 . FAST 'N' FAMOUS

Thanks....

Virage De Fortune - $150 000

$125,000 . DE BEERS
$200,000 . SPARK OF LIFE
$100k Royal Asscher [ Lee Friedman]
$100k Cinq Rouge [ D. hayes]
$100k Murtajill [ Tim Martin]

OK Nadeen is out and when can I bid for the 3 X 2yr. olds on the bottom of my list?

Haven't you checked your emails, Chuck? It should be Wednesday night about this time.

Lad Of The Manor $250,000

Sportz, I assume the '$100k horses' were for any horse not on the list as stated by you I think.
My last selection is just a sub. in case someone had already bid for 1 of my other horses.

crash they are in the 2yo section

$150000 primus

sportz i did not recieve your email, right adress?

crash sportz has also said Nadeem is a 3yo so you can't have him yet

i went off my computer and forgot about buying the horses, am very annoyed i didn't get Media!!!!

Would've loved to have bought Crepe De Chine - she is a real goer.
Miss Andretti will have to be my sprinting superstar
A few at value for 100k - Pasikatera,
Live in Vain, Chiack - for those still shopping
Well done for the comp Sportz
It's been a lot of fun so far :)

I'm afraid you don't seem to have the hang of this. crash. :o

We are only choosing 4yo+ horses this week.

As I mentioned earlier on in the thread, you can't choose Nadeem this week as it's a 3yo which I included in the 4yo+ category by mistake. Sorry about that.

Also, those 3 extra horses you added are 2yos. You'll have to wait a couple of weeks to pick them and they'll certainly be more than $100,000.

Also, you're only allowed a maximum of 6 horses this week.

So, therefore you have a total of $375,000 left to choose one or two more 4yo+ horses.
