Testarossa, you are absolutely on fire today, mate!!! 3 stable stars, 3 big wins!!! Well done! :)

Just like the Blue Diamond, I managed to get the winner, but had the wrong horse as my stable star.

Yeah thanks mate, don't i know it, best day i've ever had on the punt, also had that Charvicky in Brissie which paid $108 :) had an all up on Serenade Rose, Eremein and Miss Finland, Biggest bet i've ever placed on Miss Finland, plus winners like Snippetson and Barabba Road and Oliver's Magic and its been a big day, hopefully Southern Venture can win in a min, big bet on it as well :)

Geez, well done!!! Don't know how you got Charvicky! :eek:

I've had a great day too. Backed all 5 Group 1 winners, although I guess 3 of them did seem pretty obvious. A couple of other good winners as well. :)

Great work with the comp, Testa. You'll definitely be well in front after today. Going to take a big effort to catch you now.

I like my stable runners this weekend but somehow I doubt they will make up a 3.2 mill deficit.

Good work Testarossa.

Originally, when I started thinking about the Fantasy Racing comp this year, I was only going to go as far as this weekend, the end of the Sydney carnival. That was the plan. But then at the last minute, I decided to change that and include the Brisbane carnival as well.

Well, as it's turned out, Testarossa has turned in such a brilliant tipping display, that it is now virtually impossible for him to be caught from here on in, no matter what happens during May or June. There just isn't enough prizemoney left for anyone to realistically have a chance of catching him, even with double prizemoney for stable stars. As a result, I think interest in the competition would definitely drop off from here on in.

So, I'm wondering, would anyone mind too much if I decide to go back to my original thought and call it quits after this weekend? I really think that tomorrow would be an appropriate time to finish up this comp now.

Sounds fair enough Sportz. Thanks for a great comp. It would be a lot of extra work for you just to see how much Testarossa could spank us by. Congrats again to you Testa.

Thanks very much guys, i guess was lucky with not having injuries as a lot of other stables seemed to have, and thanks Sportz for another well run comp, don't know how you do it, but your a champion.

congratulations Testa you thrashed us by the length of the proverbial straight:)

Congratulations TestaRossa,

Very nice stable you had ....

Well, there it is.

BIG congratulations to Testarossa. A magnificent tipping effort. Your horses were unstoppable during April. Brilliant effort. Well done!

And also congratulations to syllabus23 who ended up on top of the betting comp and was the only one to actually end up in the black.

Sorry to anyone who wanted to keep going with this until June, but I really thought it was an appropriate time to finish up today at the end of the Sydney carnival. And as suggested earlier, Testarossa had such a commanding lead that he basically couldn't be caught.

I'll probably end up running another similar sort of comp in the Spring and I've already thought of a few rule changes to make it fairer and easier for everyone.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who had a go this time. :)
