damn...its an absolute sure thing...i will be backing it for sure if its anything above $1.30!!!

i forgot Blessum $5 E/W

Yeh, ditto on Happier. I was looking in my copy of the winning post, and like the so called tipster had some other horse to beat happier and it was his best bet for the day. Serious paint sniffer.

Yeah, I'm not happy about it either. But remember you did want to stick to the original rules of the comp, and I agreed that's what we should do. So we'll both have to live with the trainer's strange decision to run the horse at Newcastle tomorrow. $1.30 might be a luxury.

What was that horse? Northfield Drive?

Thats the one sportz.

Well, there you go. Just proves once again that there isn't any such thing as a sure thing.

lucky for me it wasn't above $1.30, so i didn't back it! :D

lucky i remembered, isn't it!

Brilliant run there...possibly one for the future...

why, oh why did i have $10 e/w on Roman Arch instead of $20 Win :Shake of head:

At least you had a win.

And it only won by a nose. So just think if it had lost by a nose, you would have been quite happy with each-way.

$400.00 Mr Ed
$299.50 Chuck
$231.00 Raw Instinct
$159.00 Rudolph

$39.00 RomanKoz

How did Mr Ed go to $400 when he didn't even have a bet?

Well, Mr Ed may not be around on the forum at the moment, but I'm still counting his stable runners, just as I am with Paddy. I expect you'll probably say that's not fair, but this comp is all about picking future winners and if Mr Ed can somehow manage to win despite not making any changes at all to his stable over the whole competition, then he really deserves it. Surely you or I or someone else should be able to beat him.
