The results so far is indicative of the amount of rubbish horses running around rather that punters selection ability here. I think most of the selections just aren't racing up to form [?] Maybe Virus booster shots have had somthing to do with it.

Also, this comp is all about winning races. Quite a lot of our horses have run 2nds or 3rds and we've got nothing out of them. Frustrating! If I run a comp similar to this again, I'll definitely make it each way betting. There are a few other things I'd do differently if I was starting the comp now.

I'll replace Come Fly With Me with Viking Storm thanks.

I'll also replace El Cambio with Ustino A Girl thanks.

Out goes RELATED in comes MOATIZE. Thanks

Sorry not to put this in one post but I'll replace Absent Friends with Mfuwe thankyou.

Viking Storm is scratched today. Does this allow me to replace it?

No, I'm sorry.

Never mind. Unless it's injured, I'm sure it'll be running again soon.

The comp ends in ten days doesn't it?

Yeah, that's right. Next Saturday. Oh well, you never know. It might run next week.

This Saturday is the end of the comp. Right [I can't see where the hell it is going otherwise]?

keep mine as is thanks

Next Saturday, May 31. Last day of autumn.

Can I have Halideck back?

Yes, you can.

Acquired had it's 3rd run for you today, so there's a spot left in your stable.

ok get rida burgeis and related.

add in hard to catch and double dare

Drop Vietnam and ill take Leather thanks.

I will have Dalzar and drop Sirmione

Thanks, i'll take out Acquired and put in Helideck.

I've already done that.

Now, THAT was close!!! I did think it had some hope, so I had a little each way bet. I was getting a tad excited there.

Great finish from Goldcoaster with Soul Diva getting up and paying $29.80. Wasn't quite enough though. Here are the final standings:

Crash $1,208.00
Goldcoaster $1,103.00
Horse Whisperer $754.00
Raw Instinct $732.00
Sportz $690.00
Chuck $615.00
Makybe Diva $592.00

Mr Quaddie $582.00
Spartacus $403.00

Well done, Crash.

Nice late charge from Goldcoaster [hope he backed it]. I consider my effort no more than a lucky couple of selections. Thank Sportz for the great effort in running the comp. Next time for sure you should score for the place. For the work that must have been involved in this, you are the real winner.

Cheers, Crash.

Yes, if I do something like this again, I'll definitely count placings.

Ready When You Are would have been good! ;)

Not that I had any chance on winning it but I must be the unluckiest prick with blackbooked horses not racing. First scratchings and now meetings being abandoned!

Thanks again Sportz for running it.
