Spartacus,

You don't get an extra tip. It's your opponent that does. In finals matches, the tipster listed FIRST gets an extra tip, so that means Stix.

So which one do you want to demote to the subs bench?

Sportz sorry didn't realise there was only 7 horses in the race in sydney can you please just make Something Anything to win only

a long neck from putting this match away at 50-1 ;)

Well done. $10.50 for the place!

Well, it looks like the 2 winners today are Chuck and Woody. Chuck has his match already wrapped up with 2 races still to go. Meanwhile Woody is leading Raw 102-0. Raw has a runner left but it's highly unlikely it will pay enough for him to win.

I must admit I am sort of glad I have been knocked out here I haven't been able to get anything going the last couple of weeks and I am pretty much ready to give the whole thing away, Well done Woody you have belted me today and good luck the rest of the comp to you and everyone else.

I'll still check in just not for a few weeks going to get away from the horses for awhile cause I can't keep going the way I have been.

i need Milonga to get up in the last and i've got the quaddie :)

Good Luck Chuck hope you get it

Best of luck with it, Raw. Taking a break for a while might be a good idea.
