geez it is almost like Mav and I have turned back the clock

Okay, well, So You Think is so short, I decided to look to another race as the feature race this week. If you want to pick So You Think or indeed one of the other Cox Plate runners, you still can, but the feature race this week will be race 4.

This is the final round, so the top 8 tipsters after this week will go on to the finals.



Round 9:
Oct 23
aidleo v Pedro v Horse Whisperer
Sirpent v Maverick1993 v William
luv2bet v TheSchmile v Chuck

SAMBOSS
 

GOOD WORK SPORTZ! WELL DONE TO THE FINALISTS. THANKS FOR A GOOD COMP.

Important - Please read:

During the final series, tipsters who finished higher on the ladder, are given the "home ground advantage" of having one more tip than their opponent. While they will still have the same number of tips as per normal, their opponents will only get 4 tips - the feature race and 3 other tips. The tipsters with the home ground advantage are listed first. So that means that the following tipsters are the ones with one less tip this week - Pedro, nags2riches, Sirpent, Goldcoaster.

Also, please note that if you tip 2nd in your matchup, you can't choose any of the extra tips that your opponent has already chosen. You can pick the same feature race selections, but that's it. Your other tips must be different.

Best of Luck Raw. I agree about a hard day at the office!

Come on aidleo, don't miss out. :o

Bad luck to the guys who had Lion Tamer as a reserve.

here is the sad part when the rain came I liked Lion Tamer better than anything and really liked Sacred Choice in the wet worked out fine for me financially hasn't helped me here.

No way I would have had Chasm in the next was hoping they might scratch for me not going to happen though.

Geez, unlucky again. Greg Miles called it 3rd, but it didn't look that way to me. And sure enough, 4th!

lol yea funny that i was actually cheering home Whitefriars I am having a great day just not here unbelieveable the rain changed my picks around so much hope Albert can get up in the last as I have an all uper going over onto him from Whitefriars would be a great end to the day.

Hmmm, should have waited a bit longer by the looks of it.

You can post tips any time up to 30 mins before the feature race.
