yea i know problem was i really wanted Cedarberg and Count your fingers was literally just an i can't pick anything else

how did you manage to get Whitefriars?
 

Did you follow J Cassidy?

no mate just happened that way today to be honest.

Albert was a good run bit wet for him today

what happens now sportz geez we went well :)

What happened today???

Seriously, the less said about today's tips, the better! Look at all the duck eggs! :eek:

Qualifying finals

Pedro 48
Maverick1993 0

Raw Instinct 0
nags2riches 0

Elimination finals

Sirpent 91
aidleo 0

luv2bet 0
Goldcoaster 0

I was really fearing something like this would happen. I'm afraid I didn't set out any rules for such a situation and I should have after something similar nearly happened last year. :o

Anyway, here's what I'm going to do. If they can have a replay in the AFL and finish a week later, heck, so can we. So, in those matchups that ended up 0-0, I'm going to let you guys come back on Melbourne Cup day and have another go at sorting it out. And PLEASE make sure you DO sort it out!

So, that means the other finals will all be pushed back, so that the grand final now won't be on next Saturday. It'll be on the following Saturday, November 13 (hopefully ;) ).

When it comes to the results of the other matchups, Pedro goes right through to the prelim finals which will be on next Saturday. Meanwhile, Mav gets to fight another day in the semi finals which will be on Thursday and Sirpent will also tip again next on Thursday. Unfortunately aidleo is knocked out. Sorry mate.

So here we go.....

Tuesday:

Qualifying final
Raw Instinct v nags2riches

Elimination final
luv2bet v Goldcoaster

Same as today. The tipster mentioned second gets one less tip. And of course the feature race of the day will be the Cup.

Awful day , and i was confident in brissie . lost a stack :( only shining light is a little ticket i have on Maluckyday at a zillion to one ,
dont even have any doubles alive.
the Fat ran well today , thought Shocking was flat and with the weight a risk on Tuesday.
Maluckyday a big show in the big one if Hawkes decides definitely to run.

I had one of my biggest days ever i know i didn't put them in my tips but Lion Tamer, Sacred Choice, Star Witness, Whitefriars, Age of Heroes and last of all but certainly not least Ashma's Gold in brissie (the last one i $30 to win on IAS before i went down to collect at the TAB and put $20 on my TAB account because i just wanted to get them all back to even ammounts the decided i would through an extra $20 e/w on at the TAB when i got there guess this happens where your having a great day)

Hi Raw Instinct it's The Schmile here,

I had a massive grin on my face when Star Witness strode in virtually untouched as I knew you would have smashed it!! Thanks for the tip, I blackbooked it when you liked it for the Blue Diamond and the only question now is far will it get?? 1600-2000m.

Couldn't pick my nose the rest of the card at Flemington, I backed whitefriars last start when it wins running a TRACK RECORD and don't back it next start at $18. We punters are a funny lot! I was booking myself into the lunatic asylum until I managed to snag Phenomenal Lass at Rosehill. Couldn't believe the $23.80 on Betfair. That deserved a SHAZAAM.

If anyone else is going to the cup, I'll be the 6 foot 5 guy with curly hair and clockwork orange hat. Come and have a beer and we can talk crap about racing, the best game in the world.

I'm SMASHING So You Think. I don't care what anyone says. I want him to be the next Phar Lap.

Last word goes to the stunning brunette in the white lace dress, 6 inch stiletto's and carefully perched champagne glass, who virtually took my breath away at Flemington. This vision of splendour is imprinted on my soul forever...............

love your work man wish i was down in melbourne this week but alas Metallica won out and i am down there in 2 weeks time shame they could schedule it close together would have been amazing week for me.

Glad you were on Star Witness if he ever settles properly in a race he could be anything stick with in straight racing he will love it.

Giddyup!!

"Say your prayers little one, Don't forget my son, To include everyone........"

I'll start the ball rolling!

You wouldn't think this was the finals. We're all tipping like crap.

I know. What's going on???

Elimination final

Well, what happened? Seriously, guys. This isn't good. :o

I don't like doing this, but I'm going to have to use a tiebreaker this time and nags2riches gets the win based only on the fact that he had one less tip on both occasions.

But Raw Instinct is still alive in the comp.

Ahhh, now, today is more like it! Well done luv2bet with King Cobweb.

Where's Sirpent ?

well done Luv2 with the greys race , seeing your selection i had a nice e/w on him . been my best result all week :)

Dam that Shamrocker for 2nd..looked like a donkey last start ..

hows the next race at Warny ,,bit of joke really :)

Unfortunately, it looks like he's missed out. :o

as homer says "Default , Default , Default"

the way i'm going its the only way i'd beat him..

Well, Mav's still got one race left, but that's obviously not going to affect the result of that matchup.

I was so close to pulling dead end out of my tips this morning and having 2 from the same race in being Zingaling and Status Symbol had the message typed and stopped.

Congrats to luv2bet and good luck to all still in the comp and also big thanks to sportz for running the comp

unlucky raw, great pick all the same though, hope you won a motza!!
Glad you backed the cobweb Mav, was pretty keen today. Thought the speed in the race would suit nicely.
Had a belter of a day today for limited number of bets. Curtana, the cobweb, temple of boom and the tri for 2 units in race 5...
lookin forward to saturday!

Yea had a real good day thanks mate only because of it but lets face it at $50.70 for the win on IAS you don't need to have much on to have a real good one. Take away cup day and it has been an amazing flemington carnival for me after saturday I'll be taking a well earned break from the punt for the rest of the year I would say hopefully I can jag a couple more staurday.

once again good luck guys it has been fun as always

Have to put in the tips early , as i'm not sure of i'll get to a computer tomorrow.
