RACE OF THE DAY COMP
 

Okay, I thought it was time to start up a new feature race tipping comp, now that the Autumn carnival is just about here.

Each major race day, I'll nominate one or perhaps two feature races and you have to list your first 4 selections in order. We'll all get scores out of 100 based on how well our tips go, much like the Ratings comp last year. Obviously, if you can pick them in the correct order 1-2-3-4, then you get the perfect score of 100, and if none of your four comes close, you get zero.

So, if you want to have a go, simply list your first 4 selections in order (plus maybe 2 reserves in case of scratchings).

The first race in the comp is the Chester Manifold at Flemington tomorrow:

What the...?

We may as well just call today a practice run!!!

I think you had the right idea here!!! :D

Anyway, for what it's worth, here are our very ordinary scores after week 1. Don't think you should start celebrating yet, davez and Imagele. :D

15 davez
15 Imagele
10 Raw Instinct
10 Testarossa
5 Chuck
5 crash
5 Goldcoaster
5 Heavyweight
5 Horse Whisperer
5 kiwi
5 Leroy
5 luv2bet
5 Real Deal
5 Sportz
5 xptdriver
5 wesmip1

5th!

Sportz, just outta a matter of interest how do you actually work out the points???

Okay, here's the points system. It might look complicated, but it's not really. It rewards people for correctly tipping the winner (which none of us did yesterday) and also finding the placegetters in their top 4 picks. Anyone who successfully tips the horses 1-2-3-4 gets 100 points, and the scores get progressively lower from there.

50 points - Winner tipped 1st
40 points - Winner tipped 2nd
35 points - Winner tipped 3rd
30 points - Winner tipped 4th

15 points - 2nd horse tipped in top 4
10 points - 3rd horse tipped in top 4
5 points - 4th horse tipped in top 4

10 points - First4 tipped in correct order
7.5 points - First4 tipped in wrong order

7.5 points - Trifecta tipped in correct order
5 points - Trifecta tipped in top 3
2.5 points - Trifecta tipped in top 4

2.5 points - Quinella tipped in top 2

so i should keep the champers on ice for a while yet sportz? :)

btw the winner was a standout ppm selection so i was on her but to be honest i wasnt holding out much hope.

A few mates have a long running syndicate which involves $50 being bet each week. The guy who's turn this week put on a box 4 for the trifecta and even had 4th. I laughed at him in the morning when he told me what he had picked, thought he was crazy....... I guess he had the last laugh!!!!

He sure did!!!

This week's race is of course the Lightning Stakes at Flemington.
