Comp Rules:

$50 worth of bets each week. Win bets only, but you can back more than 1 horse per race. You can either have five $10 races, or three $10 races and one $20 race. Money from scratchings to be carried over and bet the following week. Unitab dividends used for results. Everyone is allowed to miss one week of the comp without incurring a penalty. After that you lose $50 for every raceday you miss. There will be a feature race each week that everyone must tip in.

I know it's 'Derby Day', but perhaps we should make this week's feature race the Salinger Stks. What do you think?

EDIT: This week's feature race is definitely THE VRC DERBY.

Have to tip early this week, don't have race numbers but will name the race.
Salinger - Taikun $10
Loreal Paris - Fastnet Rock $10
Derby - Plastered $20
Saab - Rizon $10

Good luck to all

Derby or Salinger?
Why not try the second heat of the 2yr old maiden at Mornington.

Plaster my vote down for the DERBY!

Okay, yeah I guess you're right Mo.

The Derby is certainly the biggest race, so THE DERBY it is for the comp this week.

[ This Message was edited by: sportznut on 2004-10-29 10:48 ]

Are we having a seperate tipping comp for Melb Cup with the 5 picks and $50?

I need to know now as I am going away with friends who are not just non-race goers but anti-racing altogether (what you do for love). I'll have to place my picks today or tomorrow.

Okay, yes we are. I'll start up another thread for you.

Cheers SportzNut!

Mr4. 11 Umaquest $10

Mr8. 7 St Basil $10

Ar6. 11 Tarcoola Midnight $10
Ar2. 4 Tarcoola Mist $10

Derby. 8 King Durham, 10 Soi Cowboy $5 each

Had $10 leftover from Rear Admiral scratching last week (was worth the wait :smile: )

I think the Mackinnon or the Salinger are better punting races than the Derby Sportznut. But it is Derby Day so you have to go with it.

Yeah, that's the way to go. After all, it is worth 3 times as much as those races.

Here are my selections:

MR1 No.10 Kistadan $10 - DNP
MR6 No.3 Ceder Manor $10 Victoria Derby - DNP
MR8 No.4 Recapitalise $5 - DNP
MR8 No.5 Lilando $5 - 4th

BR6 No.5 Carlita Miss $10 - 1st $32
BR7 No.7 With My $10 - 4th

Sky Cuddle a good roughie in the Yallamba MR9

i am confused...aw we having tips for tomorrow-tues-thur-next sat for this tipping comp or what

Shaun,

What's so confusing? Only tips for tomorrow's races on THIS thread, but we will be having tips on Tuesday, Thursday and the following two Saturdays as well. We'll finish the comp on Sandown Classic day.

I've already started a thread for Melbourne Cup day for people like Seeker11 who want to put tips in early. Because Oaks day isn't a holiday and some people may be too busy, I don't think we should penalize anyone for not tipping on that day.

Sportz,don't want to be a pain,but think my total should be 252.50.
Takeover Target $10=$63
Grand Armee $10=$27
Out $50
In $90
Last week my tally was $212.50
should now be $252.50,not $242.50.

Some information for purpleheart.
Looked to me like your out was actually $65 rather than $50

And I know that you can't win it if you're not in it,but since I declared Plastered on this thread,I am pretending that I had $20 on it.
Could someone post the Unitab win dividend for Plastered please?
