'if you want to, I think you can put your tips in for the races that are still to run'.

Rule 9. Closing time for alterations is by official starting time of first tips race.

You can put tips in only up to your first tips starting time. Meaning, ALL your tips [ and any alterations to later tips ] must be in by the 'official' start time of your first tip [ to rule out an early tip being altered during a change to a later tip ].

This comp. like the last one, uses an honor system. The rules are designed to avoid major temptation only. Any obvious deliberate cheating will probably be spotted by someone somewhere.

The honor system applies to doing your own calculations of your banks weekly profit/loss standing and checking of Uni-tab prices for your winners as there is no hired help here. If you are wrong, someone will probably point it out.

Results should be edited into your tips post or added to this thread, so there is some record of your progress somewhere [you'll probably need to refer to it next week to work out where you are ].

A recorded time of editing results will show on the bottom of the page [which won't affect the time at top of page that notes the time you put in your tips ] and should be done after all races have run, not race by race [ for obvious reasons ].

Chuck,

The time you put in your tips was at 15.43 which by the rules would disqualify all your tips, as your first race, Caulfield R/6 started at 15.30 !!

However, as you noted this and as it is the first week, I vote your tips be allowed from R7 [ a win ] unless there is an objection [?]. Race 6 counts as a $10 loss [ credits are only for late scratchings of tips and not for unspent amounts from weekly $50 ].

The forum clock seems to be 8 min. out. So next week we will all allow for that. I vote that Sportz's 6min. late bet stands for this week [?].

My standing would have been $0 profit/loss, but as I changed my first bet R1 Melb. to a long shot [what the hell], I stand at $26 loss.

What a blue blood !! Did anyone take Alinghi for the big Diamond/Golden Slipper double ?
After his outstanding effort in the Diamond [ heart in mouth stuff yesterday for the big punters ] and the fact Freedman has already won 4 Slippers, what price Alinghi now in the Slipper ? The double was last achieved about 15 yrs. ago but I can't remember the horse [?].

*note: A new thread will be started for next Sat.28.02.04 on the Friday, or earlier if time obligations make it necessary . The thread can be put up by anyone.

Cheers.
