Has anybody got a placing today? I've been thinking that perhaps I should change that rule.

With this comp we are after all trying to pick future winners, not future placegetters, so does anyone have any complaints with cancelling out all the each way bets today and making them all win bets instead??? I've noticed that there's been quite a few each way bets today which have won, so I think those people would be agreeable.

What does everyone think?

lol ofcourse I am up for it but don't take what I said the wrong way though I was only mucking around.

i'll always be going win so sounds good here.

Yes, I think that's what we'll do. It will make things much simpler.

All group A horses are $20 Win and all Group B horses are $10 Win.

Not that it worries me, but is that retrospective Sportz, or from here on in?

Retrospective Mr Ed. I've worked out today's results and it didn't really hurt anyone. In fact it helped most.

Still one race in Perth to go, but I can tell you that you are in front overall, while Chuck is in front on a P.O.T basis.

Well done guys on the first week. Some great winners tipped and every single person got at least one winner. Overall, all 11 people's bets added together produced a profit of $270 or 28.1%. Not bad. Could have been even more if some of us had done a bit better though.

it would have been $122 more in the bank if Zingham hadn't firmed from $11 into $4.80 !!!

he was a certainty in my book after his last run...missing the start and screaming home...

it was a bit risky only having 3 horses running today...especially seeeing Gallic breakdown (or near to it), but i guess it payed off...i just hope none of mine aren't going into spells!!!

Thanks Sportz, well done to all.If I could have included Calveen it would have been a better result.

However i backed both in NZ and also collected on the Calveen trifecta.

Yeah, sorry about that, but I thought I'd better draw the line somewhere for this first attempt at our comp. So I decided to keep it to Aust metro races on Saturdays and Public holidays. I assume Calveen will be heading to Adelaide or Brisbane???
