The funny thing is Sportz I haven't been going badly myself haven't lost since Stradbroke day and before that it was a month or 2 before that just seems every time I tip something on this website it falls in a heap. I have done exceptionally well off of Hillston Exchange backing it for a place it's last few runs at Flemington and it always runs a place at around $5 for the place it is ridiculos. On the weekend my best 2 bets were Iceland who I tipped in the tipping comp and Bella Arena who I kept to myself trying not jinx it both got up and really had a good day because of that would have been great if Maloose had of gotten up in the last at Flemo worst part is i looked at Diamond Masque the night before and disregarded it on Saturday just thinking that I really liked Maloose.

sportz,

I will be away from the computer during the vrc carnival as planning on going to derby day and melb cup so if you want i can be 1st or 2nd emergency.

cheers mate
umrum

Are you absolutely certain you wouldn't be able to tip during the Cup carnival? You could get your tips in for Derby day nice and early before you go, then you have three days between Derby day and Cup day to find some way of posting your tips.

yeah your probably right I could find a way.
Count me in then if there is room.

thanks mate
umrum

Sportz,

At this stage I will sit out .. unless you have an odd number of people and need one more to make the numbers.

Good Luck.

Okay, the list at the moment is:

ijuandaQLD
Chuck
crash
maverick1993
leroy
Horse Whisperer
breadman
Panther
rabbitz
Real Deal
Stix
Raw Instinct
Sportz
Jim Curran
umrum

That's 15 people. At this stage, I want 16 tipsters, so ideally, I'd really like to find just one more tipster. Perhaps Goldcoaster???

If nobody else wants to have a go, I'll let wesmip1 have the last spot.

I'd like to get the list of tipsters sorted out pretty soon, so I can organise the competition. At this stage, I think the first week of the comp may be July 29.

Sportz,
I'd love to have a go but i will be on holidays last two weekends in August and won't be able to get my tips in. But if you get stuck & need me i will go in it.
Thanks

Sure enough.

I just realised that Svenvlad isn't on the list, and it would be good to have him in the comp. Are you around, Sven?

Looks a class field lining up for this quality stayers event...Umrum is coming off a solid win in the teams tipping challenge....though crash and stix came home late and should appreciate the distance rise.....ijuandaQLD is another coming into this with a 1 against his name - winner of the recent Group Tipping comp which shows he is no mug when it comes to long distance performance....panther is venturing to the racing side of things following outstanding performances in the sports punting comp, wonder how the change of racing direction will affect him...another making a rare venture over is none other than the wily rabbitz, though it appears he only has one motive, albeit a long way out of range - maybe hes just needing a solid track workout before the 2nds comp?....jim curran and raw instinct were unusually disappointing in the teams tipping challenge and will be out to seek redemption...the consistent sportz has being doing an andrew johns lately just picking and choosing the events he will go in, the officials are letting it slide as the lack of match practise may get to him....also the man of the moment Chuck will be looking to win his 2nd Spring Tipping comp, after a demolition the record 46 strong field of contenders back in 2004......and of course there is the Maverick, one who will be looking to reproduce his form in the brisbane racing threads into here....and thats about it for the field wrap up sorry to those that didn't get look in

Hey Sportz,

I wasn't sure if i would be able to get tips in every week as i'm finding i have less and less free time on my hands, but if you need an extra tipster i'll be glad to give it a go,

Thanks

Sven
