Thanks guys

Hey Sportz...seeing as there's no need for bonus points now...maybe that should be worth like $200 ??

Well Mav it all comes down to this

No fairytale for me ...well done Raw i'll get you next time..

Results so far:

Panther 140 v umrum 0 (umrum has one more tip - Perth 6-6 ew)
Sportz 124 def Svenvlad 0
Feather 152 def Breadman 140
Raw Instinct 210 def Maverick1993 48

Bad luck, to Breadman and Mav. Unfortunately, that's it for you guys now.

Feather and Raw Instinct now progress to Cup day, as do the losers of the first two matches. (the first 2 winners progress straight to Oaks day)

On Tuesday, Raw Instinct will be up against Svenvlad and Feather will be up against the loser of Panther v umrum.

Umrum's last bet was a placing, but that wasn't enough for him to beat Panther. (final score 140-43)

So that means on Tuesday, we'll have:

Semi Finals

Svenvlad v Raw Instinct
(winner to play Panther on Thursday)

Umrum v Feather
(winner to play Sportz on Thursday)

Again, the home tipster will have an extra tip.

Thanx sportz for a great comp. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be keeping an eye on the rest of the finals. Goodluck to everyone who is left. Hoping Feather can come through at least then i can say i was beaten in a quarter final by the winner Cheers Breadman
