Thanks Sportz,

I'm now sitting midfield in the rankings, locked away on the fence, but bullocking my way out looking for a run. I fear it may be another hard luck story.

Well done Sportz and Duritz on efforts today!!!

Duritz,Sportz,Heavyweight and Quickfunbet makes 4.

And I'm not playing no more.

And Congratulations in order to Duritz for putting the bottle away and coming up with all the right answers.

Yeah good day on punt. Betted in five races, backed four winners, including Noble Red of course and Charnwood Green. Hey mooee I wasn't claiming party pie and mr magoo as value winners in my top five, i was claiming both trifectas in my top five, which I did have. After missing the kick in this comp (thanks to the graveyard Caulfield) I have made up some ground. Is there anything left in the tank?

Duritz

PS Cool Trent was scratched because he was preparing for the Australia Cup instead.......... j/k Disappointing though to make a huge call like that and not know if right or wrong.

Chrome, if your sitting midfield, I am sitting just off the pace, just waiting for a run (ie: a race that I actually want). I am a stayer so the further the race goes the better I'll be. Well done to those Noble Red tipsters, this horse has more wins in store.


Good Punting

Yeah, I forgot to add Heavyweight to the page of scribble I was looking at when I posted that.

Don't worry. I don't look at that page when working out the results.

Is that a word?

Anyway, yeah, this comp is actually helping me greatly in sorting out the races I concentrate on.

Interesting that nobody has scored zero points for any race yet. To get 0 points, it means that none of your top 5 rated horses finish in the top 5 placings in the race. Wonder who'll be the first!
