Week 1 results
 

Eight entrants picked a winner including Sarah who played her joker and is therefore eliminated.  Crusty and Cam out to an early lead with Pomelo ($2.20) beaten at Randwick.  Sydney Cup and last three at Caulfield abandoned so four entranta with a non runner (zero points).  Brian you didn't use your joker so can use it another day if you choose.

Last time i led anything was many years ago when i led the race out of the church so i didn't have to get married.

Sadly,like  what will happen in this competition, i surrendered my advantage and was dragged back in to sign on the dotted line.

I've been losing ever since.

If it wasn't for bad luck,i'd have no luck at all so i will enjoy my fleeting moment in the sun.

Nice work Crusty - best start by a rookie that I can remember :)  Don't listen to Hesi - keep picking those $2.20 shots - there's a 60% chance they'll get beaten.

Crusty's flying start stalled a bit today with his first winner - ironically the longest priced runner he has picked yet.  Crusty still leads but only has one life left and has had his lead cut to 13.74 points by Bryn.  Several entrants within 8 points of each other in the battle for third place.

A number eliminated today: Howie, Swoopa, Gordy (good to see him picking winners), Sir G, Cam, Rob and Peter RS.  Thanks for taking part.

Ray the only entrant eliminated today but four others lost their first life, including Bryn who was in second place going into this round.

Crusty still in front but Mardy and Steve P (what would I know) lurking not far behind and with jokers in hand.  Casper the big mover with a joker play on the short-priced Lala Land - Lala Land was always going to run second after what happened at the Oscars.

Just to confirm the prizes for this comp.    I'm putting up $50 and Hesi is putting in $100 from previous comps.

Winner of the comp gets a $100 multi (or two $50 multis if they prefer to spread the risk).  I'll pick one horse and winner picks one horse (or two).  Winner will get half of any money collected, I'll take 25% and 25% will go back in to Hesi's pool.

2nd & 3rd placegetters will share a $50 multi - each pick one horse and split any collect 50:50.

Week 8 results:

Quite an eventful week.  Crusty was "jogging in front under a hold" but unfortunately fell at the third last hurdle and has been eliminated.

That leaves Graeme, who has flown up the standings over the past two weeks, at the top of the table, but by the slenderest of margins.  Top 4 separated by only 19 points and Steve P sitting in prime position with a joker up his sleeve.

Two weeks to go and it should go down to the wire!

Had a bit of an issue with the sort function on my spreadsheet just now (bit excited by Order Again's narrow victory) - I think I've got it right but can you just do a quick check that your cumulative score from last week and this week's points add to your new cumulative total - cheers.

As usual wth any competition i enter,my other half reviews my performance and this time she says that their is a direct link with the competition results and how i perorm in the breeding barn.

1...looks magnificent in mounting yard

2..works enthusiastically in preliminary(if not a bit over eager)

3..A bit fractious in gate.

4..Jumps impressively and gets into work quickly.

5..Slight stumble at half way mark

6..recovers quickly and attacks work with vigour

7 Finishing post in sight,explodes like a North Korean missile and drifts out,pulling up limp(i think she mean't lame)

8 spelling paddock recommended will mean a new rider next up.

Thanks TC

I will be looking for a $1.10 fav and hope the top four pick winners.

It was good to see everyone pick a loser yesterday, that must be a first? but then again with New Zealand's biggest city putting on a procession of 5-7 horse fields, with a track that had them heading out wide at race 1, it was a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. :)
