The Crucible

Lay of the Day - One Day special - QB Monday (5 June) - Ellerslie

Recommended Posts

Not much doing tomorrow so let's have a one day LOTD special for those who are able to participate.  

POST YOUR ENTRY ON THIS THREAD

Same basic rules and scoring as other LOTD comp that is nearing completion, with the following variations:

- you are required to pick a (losing) runner in all 9 races at Ellerslie

- first winner you lose 40 points, second winner you are out

- you can choose one runner as your Joker play - double points but double penalty (ie. -80 points and two lives).  You don't have to use Joker if you don't wish.

- if your horse runs last you will get double points.  If your joker play runs last you will get four times (2x2).  This double points for last only applies where all horses finish the race. Horses falling or pulled up in a race will mean no double points awarded for last in that race   

- picking a regular scratching is the same as picking a winner so check scratchings first or post subs if you have to post before scratchings come out.

If we get 10 or more entries the winner will get a $20 bet on Houston Astros to win MLB's American League - will be a long wait but these guys are fun to follow.

It hasn't been great Geoff, I was hoping to get out on the bike or mow the lawns today, looks like neither at this stage.

Gee Gordy I would be happy to be able to get down the 2 flights of stairs to the TV!

I commented on Racecafe a few months ago that NZ's worst tipster (yes Dillo is better :) ) would be Craig Baker (Executive General  Manager) of the ARC.
So when I saw this on Friday, it was too good to turn down and broke the tiebreaker between Dances in Heels and Break My Stride for my Lay of the Day.
I didn't remember this until a few minutes ago. Damn, should have included Istimagic in my picks for today!

Steelmasters Cornwall Handicap (R6, 2.54pm, $40,000, 2200m, OPN HCP)
Doiknowyou (7) looks well placed to improve his already enviable record at Ellerslie in the Steelmasters Cornwall Handicap on Saturday.
The son of Kashani has won three from eight starts at Ellerslie and importantly, has won three times on heavy tracks.
The dangers include the Ralph Manning-trained warhorse Pump Up The Volume (1) and course specialist, Reka (3).


Best Bet:
R4 @ 1.44pm - Break My Stride (4)

As a service to punters on Racecafe, here are his gems for today. Remember of course that a clock is right twice a day and he must break his duck some day month year.

Whitecliffs Timber McGregor Grant Steeplechase (R7, 3.15pm, $50,000, 4150m, OPN STP)
The dangers include last start winner Wise Men Say (3) and the John Wheeler-trained Fair Script (6).
He looks well placed at 4150 metres.
Crash Bandicoot (2) looks the hardest to beat.  He ran third in the Pakuranga Hunt Cup and found the distance of the Meadow Fresh Great Northern Steeplechase beyond him. 
While there are only eight runners this year, the field is full of classy steeplechasers.

Best Bet:
R3 @ 12.50pm - Istimagic (7)

Race 3:

Geoff with a nice joker play on the beaten favourite to claw his way into the black, but Steve P continues to lead.  Yours truly with a second winner in a row and now eliminated - geez I suck at this game - I think its time to invent a new competition.  VS on the other hand is right in his element :)

John (J) 97.62
VS 76.71
Geoff (J)(1) 55.23
Mike28 42.45

Hesi (1) 36.81
Richard (1) -1.73
