Oh no Peter - I know it's a corporate box and I know you should never look a gift horse in the mouth, but dirty Arsenal - surely not?? Happy to score on Saturday, and should be able to update after most races, but can't guarantee prompt updates after every race, so more than happy to defer to Maria or one of the other finalists.

Chestnut 3,151 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 Hey there John, I'm happy for you to do it and I'll keep a score at the same time and then if you run away somewhere I can chip in with an update, how does that sound Fantastic opportunity PJ, and given that it's your fave team, you can't miss leaky leaky Arsenal in the flesh I'm a blues supporter but I've admired Arsene Wenger for a long time, and Arsenal's ability to hold on to a Manager more than my beloved Chelsea can do .. plus the chance to see Alexandre Lacazette is pretty special.

N1MUE 1,877 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 Thanks Maria - sounds like a good plan. Watch out for the horses that can swim on Saturday at Trentham. Track was Heavy11 this morning and the weather has been atrocious today (at least in the city and lower valley), and is expected to be worse tomorrow. Will be a hell of a slog and might be a case of first horse to the outside fence in the flat races. Chestnut 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut 3,151 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 Poor things - fastest walker might take it .. brings back memories of just trying to flatten out the mud at Trentham, tramping back between races, and more often than not leaving my gumboot behind trapped 9 inches deep in mud .. .

Good call PJ. If the Wairarapa is anything to go by, Wellington must be getting bashed big time. Terrible weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom earned nearly half of those dollars in one match. I know because he was playing me - tipped a $100 winner as his best bet.

I'll go with the Reds, on sheer consistency, but with Maria and Tom as wildcards for the GERS, if they fire, then the GERS will win.
