No one picked the final winner. Pete with 4 winners was the Auks MVP while Hesi, also with 4 winners was Man of the Match. It wasn't a scintillating final with both teams not going too wide but it was nevertheless absorbing. Congrats to all for making it this far with a special shout to the well-managed and resilient Hurricanes. Thanks to all for their participation and the kind words in the final entry thread. It's much appreciated. I'm not sure what Sharne's horse was trying to do rear ending one of the Blues' hopes halfway up the straight - giving it a push perhaps !

Moose also nabbed the final winner just to rub it in ! Heather was the Ferdies MVP on a day when they picked just 9 winners between them and were rewarded with the Wooden Spoon which has major implications when your team has suffered a downtrou !

The Crucible 632 Report post Posted November 18, 2017 Fair to say the Canes were pretty pleased to see Invincibella four wide the whole way. Thanks to the Blues for a great match - went right down to the wire and I truly thought you had us heading into the last race. Always a pleasure to play against you guys - you add a lot of colour to these comps. Thanks to my Canes team-mates. Cubes thanks for stepping up part way through the season - much appreciated. Porky, great addition to our team and clearly the winner of the "rookie-of-the-season" award. Hesi and John - both unbeaten in the three knockout rounds - brilliant. John, that's three Super Comps in a row now - maybe time to retire!?

Right first time 1,923 Report post Posted November 18, 2017 Heartiest congratulations to our friends and rivals the Hurricanes - TC, John, Hesi, Porky, Cubes. Absolutely worthy champions ....again ! Brilliant. Thanks to my Mighty Blues Brothers Pete, Gordy, Brian and Geoff. You guys have been great, and very well led by debut captain Pete. Top effort Blues to come from 8th and last qualifying spot, to finish the closest of seconds. It wasn't our greatest day of tipping today, but when Kidmenever had it's nose in front a stride from the post in the penultimate race we had the winning of the match. Coulda, woulda, shoulda ....ultimately we came up short. But what fun it has all been. Biggest thanks of all to PJ ...thanks for your wonderful comps and all the pleasure they have given to all of us. You're truly a legend, PJ.

Kundalini 640 Report post Posted November 19, 2017 Having just scored a poultice from Porcelain Princess at Waverley, it reminded me of my literal suicide attempt yesterday when I jumped into the big white telephone and Hesi came along and pulled the chain. CONGRATULATIONS HURRICANES One blardy day it will be the Mighty Blues. As a punter that plonks any bets on the nose it was so traumatic to get so many seconds and thirds to miss out on the most important podium in race tipping. A Gold Medal was to be my swansong, but a new drawing board is my lot....Thanks for Everything Howie, Geoff, Gordy and Captain Mighty Pete. I told ya...."Cowboys DO Cry.
