Cheers guys - I certainly had a lot of luck along the way. Looks like Hesi was right all along about the curse of the 1st draft pick - just struck in a slightly different way.

I don't think it will help if I win my match Good luck to all of the finalists next week.

so you took her at $243 and they paid out one third of that? if you took her at $81 then you would have been paid $27

$81 or $27?

Thanks Howie. You were right in your predictions about Geoff - both best bets won and one of those was a quinella. I was just lucky to nab a few winners in between (and lucky the rain came for Megablast). 13 from 13 doesn't count for much however if you don't make the play-offs.

Absolutely Howie! I look forward to Saturday mornings because of this comp (and not having to go to work of course). What did Molloy call this comp? Dry? Boring?

you can lead a horse to water ......

Does "most amount of placings" include horses that run first, or just those that run 2nd or 3rd? I'm assuming it includes those that run first, in which case double dividends for 2nd & 3rd ("place is best") is only a secondary consideration (to split ties).

Perhaps it's a grant from gaming machine proceeds? Are they required to put some of it back in to the community?
