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.

TC needs Exalted Adam or his spectacular winning streak has ended.

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

Yes it was a 3 way tie, $81.00 was the divi paid out.

$81 or $27?

And elsewhere, the brilliant TC goes 13  from 13 ! Astonishing. 

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.

This has been one of the best ever PJ Super Comps, in my humble opinion, and I've been in most of them.

They keep getting better and better.

Leaves all other tipping comps in the shade.

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?

Winner will be decided by the most amount of placings,5 is the optimum then 4 etc

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).

 

[Please explain NZ Racing Board Grant]

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

[LEG 3 (Terminating) ***$500 Betting Voucher*** ENTRIES HERE!!]

What's your question Porky? The QEII market was with Winx out. 

Gailo Chop ran second but with Winx out is deemed the winner.  $20 win dividend is great money when he would have paid closer to $6 in a market with Winx out.  That's exactly why I suggested people pick the QEII as one of their races.

Congrats Catalano - nice to see a PJ regular win this comp.

seems to be falling on deaf ears anyway Mrzim.  I guess you still have to pick the runner-up and it's pretty even outside of the champ

Only in the event of Winx being beaten TC....and Waller/ Bowman sound very confident. Place divvies aren't going to be huge are they ?

No, even if she wins.

It should be a form guide that needs to have appeal to as wider an audience as possible. Have you ever wondered why the industry continues to diminish in relevance as the robots continue in their quest to make an industry all about betting? It doesn't work and the results of recent years is a clear indication of that. There has been a slow watering down of racing as a sport and an admirable pass time. This product called betting is just another version of cannon fodder. Who ever heard of a collectable? That's what a race book used to be. You raced your horse, saw your name in the book and kept it for posterity's sake. 

Isn't that the role of the on-course racebook?  I've always looked at that as the collectable - glossy paper, pictures, .... whereas the Best bets/Turf Digest was always the form guide - you scribbled on it, circled it - not really a collectors item.

[LEG 3 (Terminating) ***$500 Betting Voucher*** ENTRIES HERE!!]

a little tip for those who haven't picked yet - your expected return, and therefore your probability of winning this comp, is greater if you pick a horse in the Queen Elizabeth

Thanks Hesi - have certainly had my fair share of good luck.  Still waiting for that curse to kick in - perhaps next week.

All the best to you Howie - very tough opponent to come up against in trying to extend the winning streak.  

10 selections in common, 10 different.  Only one race where we have the same two picks (funnily enough one of the biggest fields).  NZ best bet race in common but I'm very keen on The Great Southern which you don't have, and different best bet in Oz - Alward is my big money bet for the day.  Couldn't decide between Brave Smash and In Her Time - love the latter but the second up factor swayed me away from her - may regret that decision. 

In fact may regret a number of decisions - left out Jake The Muss (no run for four weeks), left out Show The World (no run for four weeks and jockey concerns), ......

Had a chuckle on the other forum when the owner was praising one of the "comps" for drawing 40 entries last week - that comp has a $500 prize.  This comp gets 40 (sometimes 50) entrants week in week out and doesn't need prize  money to make it great - love your work Peter J!   What did the Pounder call it?  Dry? Boring?
