And you could take a $1.20 shot... It gets beat and you get 83.33 points, it wins and you lose 83.33 points... and take it as one of your JOKER pics if you dare.

Yeah it really was close. So much so that I decided to look back to see what difference the promotion of Kintyre would have made in the end. Idolmite finished up with $259 and I ended up with $226. Take away the $33 Idolmite got extra for that win and he ends up on... you guessed it.. $226.. So it could have ended up 2.5 points each so you cant get any closer than that. And Stoyd got an extra $66 (a BB). Take that away and he ends up on $246 so only $4 more than SNM on $242. But that's racing and congratulations again to Team Bonecrusher...

Gutted... initially thought mine had got up and that would have given us the win, but the photo finish told a different story... well done Bonecrusher, consistent throughout the comp

ouch...!!

Grand Final day but its really being spoiled with what's happening.. Ellerslie abandoned, a significant change in the weather and track at Randwick causing late scratchings... and a relegation that hurt us.

Ellerslie Abandoned...

Jockeys and Stewards doing a track inspection at Ellerslie....

That's going to make a huge turnaround in the Bonecrusher vs Veandercross match...

1. Ellerslie R6: 1, 9 2. Ellerslie R7: 5, 7 3. Randwick R2: 3, 11 4. Randwick R3: 1, 5 BB 5. Randwick R4: 7, 11 6. Randwick R5: 3, 4 7. Randwick R6: 6, 13 BB 8. Randwick R7: 3, 7 9. Randwick R8: 9, 12 10. Mornington R6: 8, 10 11. Mornington R8: 2, 10 12. Mornington R9: 8, 15 Another tough day.. but here's hoping. Thanks John and Good Luck to everyone still in the running..

I'm up against you Idolmite and when I saw you had posted something on the thread I was expecting to see your picks...but you were just tricking me.

More like he should have used the word JMac said after the Queen Elizabeth.... Embarrassing.

Official GPS data from Racing NSW showed Pride Of Jenni was 91m in front of Mr Brightside with 700m to go, which is the equivalent of 38 lengths.

2 amazing 2000 metre WFA horses to contest the Premiership final..

1. Randwick R2: 9, 11 2. Randwick R3: 4, 6 BB 3. Randwick R4: 3, 8 4. Randwick R5: 2, 8 5. Randwick R7: 6, 15 6. Randwick R8: 2, 8 7. Randwick R9: 6, 14 8. Morphettville R4: 2, 5 9. Morphettville R5: 10, 11 10. Morphettville R6: 2, 3 11. Morphettville R7: 6, 7 12. Morphettville R8: 2, 14 BB Tough again today so no single bets for me.. Had a look back to see how Veandercross went against McGinty in the round-robin. we were pretty well trailing them the whole way 3-2 and a couple of hundred $$ behind in the aggregrate, but then I got a BB quinella in the last race for over $1k collect and we won it 5-1.... would be nice to do that again today but not too hopeful, but in saying that I have saved a BB for the last race at Morphettville and have included one of the same horses from that big collect. Up against Pogo today so he's likely to pull out a big roughie somewhere...again. Good luck to everyone still alive in the comp and thanks John and Leigh...

Bit worried about the races at Woodville today.. I understand they don't have any irrigation there and the track is currently shown as a Good 4. But if they're now getting the rain/drizzle that has started here in the Hawkes Bay then you have to wonder whether they end up with a slippery surface and the the dreaded A word..

Xcellent too...

oh okay, didn't realise that Pete. Definitely makes sense now you've mentioned it. Thanks for that.

.

Interesting that there's 7 races at Ellerslie on Wednesday... 5 Maiden races, a R60 and a R65. So are they making these lesser horses (if you know what I mean) "crash test dummies" to give the track more racing and bed it in further.??

Veandercross vs Horlicks 3-2 Melody Belle vs Avantage 1-4 Rough Habit vs Mr Tiz 2-3 Imperatriz vs Showgate 2-3 No reasoning at all behind my picks...

1. Trentham R7: 1, 9 2. Randwick R2: 2, 13 3. Randwick R3: 10, 18 4. Randwick R4: 13, 18 BB 5. Randwick R5: 6, 10 6. Randwick R6: 1 7. Randwick R7: 5, 6 8. Randwick R8: 3, 13 BB 9. Randwick R9: 1, 7 10. Caulfield R4: 1, 3 11. Caulfield R8: 5, 10 12. Caulfield R9: 3 Tough today, so many chances for roughies to turn up at Randwick... just hope I can get a couple of them and help Veandercross make it to the next round. Thanks John and Scooby

Yeah do it... but just on this side of the fence, don't go jumping the fence and join in the race.!!!

Don't like the look of the example you used in the Veandercross vs Horlicks match.... but hey no pressure Horlicks.!!

Sorry just to clarify further... If you watch TV on a TV that is NOT connected to Sky, it means you're probably watching via Digital Satellite TV. So all you do is go the Channel 23 and 24 and there is it, there is no need to tune anything in at all.. it is free to view. Don't go into your Smart TV (if you have one) and then go to the Freeview app (its not there).

UPDATE: Just did some checking... there isn't the 30 second delay as against Chromecasting..
