Thx for comp. Interesting concept. 

Just a simple little comp to keep things ticking over and to get us through winter racing, before we get into something more substantial in the spring.  This is just a bit of a filler - not a ranking points event.
Three big NZ jumps weekends coming up, with 4 jumps races on each day:
Saturday 17 June - Waikato 
Saturday 1 July - Hastings 
Saturday 15 July - Wellington
(we'll take a couple of Saturdays off in between)
On each day you will have $500 to invest on any or all of the 4 jumps races.   Bets will be win and/or place and we will use tote dividends.  No all-ups - just single bets.  Maximum of 5 bets, ie.  you can invest the full $500 on one horse or you can spread it across 2, 3, 4 or 5 different horses.  You can even take 5 horses in one race if you like.
Scratchings or abandoned races - you get your money back.   Most dollars earned over the three Saturdays combined wins the comp.
Even though I wont be entering as not a big jumps fan..I will put up a $50.00 W/P bet for the winner on a single horse...any winnings go to Huntingtons.

Too kind sir. Sadly I am all too beatable in the pick a winner comp. This is my second win over about 7 yrs of RC.....I will do my absolute Scooby to pick us a winner. Thanks again for the comps guys.

Cheers   John.Thanks for my very short day of competition !
Well done  H H Dream. You are bloody hard to beat in these comps. Go well.
 

Well done Houlahan...make your bet a good one as my 50% (Racecafes) will go to  the Huntingtons charity...should we win anything.

All in All a great effort by Winner but not his day lol ….as he disappears from the scoreboard 
 
well done Houlahan …congratulations

Interesting comp. I thought $2 was too short for a maiden on soft going, only other time lefty did not prosper. Having laid out my logic the thing will win now watch!

Race 5 - winner: #5 The Cossack
Nobody on the hurdler.  Not much change.  Houlahan on the short priced favourite in the next.

Thanks for the scoring JOHN !!
I had 3 bets in H Kong last night for 3 winners and continued that form here today !!
GONZO.
 
Jim becomes favourite, I feel to win !!

Thanks SNM and thanks for everyone keeping their tips coming in...good concept still don't have a clue how it works but all good as they say...thanks again everyone.

Does the Otago Daily Times still do the racing liftout.
It's easy to moan about the way we've moved away from print media but thats not their fault, it's just changing habits, same for radio, watching movies or listening to music but there is still a demand for each media avenue.
As for a racing news section here in a small way you already have one now, if it's news someone post it here, sometimes not always factual but you don't believe everything you here anyway.
And Scooby u talk about the laid off journalists I'm not sure there are many left anyway.

Totally! I really miss the large racing sections which used to provide news from various training centres, times from Te Aroha from Tuesday morning etc. I know that level of reporting is ever coming back but more than what we get in the mainstream papers would be welcome and much read. 

Every dog has their day Paks, my multis now look quite promising but 😎

Yeah, thx gruff. 
One bet barney all done.
