Final Race - Mornington Race 7
Winner:  Not An Option 12points
2nd:  Superium  2 points
3rd:  Chassis 2 points
La Mexicana was a late scratching and the subs were 5 then 9.    Unusual to have 11 on the $32 winner but it is an ex Kiwi so that might explain it.    
Liz (Insider) was one of those on the winner and she leads from go to whoa to take out today's comp - congratulations Liz. 
Liz kindly sponsored an earlier comp and also donated a bet that has helped the Soup Kitchen charity, so I'm pretty happy about the result today!
Rooster Cogburn with a nice best bet on the winner to jump into second place.  Tasman Man also on the ex Kiwi and he rounds out the top 3.
Thanks all for entering - shame about the abandonment

This is a day 2 of a 2 day comp - if you didn't enter last week you are still welcome to join - you'll just be giving everyone else a headstart - some more than others   Not impossible however if you strike a nice quinella or trifecta.
Prizes - see last week's entry thread.
Day 2 format -  please note a change in format this week - you have to pick three horses in each race.
Pick three horses in each race and nominate 2 races as best bet races.  You'll get $10 each way on all three horses plus a $2 boxed quinella plus a $1 boxed trifecta.  Doubled for your two nominated best bet races.
Scratching rule - same principle as previous weeks - scratchings replaced with TAB sub, then second favourite, then third favourite.  If you post early, it would be much appreciated if you could check in on Saturday morning and replace any scratchings (in a new post) - makes the job a bit easier if you replace scratchings ahead of time rather than me having to figure out subs.
Races for Day 2 are as listed below - posting deadline is 1.50pm - 18 minutes before the first of these 12 races
Ellerslie - Race 4
Ellerslie - Race 6
Ellerslie - Race 8

Three picks - please post races in this order, post your picks in numerical order and don't forget 2 best races.
One entry per member - if you post more than one set of picks I'll take the first set posted as your picks.

This is a 2 day comp, run over the next two Saturdays, with the overall winner(s) decided by combined Day 1 + Day 2 score.
Prizes:  Scooby has kindly put up $500 worth of bets (win and/or place) and that will be split as follows:
- $150 to the Day 1 winner 
- $200 to the overall (Day 1 + Day 2) winner
- $100 to the overall runner-up
- $50 to the overall 3rd place-getter
Again, you keep half of any collect and half is returned to the prize fund for future comps.
Day 1 rules - same as last week.  Pick two horses in each race and nominate 2 races as best bet races.  $10 each way on both horses plus $2 quinella.  Check out last week's entry thread if you want to know more.
Day 2 will involve three picks and add a boxed trifecta into the mix to give people an opportunity to catch-up if they have a bad day 1
Races for Day 1 are as listed below - outstanding day of racing with (I think) 16 Group races across NZ, Caulfield and Randwick.  To keep it manageable for you (and me) I've limited it to the Group 1s and Group 2s - 13 races in total.
Posting deadline is 3.20pm - 15 minutes before the first of these 13 races
