say no more got a reaction from Idolmite in Tulsa King - 7.5% Share available on Gavelhouse
Yeah i was trying to do the maths on that Pondy. My very crude calcs.
3yo gelding no residual value so needs to pay its way in earnings. Let's say for example that it races for two more years - 24 months at monthly contribution of $260 = $6,240. Add that to the $4,100 purchase price gives total outlay of $10,340.
To recoup that the horse would need to earn stakes (after trainer & jockey deductions) of around $138k over those two years. If trainer & jockey get 15% (just guessing) that means around $162k in stakes before deductions.
Has earned $72k in 10 starts to date.
Of course all of this places no value on the fun of racing a horse.

Round 6 - Sunshine Coast R8 - Final race
Congratulations to our round 6 winner Jayar who broke the $1k mark and didn't lose a single life. Well done also to Houlahan and Pete who rounded out the podium spots.
Ohokaman triumphs over Peter RS in the Knockout final as a result of lasting 3 more races.

Another grand competition.
I really liked that idea of 4th placings earning a point ! I had 4 of them today (when I missed a first three placing), and those solitary points kept me in the game. 😁
Congrats to Peter RS our champion and Basil Brush our runner-up. Top efforts you two.
Thank you very much John & Scooby, for such an enjoyable entertainment.

A huge thank you to the race cafe team for running the competition, and to everyone who took part.
I saw today as a banana skin round and lost my way after a good start, a nice relief to find out I had enough points overall.
Well done to all who got through 12 races today. Better than I could manage.
Bring on the next comp!

Carnage in that last race at Flemington. Peter RS is eliminated so Ohokaman wins the Knockout comp - congrats!
Basil Brush and Right First Time were the two entrants most likely to challenge Peter RS for the Points honours. Either of them need to finish 22 or 23 places above Peter RS. Basil may have a chance!?

Same knockout format as Round 2. Please read rules carefully and post two picks in each race.
1. Simply pick two horses in each of the 12 races listed below.
2. The aim is to have at least one of your two runners finish in the first 4, while at the same time earning as many dollars as possible.
You will have $10 each way on both runners and a $2 quinella with the two of them. You will earn $1 for a runner which finishes 4th, or for a runner which finishes 3rd in a no third dividend race.
You will have three "lives". In each race where you don't have a runner in the first 4 you will lose a life. The point at which you lose your 3rd life determines how well you place in this round.
3. You will have two best bet races where your dollars earned are doubled. They can be any two of the 12 races listed below.
4. Finishing order for this round will be determined firstly by the number of races that you survive without losing three lives. Where entrants lose their 3rd life in the same race, or where a number of entrants survive all 12 races, they will be split by dollars earned over all 12 races.
Posting deadline this week is 1.30pm
This weeks 12 races are as follows:
1. Sunshine Coast R1
2. Sunshine Coast R2
3. Sunshine Coast R3
4. Flemington R4
5. Sunshine Coast R4
