Chestnut

The last I heard it was rated at Slow 8 and they said if the weather stayed fine they could see it upgrading to a Slow 7 or Dead 6... The weather has been good and a decent breeze has picked up so I wouldn't be surprised if the track has in fact improved from a Slow 8. The scratchings weren't updated until well after 8.15am this morning and I think it's all part of them being short staffed down there and closing down some of the options.

After Race : 3 (Te Rapa R5) 1st 3 Mr Knowitall $8.00 2nd 2 Airman Quinella 3/2 $10.90 For the Crusaders, only Talk picked up the winner Mr Knowitall and topped it off nicely with the Quinella which draws the Crusaders level with the Chiefs on 2-2. * BB already used 2 Crusaders 2 Chiefs $362.80 Crusaders $261.00 Chiefs $211.00 Richie* $ 50.00 Horseyboy $ 0.00 Group One Winner* $100.00 Louie_Cullen* $101.80 Talk* $ 0.00 Jack $0.00 Dogzstar1 $0.00 Chestnut $ 50.00 Mardy $111.00 Annie*

Not sure what Alvin Ng was doing on 4 Glitzabeel but it looked like he was heading to the outside fence for a pie half way down the straight..

After Race : 2 1st 5 Master Ip $11.10 2nd 3 Hydrogen Quinella 5/3 $96.90 For the Crusaders, Richie picks up two winners in a row selecting the Logan trained Master Ip.

You may post replacements for any scratching either with your original selection post or up until the start of the first race. Late scratchings will see your selection transferred to the TAB sub or if the TAB sub is your other selection then to the 2nd favourite by TAB win odds. If more than one horse meets the latter criteria then the replacement will be the horse with the higher number.

Yayyy... the racecafe crowd cheers!!!

All the best Tipsmit you too Reilly !.. a quinella would be a beaut outcome

Hiya PJ, happy to do Crusaders/Chiefs Cheers

I'm sorry to read that Jason, I thought that RB didn't sound quite himself yesterday and I hope that all works out okay for him. Agreed Tipsmit, I also thank him for running the comps over the past months, enjoyed them very much

Aww thanks sweet .. but just one week in amongst many! next week could very well be a disaster

I just came on to check too but so far it seems perhaps not Tipsmit.

Perhaps Nick added all their points on to me by mistake ??? she says hopefully ..

Nice way to start the comp Chiefs .. proud of yas Cheers Highlanders, the scores were never that far apart to be confident until the last race so that made for a beaut day and awesome selecting Rayzor! Te Rapa next week.. can't be bad....

Well done Tom, Ziggster and Rob .. great selecting over the three days chaps Cheers Jase, was really good to follow a meeting over all three days in a comp!
