Karaka Million 2025 (2yo) - long range competition

[say no more 2,765]

Liz has proposed the following competition and is sponsoring it with a $100 bet as the prize.

Concept 

1] From the recently completed Karaka yearling sales, pick FOUR horses that you think will make the 2 year old Karaka Millions field in 2025.

2] If they do, you get 10 points for each one that does.

3] It one of your picks runs 1st: 30 points, 2nd: 20 points, 3rd: 10 points, 4th: 5 points and 5th: 2 points (on top of the 10 points for making the field).

Most points wins - first Prize $100 bet sponsored by Liz.  Any tie for first will be split by:

- most runners in the field; then
- who had the winner; then
- who had the runner-up; then
- who had the 3rd place horse

If the tie is still not broken then the prize will be split.  If no one picks a horse to even make the field, the competition is null and void.

Posting deadline - last day for posting selections is Friday 16 February

Please post the Lot # and the Dam's name

eg. 

Lot 10 Desert Star
Lot 295 Parmalove
.......

If a horse makes the field (ie. listed in the race field and included in the barrier draw) but is subsequently scratched, you will still earn 10 points for that horse.

Can I protest ? Joan knows that  I can find them 25% of the time and I feel like I'm being exploited

Scoobs, your a top bloke and generous to boot, but if any of these make it I will put in 100 as well to the victor

Te Akau will probably have half a dozen runners as per usual, and two of those Te Akau horses that Scooby found (not the one by Md'O) are ones I really liked as ones for the race. I think you'd better start saving your $4 a week just in case on those two.

I'm backing my uncanny knack smack. Ellis will find the coming year a little more difficult

Rondinella. Looked anything early then suffered a breathing disorder or heart arhthmia  from memory before racing again successfully in Australia. Was it a result of environment or genetically pre disposed? Looks a great selection on substance

Only been  involved in One breeding Comp on here in 2014, Berris Challenge...i ended up with Speith and Amarula , Speith narrowly missing 2 Group 1s and Amarula a Hawkes Bay Guineas while you were in Hospital .You don't need to have money to burn to have an opinion Scoobs, im sure you have excelled so proving you 'slightly wide' here will be the first feather in my Cap .This could cost me $1.92 a week so.pressures on alright..... these comps are better with a Cap on expenditure but interesting anywho
