say no more 2,904 Report post Posted April 3 First round of play-offs - 4 teams get the week-off - no need to post. Enjoy the little freshen-up and we'll see you back next week! 1. Either pick two horses in each race - you will have $10 each way on both and a $2 quinella; or if you'd prefer to pick just one horse in any (or all of the races) you can do that and you will have $20 each way on that one runner, but you will forego the quinella. 2. You will have two best bet races where your bet is doubled. They can be any two of the 12 races listed below. Posting deadline this week is 2.00pm This weeks 12 races are as follows. Fantastic day of racing at Randwick, so that's our focus - let's hope it doesn't get too wet. 1. Trentham R7 2. Randwick R2 3. Randwick R3 4. Randwick R4 5. Randwick R5 6. Randwick R6 7. Randwick R7 8. Randwick R8 9. Randwick R9 10. Caulfield R4 11. Caulfield R8 12. Caulfield R9 Please enter horse numbers, not names and remember to nominate two best bet races, and some form of punctuation between your two numbers is very helpful - thanks. nomates 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
say no more 2,904 Report post Posted April 3 With the rain forecast in Sydney I just want to remind you of the following rule: Abandoned races - there needs to be a minimum of 6 races run for a round to stand. Less than 6 races and the results of that round will be null and void. If that happens on Saturday we will push everything back one week. If 6 or less races are abandoned in any round you can change Best bet races up until the posting deadline. After the posting deadline a best bet on an abandoned race is just the rub of the green. nomates and Black Kirrama 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
say no more 2,904 Report post Posted April 3 Championship Veandercross vs Horlicks Melody Belle vs Avantage Plate Rough Habit vs Mr Tiz Imperatriz vs Showgate Bonecrusher, McGinty, Mufhasa & Sunline get the week off. and another reminder from the original rules - there will be no $2,400 bonus points this week. The winners will be decided by the outcome of the four individual H2Hs and the team aggregate. nomates 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
say no more 2,904 Report post Posted April 3 When these teams met in Pool play: Veandercross vs Horlicks - Week 11 (last week) - a very close match with Veandercross getting up for a narrow 3-2 win - Howie (RFT) the difference maker in this one. Melody Belle vs Avantage - you have to go all the way back to Week 1 where Melody Belle won 4-1 in a low scoring match - Arjay excelled that day. Rough Habit vs Mr Tiz - in Week 2 Rough Habit won easily (5-0) and found themselves second on the table at that point. "Where did it all go wrong Mr Best?" Imperatriz vs Showgate - Week 9 around the time of Showgate's revival (jockey left her with too much to do), and Showgate beat Imperatriz 5-0.` (Imperatriz did put up their lowest weekly tally that day).

Thanks Rev - I've been knocked over with gastro since Sunday night and only just up and about a bit today, so it was just a wee muck around without much effort. Have to say it was pretty tough to find photos of Showgate on the world wide interweb Good luck with all those calcs - I'm sure you will shine through in the Randwick gloom (fingers crossed it goes ahead) Black Kirrama 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for this excellent competition, John & Scooby. It's a whole lot of fun each Saturday afternoon.
