Queensland Carnival comp - Week 1 entry thread

[say no more 3,552]

See the other thread for details on how this six week comp will flow.

In terms of Week 1 entry, most of you know the drill by now, but new entrants are more than welcome.  Please read the rules below carefully.

1.  Either pick two horses in each race listed below - 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 1.30pm 

This weeks 12 races are as follows - focus on Queensland but a few good races at the tail end of the SA carnival, and a tiny bit of Vegas.

1. Rotorua R6
2. Rotorua R8
3. Gold Coast R3
4. Gold Coast R4
5. Gold Coast R5
6. Gold Coast R6
7. Gold Coast R7
8. Gold Coast R8
9. Morphettville R5
10. Morphettville R6
11. Morphettville R7
12. Morphettville R8

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. 

Regular scratchings - it is up to you to replace any scratchings prior to the posting deadline.  If you don't then you will have only one runner in the race, unless you have two scratchings or a single pick is scratched, in which case you will have no runners in that race.

(and for the avoidance of any doubt if you pick two and one is scratched the single remaining runner will be a $10 each way bet).

Late scratchings - any late scratchings will default to the TAB sub (and second win favourite if you already have the sub or both your runners are late scratched).  In the event of equal second win favourites the second sub will be the horse with the lower saddlecloth number.  If you have a single bet and it is late scratched, you will have a single bet on the TAB sub.

Abandoned races - we need a minimum of 6 races to be run for the results to stand.  Any less than 6 and this round will be null and void.  If you had a best bet in an abandoned race you can change best bet races up until the posting deadline - after that it is just the rub of the green.

Thanks John , some Gold Coast racing to keep you busy.

Once at Gold Coast at Southport there , had a small harness racing track about 650m around we would have a crack at. One night poor filly snapped the buckle inside rein, so we headed outwards ok away from the field during the race,  so thought could stop her on outside fence at the back straight. alas  Went straight through the Panel . Hell of a bang , and down the 4-5m odd x  45 degree banking out the back, just like the 'Man from Snowy River' riding down the slippery slope. Didn't even break the sulky miraculously. Horse was a bit shattered so don't think we it raced again after that. but did have one nice foal that made open class later.  good luck today .
