Bruce M 143 Report post Posted April 20, 2013 I think that means I can replace it Hesi.But then comprehension wasn't a strong point at school If your horse is officially late scratched you may have no chance to change it...indeed you can't after 11am.Therefore if you're late scratched and don't/can't post a replacement you will survive but score no points. If you're scratched normally you will go on Dillo's BEST BET unless you post a replacement before 11am. Sorry Basil but you can't post a late scratching replacement after 11am.

Bruce M 143 Report post Posted April 20, 2013 AFTER WEEK 14 Brown Fox's selection of a late scratching combined with Sorrell's laying of Pierro means we'll have at least a semblance of a contest for the final week 433.45 Brown Fox 374.56 Sorrell 304.95 Von Smallhausen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogiehorse 4 Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Well, I'm a Comical Lass. This has been All Too Hard at times, but at the end of the day, It's A Dundeel. So, hearty congratulations to Von Smallhausen for your fine stayer's run. Thank you very much zzz for the competition. Such fun. Thanks Bruce for your score keeping. Hope to meet up with you all again in the next comp. Cheers SORRELL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Smallhaussen 3,226 Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Those words were ringing in my ears....."wait until the clocktower - and then wait some more" ! I feel for Foxy who led this comp for so long and then just get nutted on the line. Your day will come. Sorrell you also made the day with the comp going right to the last race. Thanks to all those that competed, these comps are so much fun. A big thank you to Bruce for his work collating the results and naturally to zzz for putting up the prize. We will go for a fixed odds bet next week - and donate 25% of the winnings if there are any to the Claire Donachie fund.

Centrofold 147 Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Congratulations Von Not quite the Boom! Boom! that I expected Basil. Got to confess I was surprised you picked the long odds. Very unlike you.. You made it a tough comp. Well done Sorrell for lasting the distance. All Too Hard was a very brave pick, I thought. Yes, lets do it again in the Spring.

Brown Fox 867 Report post Posted April 27, 2013 Yes,well done Von.On Sat. morning I saw that It's A Dundeel was the only horse that could overtake me.Since he was absolutely unbeatable I played it safe as the money was in the bag. Was a funny old weekend.Had a fantastic night at Alex.Park on Friday and decided to hang on to it on Saturday with those tracks. Missed out on LGL so decided to have one bet.Man.City to win by 2 goals.They lost it with less than 1 min.to go in injury time! God I love/hate gambling.
