LastOf40 547 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 I was narrowing down a few possibilities for this week when the Auckland Racing Club email arrived. On the list of proven selectors who can stop a train... Dillo... Butch Castles... comes a new pretender, or so I have noticed these past few months. So when this appeared I knew it was Aotearower for me : CRAIG BAKER'S BEST BETS R6 - #9 – Aotearower R10 - # 4 – All Torn Up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering why no score received Cheers Brian My apologies Brian. You are exactly right. I did record your sub (Southern Sav) but in my rush to get the results out last night I forgot to record a dividend and therefore your score. I have taken a dividend of $9.80 from the NZ Racing results - does that sound right to you? That gives you 10.20 points and takes your aggregate to 157.76 points. Doesn't change your position but gets you a little closer to the leaders (with two lives in hand). Thanks for checking and for pointing it out.

N1MUE 1,877 Report post Posted January 2, 2016 Round 9 results: An interesting week. Nobody eliminated and only one winner selected, but it was a joker play which dropped Swoopa out of contention. Some nice points earned on Pacquiao, Love Days, Paceman and Star Stealer. With Hesi earning no points (abandoned meeting), the Rookie jumps into a nice lead and has already reached the magical 325 point mark. See you next Saturday.

Von Cettes 685 Report post Posted January 2, 2016 Yes agree Hesi, bit of bad luck bud, puts a pressure on having to find something even money to play catch up, I was concentrating on you, how much I needed to be behind you going into round 12 and the Rookie went "Bang" still Gonsta Cabbage Richard within striking distance, but the shorties will be in play now, Rookie in the box seat, thanks for the comp the other day. Unfortunate with tote break downs weather and the likes, well done to Cabbage on winning the FA Cup (well done lassie ) you should enter PJs super comp you will be a good pick up for some team Chestnut, GONSTA and Peter Jenkins 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkielad 108 Report post Posted January 9, 2016 Congratulations to all that have SURVIVED (actually thought he would go close today), and good luck for the next two weeks. A couple of technical hitches led to my demise, but cest la vie. I won't pick my favs to win, as I don't wanna put the curse on, but my guess is, only 6 will be left at the end.

N1MUE 1,877 Report post Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah a couple of technical glitches led to my demise as well - I picked two winners. Unfortunately it was very early on in the comp. I'm going to kick off another of these LGL comps when this one finishes - relatively low maintenance and I'm determined to be competitive in one of these at some point Any suggested improvements for next round?
