Stirling effort today John, both here and the knockout comp'

Much appreciated by All I am sure.

Steve.

 

Cheers Steve.  Bit hectic at times - once again makes me realise what a stellar job the master does, week in week out.  Guess it helps when your better half is in the comp as well - she's less likely to expect you to spend time with the family 

Thanks to Geoff for the whiz bang formatting tool/website to get the results from my spreadsheet to look a little more presentable on here.

 nooooo  .. a team is a team we all have good and bad weeks that's a given !    It's not a bad place to be anyway - no pressure on us now to perform so more than likely we will  ... We shall all make hay while the sun shines - party on and ensure that none of the good stuff is left in the cellar for the next dwellers

What!

You mean to say you have your brother in law and your wife in the comp.

That means you potentially have a mole in the Reapers

haha.. no he's referring to Peter  ...       You have all men in your team hesi .... do you think John's married to VS?

No drama Pam we are a team .....Ray just wants us to cruise along and slowly build into the finals and ignore all the hyper activity from the "sprinters"

[Lloyd Vivian 742]

When I asked you to go easy on me Pam I didn't expect you to take it THAT seriously!!!  Back from the fishing trip where I ticked one more off  the bucket list by catching a beautiful 1.1m, 14.5kg kingi this morning..to find the Tremendous Thunderbirds have hit the top of the table!! Awesome effort guys! Onwards and upwards aye...nah..hang on....just onwards!!!

2nd 7 The Sunliners^ $4479.20

3rd 6 The Grim Reapers* $5040.00

4th 6 The Broncos $4624.00

7th 4 The Warriors^ $3532.40

8th 3.5 The Heat^ $4010.40

 

* J1 Joker played

^ J2 Joker played

The Thunderbirds win took the to the top of the heap displacing the side they defeated yesterday - The Sunliners. The Grim Reapers nice win took them up 3 places to trail 3rd while the Broncos walloping of the Warriors took them past half the opposition teams into 4th. The Renegades won but still lost two spots (!) while the Panthers defeat cost them two places also, likewise the Warriors. Defeat for the Heat saw them slide one place down into the cellar. Half the teams - The Broncos, Renegades, Panthers and leaders The Thunderbirds have yet to play a Joker.

Im sure its just a coincidence my last 3 opponents have all been Hurricane team mates..............................

[N1MUE 1,877]

Nothing like following a 6-0 hiding from the (previously) last placed team, with a match against the top team (and at Rotovegas of all places - can't remember the last time I backed a winner there).  Good thing we've got a little bit of home town knowledge at Scone - right Peter??  Forget Doomben & Morphettville - rubbish racing there - lets go five races at Scone.

I guess if there was a silver lining to the weekend's clouds, it's the fact that if you're going to have an absolute shocker then you're best to get it out of the way on the day your opponents put up ridiculous numbers.

Team Warriors note the bit in there about "get it out of the way" - time to pick up our game this weekend.  Expecting Steph Curry back for this one. 

[Cubes 1,770]

Gosh.....Cubes looked at the lucky 8 ball.....Warriors Trashtalk +PJ Random draw = Warriors "shock" Joker play ?

Pete's weaning you off us gradually... you miss us... you know you do 

[Lloyd Vivian 742]

Definitely worth posting early last week in order to get away for a fish....

Interesting summation John. Yes get that shock-horror result out of the way early, I agree. Might be hard to fit a race from Scone into this week's schedule and then there is the doubt that Trackside won't cover the thing. Those Morphettville races always throw up some drama and more than a few upsets. I figure those T-birds are due a systems failure that will have Bones scratching his plastic noggin. Could be the week to strike although I agree that Arawa Park is my own personal punter graveyard.

Well done on the big Kingi Lloyd. 

Scone Horse week on this week so busy, busy, busy....

The fish looks a bit rigid(dead) Lloyd, you sure it's not out of a deep freezer or one of those one's you find hanging on walls

Well done though, even getting it off a wall would have been a challenge.

PS That's not the marine reserve at Leigh in the background??

I can assure you he was very much alive - albeit totally 'stuffed' - as were my arms!!!  Leigh is on the same side of the island as I was on - but that's about as close as it gets. Many miles away - But I can't reveal any more secrets or there'll be no more there when I go next time!!

I agree with everything except the "shock-horror result" bit.

I am at the Stud for an Open House this morning so race 1 update will be a little late but should catch up by race 2. Good luck today everyone.

From a quick flick through the picks, I could only see four entrants on Domination in the first  (only a quick glance so might have missed subs, etc..)

Rosina for the Panthers and Ray for the Sunliners to tie that match up at 1-1.  Gordy with a best bet continues the Broncos scoring blitz, and John picks his first winner at Rotorua since goodness knows when (unfortunately didn't have a bet).

After catching up on results one would have to ask why the devil we even pick here in New Zealand in the winter, let alone race a horse.

I for one loathe looking for pins. One must forget about form it appears.
