Eclipsed 245 Report post Posted September 30, 2016 Could be quite strategic this year given that last year the winning team got their starting pool of $800 just past the $1,000 mark. First prize has increased to $5,000 Free food and beverage for teams of up to 4 - should be another great day. ......and a lazy bottle of red to say that the Whale will spank Westview !

Guest Report post Posted October 16, 2016 Westview was right again! Westview Whale Whoppers today won the Methven Punters Comp. Think this is the 3rd time in the last 4 years that a Westview team has won this competition. Winning total was over the $3k mark. How did "The Whale" go? An "also ran" again!!! Congratulations Westview, well deserved as you always are a great supporter of both the Methven and Addington punters competitions.

Eclipsed 245 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 A keenly fought affair throughout - Westview always handy after Mr Woodlea came home for them in our comp's 1st race. Last year's winner "Couldn't careless" right in it throughout and more than tripled their initial $8 hundy at the end of play in running 3rd . Newbies "Percy"were also thereabouts after $100 win Rocki Warrior at $11's. They put $500 on the winner's nose in the last and came up just $29 shy of the winner. Both teams quadrupled their starting kick - it was a day where the TAB's selector had 8 of 11 winners in their 1st three selections including 5 winners so a graveyard it wasn't. A lazy red i owe the Westview team although it'll be swapped for a lazy white for Mrs Westview who helped heaps throughout the day taking entries and writing up with the leaderboard. 21 teams entered - a great days racing.

I think winning 3 from the last 5 Methven championships is pretty good form. For The so called " leading analyst in the country," you would think he would be winning some of the punting comps wouldn't you?

No I dont know how the The Whale went in the Auckland heats - tell me all about it. What I do know is that if Westview was a horse he would have qualified for the Met Multipler with his efforts at Addington in the KPC.

I have supported this competition previously, and think it is a great idea. As I have pointed out to you previously, I don't beleive in some of the conditions of the competition and surely that is my perogative? Dont like to be a hypocrite if I can help it. Dont know why you want to think that I am a pauper when quite the opposite, but would you feel better if I said I was bankrupt, Fiery?

Eclipsed 245 Report post Posted September 30, 2019 Methven has always been a byo racecourse so you're welcome to bring whatever you'd like to Greg. Our beer sponsor is Speight's and they have many other options - Coaster Howe opted for drinking Corona last time!

MisterEd 323 Report post Posted October 4, 2019 Big question will be do they run them. Forecast is rain. They have got workouts there today but I heard it was snowing close to Methven this morning. Interesting to see what happens. They did cancel the previous meeting with less than an inch of rain that week Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
