N1MUE 1,877 Report post Posted July 15, 2017 Maria on the runner-up but nobody on Slightly Sweet, so Gers still lead 3-2. Reds running out of time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1MUE 1,877 Report post Posted July 15, 2017 To win the Gers need: Air Align or Onerous to win for Casper; or Here to There to win for Tom: or Tried and Tired or Schism (paying $4.20 or more) to win for Maria (Schism and T&T quinella would be enough if Schism's dividend below $4.20) Great finish coming up and all the best to both teams - I'm just off to the TAB to put all I've got on Schism to keep that dividend down.

Peter Jenkins 2,120 Report post Posted July 15, 2017 Hi everyone ! At the stadium waiting for the game to start with Sarah and Bryn. Followed the final few races in the St. George pub in Lidcombe. What a thrilling climax! Sarah was so nervous she couldn't even watch the final race at Caulfield. She had one of her best days but lost her match with Ian despite being her team's top scorer. Posting Friday night didn't affect her form one bit even without markets showing faves ! A big thanks to John and Maria for standing in with updates. My best hope for these comps is for the top two sides to make the final and for it to go down to the wire - mission accomplished! Congrats to The Reds! Top team selection and brilliant form plus a dash of luck when it was needed. Thanks everyone for playing. Cheers PJ Gordy55, Steve Paul, von Smallhaussen and 4 others 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
