Insider 3,883 Report post Posted January 13, 2019 Whilst the official margins haven't been announced, it looks pretty obvious to me that the winner is Poundforpound. At this stage it is unofficial, BUT using the TV screen, the front on view and my binoculars, I estimate that the losing margin is 20 lengths plus!

Leggy 4,010 Report post Posted January 13, 2019 2 hours ago, poundforpound said: Has it even finished yet ?? I mean WTF were they thinking even bringing it up here ?? I do hope the club or NZTR intervenes and doesn’t let it run in the million dollar race, Not just because it’s not worthy, or that it’ll be charged with loitering, but more that it’ll keep a genuine contender out of the field. BTW I don’t want the prize so anyone who’s been doing it tough can contact me through Scooby and they can have a $200 voucher, one person only, same terms and conditions, Scooby decides who gets it. Bloody good deal running a comp and winning it yourself. I might pop up and you can buy me dinner with your voucher. I think Scoobs should allocate it to your good self under the circumstances.

Baz (NZ) 1,719 Report post Posted January 13, 2019 How about Majia Vance? ...or a poor trainer with a stable full of maidens trying to win a $10,000 race? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauhei Notts 1,403 Report post Posted January 13, 2019 I have been doing it tough. I had a $200 bet with a friend; head to head; Ipatch versus Lil' Rocka in the eighth today. But the conditions were if neither finished in the first six it was NO BET!. Ipatch came seventh. It is now 8 35 p.m. and I think Lil Rocka has crossed the finish line, by now. Damnation and botheration! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted January 14, 2019 Why don’t you keep it P4P? Winners are grinners and you could use it to shout me a beer when I visit your fine establishment on Friday night! I’ll be there, as promised, by 8pm. Looking forward to seeing how it rates with the old Euro, Cowboys and Pog MacDougles (or whatever you called the pubs!) see you fri nite.
