Losers Get Laid 2019 (14th edition).RESULTS thread

Recommended Posts

First of two updates. 

Plenty of nice returns early,  the best being those who potted Avilius at evens in a double points race.

The Kiss Of Death horse came in to play with the late scratching of Con Te Partiro, but thankfully for Sayer, she could only manage second.

The upcoming Te Akau Shark is by far the most popular lay of the day with 8 of the 57 entrants prepared to pot him.

An intriguing day 1... Kloppite went very close to recording 166-odd points with Libertini, which would have put today's nine 'losers' with 34 points of elimination straight off the bat.

But she got the job done, albeit narrowly, and in the process gave the handful of people who took Villami at 14.10 some room to breathe. It very nearly stole the race.

See you all next week.

This is the best comp... drama already and we’re only in week one 

Tommo can you do the “kiss of death” selection for next week ... something that can’t get beat ( but will if you pick it ) 

Well done and many thanks to scorekeepers, linesmen and ball boys. 

I’ve been banned from participating in this comp short stuff so you’ll have to pick someone else for the “kiss of death” selection. 

Perhaps you could get Ernie to do it. He did a good job with Hay List. :P

That’s only one - compared to your numbers! :rcf-tongue-2: Besides, I never back odds on - something you’re expert at!

You did a pretty good job with Zoustyle too Ernie. You want me to name some others? :P

Nothing wrong with odds on. Just ask the guy who had 70K on Libertini on Saturday. B)

Righto short stuff. I’m going nice and early for Saturday.

Mystic Journey will not get beaten. 

Currently paying $2.10 All in. She’ll be odds on come the weekend without a doubt.

Lay her, I dare you. :P

I’m signing off for an extended period now as I have holiday to plan in the States.

Enjoy the best horse in Australia dominate. 

Hasta La Vista baby! B)

Well, business picked up big time today. Mystic Journey got rolled and that took competition leader Talk to 250 points. You know what that means,  anyone below zero is eliminated under the new mercy rule declared by the sponsor. So, as well as two people who selected a second straight winner, nine others got the chop because they picked a winner either today or last week.

It was an otherwise very prosperous day with Dalasan the only one to do any real damage.

If nothing else, today should tell you not to chicken out and take something paying longer than about $5, especially in a race without bonus points.
See you next week, 

Toblerone (eliminated)

This competition has a serious fault with the Group races being essentially bonus races every week, the only way to win is to pick Group one runners paying $3 or less .... 

Why not just have group one races ...  

And the mercy ??? rule, should have come in, say halfway through the competition. To make one mistake in the first round and be eliminated the next week even after not picking a winner is pretty sad.

If the top three pick low divvie G1 non winners in the next couple of weeks, there won't be many people left !

 

But if the sponsor is happy then so be it.  :rcf-thinking-1:

I get your point but it is also easy enough to slip up with laying G1 shorties. I think yday mine was at 4s/5s and the narrower it gets the bigger the risk that the price is correct and it will romp in. That was clearly the opinion yesterday with MJ and I thought it would win well but....no! Be interesting to see if picking 3/4/5 dollar shots consistently is enough to gather points and stay alive.

I disagree with you, Archer.

The rules have been carefully set out.  I think it is a wonderful competition, and it will run until mid November, so there will be lots of interest.  And, if I am lucky enough to get a $500 bar voucher I would be pleased to extend an invitation to you.

The punishments seem to counter each other, making the two winner rule near obsolete.

Thanks for the offer but I doubt any one will be alive soon ...
