Toblerone 242 Report post Posted September 21, 2019 WEEK 3 RESULTS Well, Begood Toya Mother was a pivotal horse for many today - whether he won or lost, at least four people were going to be eliminated. He did the business knocking out four and costing another five their first life and 50 points, including the leader, Talk. The numerous people who took Dream Force would have been nervous when he chimed in at the 300m, but Avilius rolled over the top to give the masses a reprieve. We lost 13 more today thanks solely to Begoodtoyamother, Avilius and Melody Belle and 33 now remain.

Toblerone 242 Report post Posted September 23, 2019 I was just about to ask you that. I'm inclined to say that Friday should be included but I don't think it's fair that people picking on Sunday have to post two days early with uncertain track conditions. Perhaps a staggered cutoff this week and this week only? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby3051 10,695 Report post Posted September 23, 2019 Yes I think that's a good Idea, cut off Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the days they race...as per a normal Saturday...what do you think P4P??? Ponderosa8 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toblerone 242 Report post Posted September 27, 2019 Week 4 Day 1 update. Nature Strip ($3) did the business in the Moir and it stung five tipsters. A further three collected off Sunlight's ($5.10) defeat while one of our top 5 got through thanks to Miss Siska ($4.60) in the Stocks Stakes.

Toblerone 242 Report post Posted September 29, 2019 And then there were 26. Another 7 dipped out this weekend including three who dropped beyond 250 off the lead when Homesman couldn't get past the rank outsider Black Heart Bart. We have a new leader, L.J Shannon, who is sitting pretty on 345.60 with both lives in hand. Remarkable recoveries from Talk and Kloppite, who have both lost a life, and 50 points, and still remain in the top 3.

Toblerone 242 Report post Posted October 12, 2019 Another fascinating day's racing for this comp - there was a little bit of everything. Poor old Cyril Rioli got stiffed by the late scratching of Steel Prince. Trekking won, costing him 50 points and flushing him down the shitter as he fell over 300 behind the leader. Sorry guy! Trekking also took out High Sparrow while the last bob victory of Flit also claimed 2 1/2 victims. L.J.Shannon had been putting in a faultless performance but stumbled today. Cosmic Force and Shadow Hero also claimed victims leaving us with just 16 left. High Sparrow dropped just 5 points below the threshold. Kloppite, the victim of some colourful sledging from the tournament sponsor early doors has really blown out to a commanding lead. But one slip up and it's curtains for him. Our genial host, Mr Scooby is the highest placed runner with both lives left. Fascinating times!
