Losers Get Laid - Week 8 entries

[Toblerone 242]

Plenty of options this week, though I get the feeling there is really only two races anyone will pick in.

I am making a small exception this week.... if you wish to lay horse in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes at The Valley on Friday night. Picks for this race only close at 11pm.

Otherwise, come Saturday, entries close at 1.31pm.

Ok time to roll the dice:

Meeting 12 Race 9 Cox Plate

9 Lys Gracieux

Thanks

Davey

[poundforpound 3,550]

Kiss Of Death default option this week, the Cox Plate favourite, Lys Gracieux  

[Kloppite 142]

My lay this week is:

Manikato (tonight) #9 Bivouac

Going big or going home - equally happy with either outcome.

I hope Tony Pike is right. 

Cheers

[Kloppite 142]

Bivouac closed at $1.80 on the tote, so that's 166.67 points.

That puts me more than 250 points clear of the field so is that game, set and match? 

 

[Toblerone 242]

Going to require some major luck for everyone else. Well done.

[poundforpound 3,550]

I think that is it, smartly played Kloppite, even if we all pick the Cox Plate fave and it loses we simply wouldn’t earn enough points to escape the mercy clause, except of course Scooby and those currently in the mid to high 400 point range 

The good news is twofold, if we do all get knocked out today.

Firstly Kloppite is going to donate his prize to someone needy, please advise names for my approval Kloppite, or I’ll make the decision and advise here.

Secondly, I’m going to donate the same prize again, if Toblerone will run it, starting next Saturday, then the four days of Melbourne Cup week, the three days of NZ Cup week, plus the NZ Trotting Cup.

A short sharp two week jobbie over seven different days

Doesn’t matter what I do I’m chutneyed so

Meeting 12 Race 9 Cox Plate

9 Lys Gracieux

 Thanks for your sterling work Toblerone 

[scooby3051 4,753]

I will go the Fav in the Cox plate...9 Lys Gracieux ...Thanks everyone.

[Houlahan's Dream 116]

Same here. 9 Lys Gracieux...

Thanks for comp. Well played Kloppite. 

[Ponderosa8 454]

I'll have to follow too … Lys Gracieux..

By my calculations, she has to close off at $3.00 and less and loose just to avoid getting the chop from the mercy rule...yikes.!

(was today the last day for this comp.?)

Thanks for the comp.. sponsors and Toblerone

[Koriokaramea 108]

I'm going with :-

M12

The Valley

R9

12

Mystic Journey

Thank you very much for this comp, Toblerone and poundforpound. A lot of fun.

[We're Doomed 2,912]

Well done Kloppite, shades of Kotare Chief. Too much for us more conservative types.Thank you to Toblerone for the scoring and to p4p for putting up the prize. 

On the off chance Lys Gracieux is the subject of a massive plunge and still misses I will go for her in the Cox Plate along with everyone else.

Still a few people left in, and I have lost one life so I won't count my chickens, but if my luck holds and I finish in the prize spots, I'm happy for you to find someone deserving.  Cheers.

[poundforpound 3,550]

Rules are rules....he played the game better.

It looks as though it’ll be over today but don’t panic, subject to Toblerone agreeing we’ll reload and have a quickie version for the same prizes, over the next two weeks .....

Scooby can decide then....but it has to go to someone who’s had a rough spin for whatever reason....or someone who’s thoroughly deserving 

Scooby will sort it out

Just made it.

I suspect you’ve missed cut off though so your default will only count as minus 50 if she wins and no score if she gets beat 

Toblerone ? Is that correct ?

[Toblerone 242]

Hey guys, I have been on the road today. I will tend to everything before the night is out. Apologies for the slight delay. Happy to reload again next week. Looks like only a couple left
