Toblerone 242 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 Kloppite, Talk, Koriokaramea... good luck to the three of you. You may private message me your selections for posting after the cutoff if you wish. However you can of course post them in here too. Entries close 1.15pm. I have only listed the Group 1 races because no one has picked in a G3 or Listed since Week 1. But you may still pick in one of the numerous other blacktype races on the day. I have also made a decision to include the Golden Eagle, which will carry triple points. A reminder, Kloppite and Talk are on their second lives.

scooby3051 10,663 Report post Posted October 31, 2019 Its kind of boring if the selections are in secret...and it takes away from the spirit of the comp.The comp is for everyone in RC not just the competitors...Cheers.

Kloppite 313 Report post Posted October 31, 2019 Looks like Toblerone is proposing to post any picks that are messaged to him, soon after the posting deadline passes. That way those who want to follow the picks can do so, while those still playing can avoid giving someone else a last player advantage if they are concerned about that. I'm relaxed either way.

Koriokaramea 127 Report post Posted October 31, 2019 Good morning, folks. I'm going with :- Flemington M12 Race 5 Horse 2 MELODY BELLE Magnificent Kiwi mare 'top-of-the-tree' in NZ .... but over in Australia it'll have to be another step up, and from gate 13 she will need to be clearly better than them. She may be better than them, but not the significantly better that she will need to be. Thank you very much for this comp Toblerone and poundforpound. Different from the competitions I usually enter, and a whole heap of fun. Good luck to my fellow last men standing, Kloppite and Talk. Cheers. scooby3051 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koriokaramea 127 Report post Posted October 31, 2019 p.s. I don't mind at all if my fellow competitors go Melody Belle as well. I'm just in this and all comps in fact for the personal challenge and fun, rather than any reward. In this comp the personal challenge is of course to be sailing as close to the edge as you can, without tipping over ! . I've managed it well so far ... but tomorrow is another day. Prove me wrong, Melody. scooby3051 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. 1.15pm tomorrow, all picks will be public. This just makes it fair for the remaining three. For what it's worth, Kloppite was the first to indicate his selection to me privately, keeping true to form. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toblerone 242 Report post Posted November 1, 2019 Hi Talk and Kloppite. Due to a prevailing engagement that I forgot about, which starts at 1pm sharp today, I am moving forward close off time until 12.45. Cheers.

Kloppite 313 Report post Posted November 1, 2019 My lay this week is Brutal in the Golden Eagle at Rosehill. Thought about playing safe with a $20 shot but that wouldn't be much fun, and I have nothing to lose. Brutal is a top horse but this is a great field and I'm hoping Brutal's draw is his undoing. I'm picking one of the Waller pair will win it - preferably Kolding. Good luck Talk and Koriokaramea. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
