yeah a bit sad,

obviously this did have only have a few races left, but someone  needed a leg up and now ALL the sharks have been let back in  .... :( 

no bops to Pondy, who has done a fantastic job, but its seems a bit of cattle leg in the desert now ... 

 

Easy thing is dont enter if it is such a big issue...I put up the money and Ponderosa has kindly given his time what have you contributed to the site or the comp to date???

Sandown has always been part of the Spring Carnival hence its inclusion, it was a genuine mistake that I initially forgot to count the Sandown races and there was absolutely no intention to give anyone a leg up... so who is the "someone" you mention.

We could always throw in the G3 from Newcastle this Saturday too.

Digging out the original comp rules Sandown and Newcastle should be  defo in , makes no difference to me as I am just hoping for a top 20 finish but was all group races NZ , Vic and NSW until Gallops Cup day .

 

Great work on scoring Ponderosa , been  good fun comp .

Well Seddon will have been waiting patiently for the results to come out...Striking the First Four on the Couplands Mile ($2,914.90) meant they jump into the lead. That was the only First Four struck today, not much else worth mentioning unfortunately.

Grand Final day on Saturday..

After Sandown Race 6. 

No 1 was a Scratching so the Scratching rule came into play on just about everyone's selections, meant heaps got the Trifecta but no one got the First Four.

1st and 2nd remain the same but Ohokaman jumps up to 3rd while Disillusioned drops down again. 

Just the Newcastle race and 3 races from Sandown remaining.

After Newcastle Race 6.

Peter R S with the First Four ($2,304.10), after that a few with 8 points was the next highest. Still not much happening at the top so I'd say a few nervous people with 3 races to go.

Right First Time entered the comp for the 1st time today and got the First Four ($425.00)

After Sandown race 9 Pegasus maintains the lead but Seddon still a chance to run them down but they have similarish picks in the last.

Its close for 3rd and 4th with only 1 point separating Ohokaman and Disillusioned.

Another to post for the first time today was Koriokaramea and they struck the First Four (($1,805.90).

Good Luck to those still with a chance leading into the last.
