Peter, I think the link on the Lucky 7 banner needs to be changed to this thread as it is still going to Hesi's post.  🙂 

Great to have you both back Roland and Jen!  🤗

Well done Old Mate!  Congratulations on taking out the final 🥂

Showtime! so close and a beaut effort chaps.  Each week someone has stepped up to keep us in the hunt and it's been a real team effort 🤗    You are all winners in my eyes and it's been a pleasure to be your el captiano! 🙂 

Well, not sure what's happening now 🙂   I'll leave it for Peter to advise, but a close match all day and a good go by both teams.

8. Randwick R8 - 5.40pm - Schweppes All Aged Stks (Gr1) - $1.5m, 1400m, WFA

First:  11  Magic Time  $7.30

Quin:  11/7  Amenable  $236.10

Sub:  9 Espiona

Scr:    2  LS

The Grahame Begg trained mare, Magic Time, was too strong in the very heavy track conditions and only the outsider of the field, the Lonhro gelding Amenable was up to the challenge, trying hard for his recently departed sire.    Both BC and Craig found the winner which means they are still locked up in their head to head battle.    No change.

7. Randwick R7 - 5.00pm - Moet & Chandon Champagne Stks (Gr1) - $1m, 1600m, 2yos SWs

First:   3  Broadsiding  $3.40

Quin:  3/2  Linebacker  $7.00

Sub:  7 Manaal

Scrs:  All Started

The Too Darn Hot Godolphin colt was too darn good in the heavy conditions, out of a Street Cry mare in Speedway and was a popular selection for both teams, Quinellas for PJ, Jack and Rex, with a collect for BC for Old Mate, and Craig, Pete and BS adding $34 to their totals for Showtime!   Jack's quinnie has broken the deadlock with BS and evens it up at 2 all with three to go! 🙂   All eyes on the BC - Craig match!

With the abandonment of Ellerslie - next race is Randwick Race 7:

Update on selections next race for Old Mate vs Showtime!

There has been a slip at Ellerslie apparently so jockeys and stewards are just checking the track.

PJ and Rex on the Rogerson winner for Old Mate with Pete replying for Showtime!.  Rex also snaffled the Quinella putting Old Mate 2 ahead after the first.

Looking very gloomy at Ellerslie, bit a wind there too looking at their silks flapping.

😄 Geez guys, it's only one race and pretty much everyone selected the same horses 😀  We'll see how the extraps are going a few races in 😆  I'm picking they'll go by the wayside! 💃

Here we go Showtime!, our last start for this campaign - cheers  🥂 to giving this a good crack and having some fun!   It has been an honour to captain such gentlemen and racing scholars!  🥂💃     Go well go swell!! 🤗

You can have issues if the ground is falling away below it so when horses run on it, it gives as it would on a soft track until it gives too much.   Perhaps the underlying surface was not sufficiently consolidated ?   

He was 25!  Wow, where did the time go.   What a lovely boy he was and he left those good looks in his progeny too.

Hopefully we can lead Old Mate a merry dance, Showtime!  💃🤭
