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! 💃

Old Mate go ahead by 2 with Boss N Highheels, and by 1 with Brazen Proposal and Domain Ace

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!  💃🤭

The theory was Howie, that you finished 1st and us 4th (it could still have easily happened as we were a definite contender to make 4th last week despite our poor form), and today we beat you, to go onto the final

Then I woke up lol

Then you woke up and realised it was all just KAOS and some other extrovert performers who just wanted to monopolise every scene and steal the show 🙂

Well done, Maria and your team Showtime on making the Grand Final !
A grand effort.
Good luck for next Saturday. 🙂

Thanks so much Howie 🙂   So close for you guys but that's not much consolation I know... you just need to counter the KAOS next week ...   I'm sure you've got a cunning Howard plan in the offing  🙂 🥂  Go the S men 🙂

Congrats Maria & Showtime. Well deserved win today. 👏 A similar performance next week will see you go very close to taking out this comp. All the best. 👍

To Kaos, best team in the round robin, just couldn't keep it going into the finals. Fantastic team to be a part of. Thoroughly enjoyed it guys. 👊
 
Its going to he hard getting up for the bronze medal match (aka losers final) but I'm sure Howie will bring out the best in us. 🙂

Thanks so much Ray 🙂    All you need to do is play your natural game and bring some KAOS and you'll guide the bronze home 🙂 💃

Cheers for the match KAOS,  Ziggy shout out to you with a beaut total on a not so easy day 🥂 ..  it was a great match, with some close race finishes, other than Jenni's 🙂    

but... I can't wipe the smile off my face 🙂   because I'm so proud of my team.. every week someone has stepped up with a beaut score to pull us through and showstoppers we have been for a number of teams in this comp and on we roll 🙂    Win or lose next week, it's been a blast troops 🥂

Catch ya next week Old Mates!!   Grand Final!!   woohoo  🥂💃

only diff being that in the Belmont Secretariat was going further ahead at the winning post.
Astonishing win by PoJ. One for the ages.

MM

True that he was Maxi.. I don't think they had even entered the straight 🙂   Still in this day and age... as Declan said.. he let her run her own race... how like Sec is that! 🙂 

One of those situations where it didn't matter what you were on, you just didn't want to see her get run down 🙂 

Brought back memories of watching Secretariat 🥰   I just stared at the screen and my eyes were just watering.   Wonderful.

Scr replacement for YO Pete 🙂

Thanks Peter 🙂   All the best to you Ray! 🙂  ....   Cheers to a beaut day Showtimers!  Go well, go swell!  🙂 

They've really promoted it this year on all media streams and run it alongside champions in the Waikato in other sports, especially cycling.    I think putting it out there as a real sport, not just a gambling event, has paid dividends.    It's like we are going back 20 years, when everyone preferred a night at Cambridge to the cold and sterile, concrete jungle of Alex Park and I hope that they go on from here with this level of interest.

Go the Iceman 🙂   great friend of the family and on a big night.. who else 🙂 

Hey Pete, did you watch million dollar homes last night?    They had Paul Barber on and he was selling his rooftop London apartment.   Pretty decent one bedroom, done up like a NY loft and had brill views over London to Big Ben.
