Well that 7 race bronze play-off match turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax but congrats to STYX for doing just that to us as my poor overworked team limped out of the comp on the back of 3 consecutive losses. Sasha, Stevie N, Zig & Midnight Caller it was a real pleasure having you guys in KAOS. When we were hot we were sizzling. Congrats MC for being the top individual scorer over the whole comp too. Your captain is leaving the building.....

8. Countback. If a head-to-head contest is a tie on $$$ earned then a countback will determine the winner by award victory to the player who uniquely selected the highest placed horse in the final event. In other words if you both selected the same horse that cancels itself out. It would be the two selections which are different which will determine the tie-breaker. If the selections are the same for the final event then the same parameter will apply to the penultimate race and so on.

If it does it will be 9 Espiona

Wow is it going to come down to 3 or 9 in the last for Craig & BC?

KAOS hit the lead with Chain Of Lightning and pull one back with Buenos Noche. Zig looking for Espiona or Summer In Paris to break his run...

In the next at Randwick... KAOS hit the lead with Linebacker (must pay more than $3.80) and pull one back with Anode.

KAOS lose on that deal. 4 best bests to 3.

KAOS pull one back with Saint Bathans, Devastate or Provence and hit the lead with Chattahoochee.

STYX take a 4-1 lead with Moonlight Magic or draw level with Promethus. KAOS go further ahead with Rebecchi, Just One or Kealoha.

STYX draw level with Inca Belle or Divine Sava and take the lead with Beavertown Boy KAOS go further ahead with Powerful Moss, Treybon or Cherryville. Royal Wings helps.

Ziggy has gone 12 matches in a row against Howie without scoring. He's hoping Milliefiori or the Radiant one can bring it home. 13 in a row? Unlucky for some...

KAOS take the lead with Domain Ace or Fillygizalook while Love Poem, Dream of the Moon or the aptly named Boss ‘N Highheels will put Howie’s team in front....I think.
