TooFast

Eek ....I'm starting to fade ! ...... had the 'pedal to the metal' there for a while, but now starting to take what's known as 'Hurricanes steps' (translated as going up-and-down on the one spot as the swoopers emerge from out of the ruck). 😊 One last burst of energy needed tomorrow, to cement a place in 'Top 3'. Focus man, focus !

I'll definitely go with 'D', please PJ.

You've been a force in the past, and you'll be a force`again, Rees. How about reconsidering Rees, and Winfreux (Luke) too. No-one ever feels that anyone's letting them down picks-wise, that's the nature of these magnificent PJ Super (or National) comps . Everyone has their 'high' and 'low' times. The only time we get "shirty" is when people commit to a comp and then their attendance is erratic for no good reason. Would be great to see you in again, Rees and Luke.

Pete and Gordy ..... can we please add Maxi to our list of 'known troublemakers' who are 'must beat's in any Mighty Blues match-up. what ? ..... he was already on that list ! ok, fair do s. Please re-confirm Maxi on the list for this coming season also. I'm sure he'll have company there. We'll be remorseless in seeing off these known troublemakers. 🤭

Word is that Geoff's not sure he'll be a starter for Mighty Blues, though thankfully he's not considering other options. I'm sure there'll be a space for him if he reconsiders.

Mighty Blues for me, thanks PJ. No point me looking at other lesser options, when clearly NZ's premier city will be the team to beat.

You rest now, Craig ........we've got the message ! 😄 Do you have any links with Auckland, Craig ?? ..... cos the 'Mighty Blues' may, just may have a spot available ...just the one mind. We'd have to factor you into our selectorial equations, but no promises. 😊

Good morning, folks. I've alighted on these for Te Aroha & Musselbrook, and have my fingers and toes crossed. R1) 1x2 R2) 5x9 Best Bet R3) 7x9 R4) 1x8 R5) 9x11 R6) 5x8 Best Bet R7) 3x6 R8) 8x12 R9) 1x2 Thrown in a few 'roughies' to spice things up. Hasn't 'Wandering' done well, right up there at the business end each and every raceday. Off and gone I would say, though Geoff's still in with a shot. Thanks, PJ, and good luck everyone.

Well done, Gordy ! 👍 Racing into form nicely as the 'Mighty Blues' get ready to assemble.

Good morning, folks. I'll try these ones today :- R1) 5x8 R2) 2x7 Best Bet R3) 1x6 R4) 3x6 Best Bet R5) 2x3 R6) 8x11 R7) 1x3 R8) 4x10 Good luck, everyone. Am hoping I won't have a scratching in the Aussie race cos I won't be around to replace any scratchingt, and the one at the bottom of the book doesn't look the brightest as a 'sub'. 😊 Thanks, PJ.

Complete farce. NZ racing at it's worst. Create a problem ....then immediately compound the problem. I hope the Aussies weren't watching ..... they're still chuckling over the cricket.

and adding in :- Best Bets :- Races 6 & 10 Thanks, PJ.

and adding in :- R11) 5x6 Wall of Fire x High Bridge Thanks, PJ.

Happy New Year best wishes PJ, and all PJ Comp participants. May this year 2020 be a very happy and successful year for you all. Magnificent competitive fields for Auckland today ....great racing and tight finishes are assured. I'll pin my hopes on these ones :- R1) 3x10 Sagunto x Lochwinnoch R2) 10x12 Mekelle x Shanqueen R3) 1x8 Not An Option x American Princess R4) 1x2 Two Illicit x Lilikoi R5) 3x4 Kya Khoob Lagti Ho x Joe's Legacy R6) 2x3 Riodini x Dragon Leap R7) 7x12 Aim Smart x Hypnos R8) 5x13 Justamaize x The Good Fight R9) 7x12 Winter Bride x Dama Zorro R10) 3x6 Showdown x Hoist Good luck, everyone. Enjoy ! 😊

Is this Geoff at the top ! Hope he has't made his run too soon. On this sort of form he could make 'the cut' for the Mighty Blues mid-Jan. No promises ... but he could well find himself in the equation. 😁

I'm looking to these likely sorts today to keep the momentum going :- R1 7x8 Foogayzee x Mongolian Dynasty R2 9x13 Craftyaffair x Mannie's Power R3 8x12 Let Me Tell Ya x Rail Queen R4 7x8 BB Starring Role x Brahma Sunset R5 1x8 She's Not Bad x Penny Royal R6 6x11 BB It's So Easy x Festivity R7 5x8 Hay Tiger x Daytona Red R8 2x3 Uncle Bro x Flourishing R9 1x2 Collingwood x Hardyo Thank you, PJ, and good luck to everyone today.

You're safe on the staff J Plodded..................... at present. Keep those successful BBs coming ...........and you'll stay that way. 😜

Today will be my Joker play, please PJ. Which means I'll definitely need to nail my Best Bets - hopefully Best Bet Quinellas x2 ...... but let's not be greedy ! 😂 R1 : 1x11 Pondering x Seven Seas R2 : 4x8 King's Capital x Cate Blanco R3 : 6x8 La Feelya x Ristretto BEST BET R4 : 1x9 Vladivostok x Always Sacred BEST BET R5 : 1x7 Maninthesky x White Hibiscus R6 : 5x6 Mongolianconqueror x Athena Baby R7 : 2x5 Even Chance x Reliable Hunter R8 : 2x6 Fast Foils x Dargo Thanks, PJ. Good luck, everyone.

Paid $39 on the Tote but closed off at $81 on the Fixed ! Fixed was certainly the way to go for anyone at all interested ....and there certainly wouldn't have been many.

haha .... good point. Looks like I'm getting a bit cocky after a surprise win yesterday. Gee managed without Aussie selections two days back, so maybe just following his example. In reality I could well be needing Eagle Farm, so I'll go 7 & 9 at that venue, PJ. Thanks for the alert.

hmmm ... so what to do ? ....... follow the champion jockey Chris Johnson ? follow the country's leading rider Kozzi Asano ? copy and paste Just Plodded's selections, as Just Plodded is a 'gun' on South Island racing ? Difficult day, and certainly not one where I'm considering a Joker play. I missed that boat yesterday. Hopefully these likely sorts will do the job for me today :- R1) 3x8 R2) 2x4 R3) 7x10 R4) 2x8 Best Bet R5) 1x4 R6) 4x13 Best Bet R7) 2x3 R8) 7x11 R9) 2x5 Thanks PJ, and good luck to everyone. This looks more like Gee's 'go' today.

hehe ....I love that Rotorua .......but it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings ...... and Gosford ..... well ..... that could snap me abruptly back to reality. I'm sure there'll be several BBs floating around for the Gosford race. Thanks, PJ.

I have paid a lot more attention to scratchings in the past couple of comps .... cos the last thing I want is to be saddled with the horse that is the last number in the book. I'm sure the last number comes in occasionally.... but nowhere near as often as the TAB Sub comes in. Has anyone had a success with the last number subbed in ? I'm sure the change has been a good one .... as many people over the years got 'nutted' out of a win by a horse their opponent never chose.

Rotorua one of my favourite venues, so I'm expecting big things. R1) 3x7 R2) 3x6 BEST BET R3) 4x5 R4) 9x11 R5) 1x5 R6) 3x4 R7) 1x11 BEST BET R8) 2x3 Thanks, PJ.

Scratching Replacement for me, please PJ. Race 8 8-Spring Heat is scratched ; replaced now by 9-Pretty To Sea Thanks, PJ.
