TooFast

These rival teams have seen us 'Too Fast' s looming large in the rear view mirror - and have maybe conceded ? 😂

Good morning, folks ! ☺️ The clock is ticking now for we 'Too Fast' s .... last chance saloon .... but we're in this, to win this .... Jack, Geoff, Stevie P, Robert .... we'll shine today. Lert's bring this home, boys, 10 points from our Joker play today, please PJ. Good luck to my rival today, longtime Super Comp player and all-round good guy, Roland. Roland has proven over the years the ability to come from nowhere with a longshot or two ....one can never feel safe playing this guy. OK .... down to it. Do your stuff these ones. I'm expecting plenty from you. R1) 5 - Trendy Belt & 6 - Cicciolina R2) 8 - Celtic Wonder & 9 - Burgundy Rose R3 3 - Viridine & 4 - Zoutori R4) 4 - One Prize One Goal & 11 - Harlem 'N' Co R5) 3 - Lincoln Star & 6 - Rock With Choux R6) 3 - Darscape Princess & 6 - Heni BEST BET NZ R7) 4 - Savatiano & 9 - Pohutukawa R8) 2 - Bivouac & 12 - Libertini R9) 1 - Shadow Hero & 3 - Thought Of That R10) 6 - Fierce Impact & 13- Rock BEST BET Aus Enjoy a wonderful day's racing, everyone. Thank you, PJ, for another superb PJ Super Comp. Don't be surprised to see the 'Too Fast' s in the winner's stall, folks. I've got a good feeling about this. Cheers, Howie

Thanks for your thoughts Maxi & Rees. All input gladly accepted and appreciated. Personally I think I'd lean more towards Maxi's idea of going for a wide range of 'value' bets through the day rather than a more conservative` approach, as it won't be any good getting a 5-0 result (if we're fortunate enough to do that) if we ain't achieved a Team Profit in doing it ! hehe ...so many possibilities. My head's spinning. 😁

So here we are we 'Too Fast's ..... it's been a great past month afterus earlier being left flat-footed in the barrier ....and now here we are at 'crunch' time. A month ago our prospects of making the Championship Round were 200-1, and drifting. Yet here we are with a 'crack', albeit a very tiny 'crack' at the playoffs. But the hurdle to climb is a big one - a 5-0 win with a team profit. The obstacles to that are these :- 'Our opponents 'The Wild Bunch' have been in very steady form the past couple of weeks - they are no easy-beats for sure. We can't afford even one slip-up in a head-to-head, there is no margin for error. I'm not sure we 'Too Fast's are team-profit players with the style that we have - of the 13 rounds played we would have had 1 team-profit success, if that. But this coming Saturday a Team Profit is essential. On the plus side Stevie P and Robert have been in scintillating form; Jack has been chiming in very nicely these few weeks and has played a significant role in getting us back on track. New Gold Card recipient Geoff, the BB king, has been very consistent and always a threat. And the Team Captain has managed a Donald Trump impersonation wonderfully well .... promised much and produced little.😊 So we go in to Saturday with modest expectations, but with a chance. And we value that chance, and hopefully we can grab that chance with all ten hands. Good luck to all those still alive with Championship Round aspirations. I Saturday is gonna be great, a day of much excitement whatever the outcomes. Where else would you get a competition like this ? The supreme competition brilliantly organised and run by the legendary PJ. Just glad to be part of it. Can't wait for Saturday. Enjoy, my friends. ☺️

It was a finely-timed thing ..... Robert (who has been far too fast for most) almost got his selections in before the fields were out ! 😂 This is exactly the sort of foresight and initiative we look for in a candidate before we select players for our 'Too Fast' franchise. What an outstanding player Robert has been for the 'Too Fast's this campaign.

Thank goodness for team-mates ! 😂 Very well done my "teamies" Stevie P (in scintillating form !), Jack getting stronger and stronger the longer the comp goes, the ever-reliable Robert, and birthday boy octagenarian Geoff. Great stuff, boys ! I love that 'Write Your Name' .... saved my blushes in the last just as I was staring a deplorable '0' dollars in the face. Don't think I've ever been a '0' before .... but went perilously close this round. If I never see Te Rapa and Bendigo again it will be far too soon. It must surely be the tracks, and not my poor tipping, because I know everything. 😜 Hard luck this week Ian & the Dynamites - you've been extremely strong competitors right through this comp, and our Too Fast best wishes to you to make the Championship Round and to be a force to be reckoned with in that Championship Round. Well fellow`'TooFast's, we've gone 4 from 4 the past month, seeing off very strong rival teams (albeit narrowly in most instances). So we've done well. Championship Round is most likely still off the table, I don't know how the lie-of-the-land is yet after this just-completed round, but most likely we'll need a 5-0 Team Profit victory over 'The Wild Bunch' in this final round coming up. A big ask ...but we're ready for the challenge. Great comp, extremely competitive, very little between all teams. Thanks very much for your brilliant scoring and updates PJ, and your own tipping is of course consistently first-class. Enjoy the rest of the week, my friends. ☺️

A scratching replacement for me for today, please PJ. Comp R6 1 Beehunter is out replaced now by 8 Vienna Rain. Go you good thing, Vienna Rain. 😊

I'm needing these ones to bring me home over Stevie Zig. Tough day at the office on Monday ....Bendigo will have us all tested as well, methinks. 'Too Fast; with their snouts in front of the Dynamouses so far. .... but not a lot in it. R6) 1x7 Best Bet R7) 1x4 R8) 1x7 R9) 1x3 R10) 4x9 Good luck, Steve Zig. All the very best to my "teamies" Jack, StevieP, Geoff, & Robert. We can do this. Thanks, PJ.

Thanks Maxi .... good spot .... Geoff's '60th' tomorrow 29 Oct. He'll be hoping for many winners today and Wednesday to suitably mark the occasion.

'Too Fast' planned many moons back to have a second Joker crack at 'The Wild Bunch' in the final round, after first joker play against them proved a dismal failure and was primarily responsible for us being consigned to the back half of the field ever since ! Going to the well a second time. Needing 10 points this weekend to have any chance whatsoever at making the playoffs. Hopefully. What could possibly go wrong ?? 😂. I ask you Gee and Jen, what could possiby go wrong ? hehe

I used up my daily quota of 'likes' many posts back, so if you see something that I haven't 'liked' that you thought I would have 'liked' then please consider it as 'liked.' Notwithstanding that, excluded from potential but not substantiated 'likes' were the selections of the Dynamouses, which in many cases were simply rubbish and definitely couldn't be 'liked' even if I were in a position to be able to 'like them' which in fact I wasn't as my quota had been fully utilised. Just saying. 😂 When Geoff started playing PJ Super Comps he had just left High School. Tomorrow 28 Oct Geoff celebrates his '60th' birthday, and will do it in style by helping take down the Dynamouses Monday and Wednesday. Happy Birthday, Geoff. True blue Mighty Blue.

Scratching Replacements (never a good sign 😟 ) for Howie for the 'Too Fast' empire :- R4) 5-The Mitigator is gone ; in steps 4 Magnum for the slam dunk on the dynamices' aspirations R5) 5-Shezathinka is out ; in steps 8 Polzeath to reign terror upon the dynamouses stab-in-the-dark and hope Joker play. 😃 Enjoy your day, everyone. I'm sure we 'Too Fast' illuminairies will. Watch this space. 😜

Let's go with these, to put us Too Fasts 1-0 up. Tough opponent though in Stevie Zig .... I'll have to be right on my game. Good luck, Stevie. R1) 4x11 R2) 4x10 R3) 1x3 Best Bet R4) 5x8 R5) 4x5 Thanks, PJ. Surely ..... Too Fast ...... much Too Fast ...... again. Can't believe we're not leading this comp, with the talent-packed line=up at our disposal. Vagaries of sport, I guess. ☺️

Ok, Jack, Stevie P, Robert & Geoff ...........seems to be plenty of misplaced confidence fair oozing out of the Dynamites. Off the back of a hat-trick of victories these past 3 weeks over much-vaunted opposition the 'Under The Radar', the 'Five-O', and the 'La Bogs' ....I think we Too Fasts are gonna really let the handbrake off this mid-week round and send these lippy dynamouses (or dynamice to the more educated of you) plummeting down the leaderboard. We'll spare none of them. 5-0 ! 😀 Ok teamies, let's get in behind the rallying call. Let's do this, fellas. Just too d#mn fast !

Some very skilled selectors had Chief Ironside as Best Bet ! namely one PJ and one Gordy ! Well done, fellas.

I'm gonna have to find several lengths today to keep current comp sensation 'Ashoka' in sight. But I'm confident I'll be able to find the line with these ones, and maybe produce a "boilover" upset win to help our 'Far Too Fast' cause along. Geoff steadfastly refused to 'sub in' against 'Ashoka' to help me out today, to do a swap .... with Geoff's words being " I didn't get where I am today by facing up to strong challenges head-on" or words to that effect - so I guess it's me against 'Ashoka' hoping against hope that my rival will indeed produce " a shocker". 😂 Come on you following 20 equine forces to be reckoned with ..... bums into gear and let's get Howie home :- R1: 4x6 Best Bet NZ R2: 2x10 R3: 1x4 R4: 6x11 R5: 3x5 R6: 1x3 R7: 4x5 R8: 6x10 R9: 9x10 Best Bet AUS R10: 4x5 Many thanks again for this fine comp, PJ. Good luck to my" teamies" Geoff, StevieP, Robert & Jack. Let's carry on our winning way. Hope you keep us in sight Rees and his trusty band of La Bogs, and that you get something out of the day, however small. All Blacks by 20. Far Too Fast by 5. Enjoy.

Great minds thinking alike, Geoff ! You'd think we were twins ….. instead of me being a good 10 years younger. 😉

Nice one, PJ. 😁 There I was on 'cloud nine' for a few minutes …. basking in a great 'Too Fast' comeback today Now I'm reduced to about 'cloud three' …. contemplating coming up against a guy whose individual score today exceeded the team score of 7 teams !! Geoff …………… that 'swap the individual matchups' "thingie" is starting to look an attractive proposition ……..... you'd have Ashoka's measure, wouldn't you ?? ☺️.. You'd better 'pm' me, cos Pete & Hesi aren't big on foul language on their site forums. hehe

tow Stevie P you were absolutely right ….Mer de Glace certainly won like the 'Bet-of-the-Day' ….and I'm glad you took Geoff along for the ride. Welll done you two ! Thanks for a good, closely fought match John, Hesi and the Five O's ….. you had it won everywhere but on the line. Hope you guys make it into the Championship Round - we 'Too Fast's are ourselves a long, long way away from that - and will need a 10-point Joker win over The Wild Bunch to have any chance. But still, wins in successive weeks over the Comp leaders the 'Red Hots' and now the formidable 'Five-0' team has certainly been very encouraging for us. Special congrats today to Ashoka for La Bog who played an absolute 'blinder'. Well done, sir. Captaincy aspirations ?? Possibly not, with Rees an inspirational leader with a great BB play in the last. Thanks very much for another very enjoyable PJ Super Comp day today , PJ. Heaps of fun, as always.

Scratching Replacement for me today, please PJ. One of the princesses is gone-burger. Comp R3 3-Princess Rihana is out ; replaced by 6 - Saint Croix. Thanks, PJ.

………….and now for my selections for this big raceday highlighted by the 'Everest' and the 'Caulfield Cup'. ' Far Too Fast' fair "buzzing" after a victory last week over the very well-performed comp leaders the 'Red Hots' …. and it's fair to say we're gonna be flying home the final 200m of this great PJ Super Comp. Very tough opponents today in the 'Five 0' …. so we're gonna have to produce more of what we came up with last week against the` 'Red Hots'. Stevie P, Robert and Geoff in great form, Jack starting to round into it nicely, and a Team Captain who's on a trot of four straight individual losses but looking to bounce back today to prove that form all wrong when up against his nemesis 'Hesi'. Good luck to you, Hesi, and also to John and the other 'Five 0's. We 'Too Fast's are expecting a good close match. I'm with :- R1) 3x5 Londonderry Air x Pamir R2) 5x10 Verry Flash x Tweedledee R3) 3x7 Princess Rihanna x Wisdom Patch R4) 3x8 Princess Kereru x Pop Star Princess (Princesses here, Princesses there, …...Princesses everywhere ! 😁 ) R5) 2x7 Okay Pal x Kali Best Bet NZ R6) 1x3 Victorem x Noble Boy R7) 1x3 Brutal x Brave Song R8) 4x9 Miss Leonidas x God of Thunder Best Bet AUS (I'm following Rees' good advice ....always take BB before R10 😂 ) R9) 2x11 Pierata x Arcadia Queen R10) 11x14 Constantinople x Vow And Declare Thank you very much for this comp, PJ. Enjoy an excellent day's racing everyone.

G'day, folks. These are ROBERT's selections for 'Too Fast' today as this team star looks to match motors with the well-performed 'Virgil' for the Five-0 :- R1) 1x2 R2) 6x9 R3) 2x3 R4) 2x5 (picked 10 London Express, but I see that is scratched, so I've chucked in Lucyinrotorua 😊 to give a sight) R5) 6x7 Best Bet NZ R6) 3x12 R7) 1x13 R8) 4x5 R9) 4x11 R10) 1x22 Best Bet Aus ( we'll revert to the TAB fav. if 22 Prince of Arran is scratched, as seems a distinct possibility) Bring it home, Robert ! Going great guns. Thanks, PJ.

wow what a Captain this Rees is. La Bog is absolutely flying ! 👍

Will be cheering on a Trekking -Bons Away quinella in the last, in that finishing order. I selected Despatch ….. but I don't want it anywhere near the winning post. Just maybe we can do this.
