  1. I'm not sure I like the look of this Team Pumped - bloused in the last race by one horse! Well played No Eye Deer - you got the bob in at the right time. Gordy you were too tough for me - as Jake the Muss said "Too many weights, not enough speed work" for the Squirrel. We will return victorious though - Team PUMPED
  2. Morning all - nice day in lockdown central but it's time to get PUMPED (the Squirrel has been working out....as if!!) Good luck Gordy but better luck Team Pumped! Race 1. 3, 6 Race 2. 8, 14 Race 3. 4, 5 BB Race 4. 3, 12 Race 5. 3, 5 Race 6. 3, 6 Race 7. 8, 10 Race 8. 4, 6 Race 9. 2, 13 Race 10. 8, 16 BB Thanks PJ - excited to be back in action in a Super duper comp!
  3. The Northern Trust could be a real showstopper but I do fancy Xander Schauffle and Victor Hovland for top 5 finishes. Even though I think he is a putz Patrick Reed is at nice odds to win the tourny while my roughie for top 5 & 10 is Cameron Smith who played pretty well in the PGA without a lot of reward. Have had a little nibble at the following for the British Open (winner) - Nasa Hataoka and Yiu Liu but will reassess after the first round.
  4. Outstanding with Johnston and Horsfield MC!!!
  5. Last chance for glory Turbo lads! Best of british Hesi - take it easy on the charming squirrel ๐Ÿ˜† Race 1. 1, 6 Race 2. 7, 14 Race 3. 2, 5 Race 4. 5, 11 BB Race 5. 3, 6 Race 6. 2, 3 Race 7. 3, 7 Race 8. 2, 3 Race 9. 2, 8 Race 10. 8, 9 BB Thanks PJ another cracking comp!
  6. Good stuff fellas -- will be watching with interest as no golf bets for me this week
  7. There goes my trip to Taupo races tomorrow! Can't see them going ahead now unless there is some fancy footwork as no gatherings above 100 allowed for 3 days around the country in Level 2. Hope that the other venues from Thursday on can put in place their Level 2 processes pretty quickly or we might have a number of meetings cancelled across all codes for a few days.
  8. No luck VC as I was sure Koepka would finish in top 10 given how well he had played the first 3 rounds! Magic bet MC - Morrikawa was just sensational on the back 9 and never looked like missing a shot!
  9. Good luck MC - I don't want to count my chickens with Day just yet - look at how some of those leaders went backwards but I am confident!! Best of luck with your top 20's and Morikawa ( a good bet I think) - want to see Alker go well too as actually played a little golf against him many haircuts ago when he was an amateur in Hamilton (my god feels like a century ago hahahaha)!!
  10. Thanks Craig - I never saw it either - mind you it's been a cracking battle so I was kind of resigned to a loss with honour (which is still likely)
  11. Where there is life there is hope PJ - I think the Turbo's can win if 12 beats 11 and the quinella pays enough - a bloody miracle required though!!
  12. Here we go Turbo's - good luck Rob but beware the Squirrel's sneak attack! Race 1. 4, 12 Race 2. 1, 5 Race 3. 6, 16 Race 4. 2, 13 BB Race 5. 4, 9 Race 6. 5, 10 Race 7. 2, 5 Race 8. 4, 5 Race 9. 5, 8 Race 10. 11, 12 BB Go Turbo's Go Turbo's - it's ya birthday!!
  13. Feeling good about the Top 5 collect but wish I'd gone for 1st round leader as well - Reavie disappointing but I've made a nice profit with my top aussie bet still in play. This is shaping up already as a classic with so many good players in contention
  14. Good stuff guys - I normally take 8 or 9 guys at various odds to lead after round 1 but just couldn't narrow it down this time (the year Dustin Johnston led 3 of the 4 i made a killing.) Have backed Reavie to be top 10 overall and top 5 after round 1, Day top 5 after round 1 and had a real lash at Day to be top Aussie at $2.50.
  15. What's your thoughts on the PGA this week MC? Hard to go past Brooks Koepka with his record in the majors and his form last week. Justin Thomas also in the mix and I think Xander Schauffele is rounding in to nice form along with Webb Simpson, Tony Finau and Jason Day (if his back holds up)as well. My roughie for a top 10 finish is Chez Revie who has been playing super well tee to green but can't make any putts - this track rewards those who can get in round in the fairway and hit plenty of greens - that should count out DeChambeau for one!!! I love the majors so I think I will have a few selections around the above!!
  16. I've got Grillo and Noren to win with local boy Timmy Wilkinson to finish top 10. All in with a chance but need big rounds today to be firmly in contention (Barracuda Championship that is)
  17. Time for the Turbo's to hit the GO button! Race 1. 8, 10 Race 2. 4, 13 Race 3. 3, 5 BB Race 4. 4, 14 Race 5. 1, 8 Race 6. 3, 7 Race 7. 2, 7 Race 8. 4, 10 Race 9. 1, 7 Race 10. 5, 9 BB Good lucky Rocky but watch out for the flying squirrel attack!! GO TURBO'S
  18. I concur - think he and the rider of Tipical equally at fault at top of the straight but he didn't show too much inclination to straighten in the last 150m
  19. Morning players - another day of fun and excitement ahead! The squirrel has struck another member of the magnificent James Gang today so good luck Jack - you will be a tough nut to crack so I've brought some special equipment for the task! Race 1. 2, 9 Race 2. 7, 11 Race 3. 1, 8 Race 4. 5, 8 Race 5. 2, 4 BB Race 6. 3, 4 Race 7. 4, 7 BB Race 8. 4, 5 Race 9. 1, 3 Race 10. 9, 11 Go Turbo's !!!!!!!
  20. While it's only small I think my score is $80 PJ - same as Roland๐Ÿ™‚
  21. The Squirrel goes up against mine Capitain from the Winter comp - best of british to ya skip but the crew are restless and I think a mutiny is on the cards! Race 1. 2, 7 Race 2. 4, 11 Race 3. 6, 7 Race 4. 3, 5 Race 5. 3, 4 Race 6. 8, 10 BB Race 7. 8, 9 Race 8. 4, 5 Race 9. 4, 7 Race 10. 4, 9 BB Let's go TURBO's
