PWJ Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 To win- The Blues need: Tyzone or Chapter and Verse to win for Geoff OR Balboa Rocks to win for Pete OR (possibly) a Scallopini/Balboa Rocks Q (in that order) for Pete OR (possibly) a Scallopini/Chapter and Verse Q for Gordy The Turbos need: Tyzone to win for Blind Squirrel (must pay $11.30+ or Scallopini complete the Q) OR Penino to win for Steve P (must pay $22.10+ or Scallopini complet the Q) OR Lim's Lightning to win for Rees The Ferdies need: Scallopini to win for Ashoka and Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Round 3 - Saturday Jan 25 Race 10 - Sunshine Coast R91st - 11 Scallopini W-$5.30 2nd - 2 Niccanova Q-$28.80 Scr: 4,7,14,15,23 3 CRUSADERS (3rd) $1621.60 3 points 2 TURBOS (1st) $1281.00 0 points HURRICANES (2nd) $1105.00 None of the Turbos 3 hopes yelped in the last so the Crusaders held on to win, defeating the table leaders, and adding a bonus point for a team profit. Tom bagged a BB in the last and became one of 3 'Saders to score over $400 (Man of the Match Rex and Rob were the others). The Turbos nevertheless finished strongly with all but Gary on the Snitzel winner with BBs added by Ray, Blind Squirrel and Manawatu MVP Ray. The Hurricanes also finished well with all but Hesi on the O'Dea winner with BBs added by John, Virgil and TC whilw Porky - their MVP - added his 2nd quinella of the day but it wasn't enough to catch The Turbos' aggregate so no points heading to Wellington. 488.80 Rex 369.80 Blind Squirrel 304.80 Robert 137.20 Steve P 401.20 Tom 425.00 Ray 405.40 Rob 226.00 Rees 21.40 Craig 132.00 Gary 3 CHIEFS (5th) $828.20 2 points 2 BLUES (4th) $992.80 1 point The Blues had 3 chances to turn the match around in the last but none got close however collects from Pete (with a BB), Gordy and Howie ensured a higher aggregate and a consolation bonus point for the Auks. The Chiefs' final $$ came from Punter Pete (with a 2nd quinella) and Jack. Howie just edged Roland for Man of the Match honours with Chiefs' MVP Ian just a smidgen behind. 229.40 Punter Pete 98.20 Geoff 223.40 Stevie N 189.40 Gordy 136.00 Jack 240.20 Roland 0.00 Gee 243.40 Howie 239.40 Ian 221.60 Pete 3 FERDIES (7th) $1342.20 3 points 2 KAURI KATS (5th) $1018.20 0 points The upset of the day saw The Ferdies come back from the death to steal the match from the Kauri Kats (who all missed in the last) with Ashoka and Heather snagging BBs to get up and collar Graeme and Jen respectively - well done people ! The last gasp spurt also carried the Ferdies past the team profit mark for a bonus point. Maurice put up a massive effort to take Man of the Match honours while Sharne - who keeps the scorer winless (well done that girl) - was Kauri Kats MVP. 624.40 Maurice 162.00 Maximus 294.40 PJ 349.00 Sharne 182.20 Heather 82.00 Jen 220.80 Ashoka 128.00 Graeme 21.40 Zac (OPD) 297.20 Rocky HURRICANES (2nd) - Bye 199.00 John 261.20 The Crucible 11.00 Hesi 188.00 Virgil 445.80 Porky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Well done Crusaders. Hard to beat when the 3Rs launch an all out attack like that. Unlucky to lose with that score Tom. Hope to see you guys in the final. Brave effort Turbos.We fought hard to get the 3rd highest team aggregate of the day. To come away with zero points is a kick in the guts but we'll be stronger for it. Small consolation I know but the Canes are the 3rd ghost team we've knocked back in 3 weeks....

PWJ Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 THE TABLE after Round 3 1st 6 CRUSADERS $4120.60 2nd 5 TURBOS $3360.80 3rd 4 BLUES^ $2941.20 4th 4 CHIEFS^ $2676.80 5th 3 HURRICANES*^ $3619.20 6th 3 FERDIES* $3276.20 7th 2 KAURI KATS* $3032.20 ^ bye used * joker used The Crusaders' hard fought win today took them up two places to the top of the table and relegating their victims The Turbos back to 2nd spot. The Blues may have lost but the bonus point for a higher aggregate actually took them up a spot to 3rd while their conquerors The Chiefs advanced 2 places to secure 4th. The bye wasn't kind to The Hurricanes who failed to register a point and slipped to 5th. The Ferdies' last gasp win enabled them to climb out of the cellar, their place taken by their victims - The Kauri Kats - who dropped two spots. All very close after three rounds with just 4 points separating top to bottom.The top 4 sides still have a Joker up their sleeve to boot.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooFast Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Congrats to the Chiefs on a job well done ..... 2 valuable points into your kitty to keep your hopes alive. Hard luck my guys .... we weren't far away and it's good to have at least come away with a 'higher team aggregate' point as reward for our day's efforts. We still have a Joker up our sleeve, and have come away with at least 1 point in every game we've played to date, so we're right in this. In this, to win this ! Thank you very much for your scoring and commentary today, PJ. A good day's racing. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt that revelation at weasel burrow headquarters will trigger a proliferation of pie graphs, diagrams, and other miscellaneous reports outlining in details alleged fiscal deficiencies in the Mighty Blues bank balance.

Maximus Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Media Release from Mustelid PR Mustelid lovers around the world (both of them) are breathing a sigh of relief after family leader and All Round Good Guy Mustelid Maximus was rushed to hospital last night after sustaining a nasty injury at the races. Speaking from his hospital bed this morning Max said things had been going rather well at Karaka Millions Night when he suddenly became violently ill after eating a small plate of Scallopinis imported from Queensland's Sunshine Coast. "Knew I should've left those bleeding Ozzie bawsteds alone. They're either too hot; too cold too small or freakin' poisonous ...don't know why anyone would wanna live there," said the clearly petulant Mustelid. "But I am on the mend and expect to be back tougher and wiser by the weekend when I have to lead my feisty feline friends into the fray against a bunch of shaky Crew-sadists who may be feeling a mite overconfident." It's understood MM will be discharged later tomorrow and return home to Bedrock, under the care of his beloved partner Mrs W, a qualified and very experienced massage therapist and grief counsellor Edited January 26, 2020 by Maximus 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Gallivant Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi All Firstly commiserations to the Mighty Maximus ….. Speedy recovery mate. To the Turbos ….. great match on Saturday ….. great scoring if one was able to punt our selections between both teams nearly $2400 return would have been sweet on P J'S comp method. To my fellow teamies ….. superb picking …… I hope like me u are enjoying that winning feeling. While I am mindful we are currently at the top does not mean its a cake walk to the finals as PJ pointed out points are very close from first to seventh anything can and will happen. To PJ Many thanks for the crusaders updates and your scoring for us all. Hope the sales proved fruitful. Finally we are up against the Kauri Puddy Tats this weekend …. so be weary Crusaders team they are curious, precocious and potentially killers ….. but we like them all. If any one can answer this ? I would be obliged …. How does a weasel become a cat/kat and then return to his Muskily Musetilid !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 3 minutes ago, Say No More said: Canes would like Sitarist to kick off their fight back in the next, with Kilowatt or Zedaam to run 2nd - not asking too much!? Shakti or King Of The Dance would have the Canes ready to wave the white flag. Comignaghi is riding a treat and going for the`hattrick -so you guys may well have Sitarist do the job for you. I'm thinking Shakti and King Of The Dance will have to lift considerably to trouble the scorer. Still....Roland's form has been excellent ....maybe he's onto something.
