pete Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I agree that it basically takes a race out of the comp - although we did include Winx in previous years. I'll vote to exclude it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Nicks Off Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I vote not to include any race with horses quoted at $1-30 or less If Te Akau Shark or Melody Belle was also in the race I’m all for it When Winx was racing I recall 38 out of the 40 participants picked Winx all 38 including the two who didn’t pick Winx all made a loss on the race, imagine that 38 people picked the winner and not one person won Many of the Saturday comps goes down to the last race where things can change, imagine if Winx was the last comp race, how flat would the last race feel the result would have been known in comp race 9 Also when I punt I punt to make profit anyone going into the TAB on Saturday and putting a $100 on Catalyst and $100 a win on something else in the race I’ve had my say and either way I will be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPlodded Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Why don’t I just pick it in Craig’s 5 Winners comp, then we won’t have to worry about it winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I'm more concerned about this My desktop seems to have learnt and won't load Ratshit Cafe, but only when I am bored and have 5 minutes to spare that I possibly could not think of doing anything else when I am out, that I have a look on my swish new Samsung 10. Whoah!, what do I see, people claiming that Maria runs the best comps, which are very sparse on Ratshit Cafe at the moment Have they not heard of PJ and his iconic Super Comps, that have been going for probably 15 years. Sacrilege to even mention anything else in the same breath The sorcerer and the sorcerer's apprentice, a long way to go yet Keep Catalyst's race in, saves a few from a downtrou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos1 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I reckon you should include the Rating 65 from Riccarton Park....I hear there's a horse working well 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos1 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Thats the 1800m race, But seriously Mr Tiz Trophy should be 1 of the races ...you can still make money...quinella! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(No put-downs, abusive comments etc) FWIW, Mustelid Maximus says keep Catalyst's race in. Racing is a funny game, hotpots get beat frequently (could be scratched at the barrier, jockey fall off, woteva). Even when Winx was Winx it was intriguing deciding whether or not to include her in your picks, and the quinellla divvie was sometimes surprisingly high when a wuffie lobbed in to 2nd.

Maximus Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 RE; picking the quinella in a field dominated by a odds-on fave ...example QE2 Stakes 2018 Winx ($1.20) beat Gailo Chop ($2.70 pl) in a 10-horse field. Quinella $6.20 ... A BBQ selection returned $48.80.... could easily be enough to keep yer snout ahead (or take the lead) in PJ's SuperDuper Comp MM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 By my reading it looks like 7-4 in favour so I have left it in. It's in the middle of the 'card:" and, as has been pointed out, quinellas can be points of difference even with a short priced fave. After all is he unbeatable ?? Bavella ran 2nd in the Gold Trail (beating Loire) last time she was freshened and Madam Hass is going to be a very good horse. They both receive 4kgs. I have thrown in a real doozy for the final comp race - The Sunshine Coast Cup where any one of at least a dozen could triumph. Great final comp race with 18 potential runners on a big track. Heaps of chances ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
