How about offer him a million ? a house ? a farm ? a spot in PJ's comp ? anything to lure him there ??

First time I've ever seen that in a footy match yes but the Pomeranians have some definite weaknesses, including Mr Bairstow's inability to catch anything remotely difficult behind the stumps. cf Mr D, S for Sandpaper Warner who snaffles everything in sight. Max has some admiration for cap'n Cummins, who leads by example and is a cool customer at a media conference. MM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 Round 8 - Saturday July 8 Comp Race 7 - Caulfield R8 1st - 13 Sigh W-$6.70 P-$2.50 2nd - 9 Mileva P-$2.40 3rd - 3 General Beau P-$2.50 Q - $24.50 TF - $332.10 Scr: 5 An exciting finish as we lost 2nd placed Ray plus Maurice, Sharne, Ian & MC but Rob held on despite drawing a blank resisting a fast finish from Richie who landed a BB quinella and was just shy of the trifecta with his other tip Ingratiating 5th which would have won if for him. Trotslover, with a BB on the Moody winner, took 3rd with Gordy (also a BB on the winner) and Our Maizcay (quinella) next. Thanks for playing everyone and a big congrats to Gee who has qualified for the Grand Final on July 29. The top 4 today all in profit while 5 collected off every race on a tricky day which only saw 18 survive from 33 who started. Next week we go to any or both of Ruakaka and Trentham and also Morphettville.

PWJ Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 Just my opinion but I think comp race 5 is the key to winning today's comp. Wide open with a $5.50 fave (Bella Luce, who has now just had a change of jockey) and more than a third of today's contestants have it as their BB race. If you are ahead with two to go you might have a ticket to the GF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all sorts of action. some even jumped the rail and were on the inside . Heart in mouth throughout. You'll need a whiskey or similar at the end of this race. and that's just if you watch it , let alone be in it. craziness on legs......
