Globederby19 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 That was a most nerve racking start to the comp and one hell of a game today. Still not sure of the outcome apart from 3 of us having the winner in the last, so might make a bigger total and bonus point if we have lost. Great game KK,s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 ROUND 1- Saturday August 5 Comp Race 10 - Flemington R10 1st - 2 Benedetta W-$1.90 2nd - 13 William Thomas Q-$39.20 Scr: 3,8,14,15 3 BLUES** $847.00 2 (x 2 Joker play) = 4 points 2 CHIEFS $775.00 0 points Topsy-turvy match where the lead changed 4 times but the Joker-playing Blues prevailed in the last with Moose bagging a BB on the hot fave to down Lightning Blue (also on the winner). All the other Blues also grabbed a win with BBs for Pete and Roland while Robert and Steve P snagged BBs for The Chiefs. A fairly low-scoring affair with Gordy Man of the Match defeating Chiefs MVP Steve P. 116 Roland 188 Robert 348 Gordy 249 Steve P 130 Pete 78 Gee 145 Moose 141 Lightning Blue 108 Smiler 119 Jack 3 FERDIES $1471.60 3 points 2 TURBOS $1234.00 0 points A few nervous moments for the Ferdies when Pioneer River loomed late but the fave held on, tipped by everyone while Ray and Hesi bagged BBs. The Ferdies added a bonus point for a team profit although new signing Rees will have to lift his game 😂 Man of the match was Our Maizcay who tipped 7 winners and landed both BBs while the ever reliable Heather was 'Naki MVP and unlucky to draw OM. The Turbos put up a strong fight and led for the first 8 races in a highly competitive match. 331.20 PJ 328 Blind Squirrel 380.40 Heather 519 Our Maizcay 327 Maurice 93 Gary 180 Hesi 230 Ziggy 253 Geoff 64 Ray 1 MAGPIES $815.00 0 points 4 HIGHLANDERS $1056.00 3 points The Highlanders had it won before the last despite what the scorer tried to tell you. Only Secret Squirrel and Craig missed the final winner with Rob adding a BB. The Magpies had led 3-0 early in the day before the Otago lads fired up with Tonka Man of the Match edging MC who tipped 6 winners. Antz just edged Richie for HB MVP honours. The Highlanders took a bonus point for the 4-1 margin. 225 Richie 288 Midnight Caller 185 Stevie N 140 Rob 74 Secret Squirrel 200 Howie 93 Ian 117 Craig 238 Antz 311 Tonka 2 SWAMP FOXES $1274.20 1 point 3 KAURI KATS $1068.00 2 points Ranting and Arbitration never got into the finish so the Kauri Kats held on to win with Jen scoring the last $$ with a BB on the winning fave and just pipping Graeme for Kats' MVP honours. All the Swamp Foxes bar Maria got the final winner with Rees and Punter Pete adding BBs. After a quiet start in the South Rees came through in Oz to take Man of the Match honours for The Swampies who gave the Kats a fair run for the their money and took a bonus point for a higher aggregate. 205 Black Caviar 26 Max 295 Jamison 330 Graeme 90.20 Maria 256 Pam 400.80 Rees 122 Sharne 283.20 Punter Pete 334 Jen TABLE AFTER ROUND 1 1st 4 BLUES* $847.00 2nd 3 FERDIES $1471.60 3rd 3 HIGHLANDERS $1056.00 4th 2 KAURI KATS $1068.00 5th 1 SWAMP FOXES $1274.20 6th 0 TURBOS $1234.00 7th 0 MAGPIES $815.00 8th 0 CHIEFS $775.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 A bit disappointing only getting 4 points for a joker play but we will take it. Thanks Chiefs for a close contest which could have easily gone your way.
