PWJ Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 ROUND 9 - Saturday September 30 Comp Race 10 - Randwick R9 1st - 14 Just Fine W-$1.60 2nd - 8 Spirit Ridge Q-$42.50 Scr: 1,6,16 2 MAGPIES (2nd) $824.80 1 point 3 SWAMP FOXES (3rd) $768.40 2 points Neither Al Aarbir or Benaud could figure in the finish so the Swamp Foxes held on to win. Black Caviar got the final winner for them while all the Magpies replied with Ian getting his winner to outfox Maria and restrict The Swampies from scoring bonus points of which they took one themselves for a higher aggregate. Stevie N was Man of the Match just pipping Foxes MVP Punter Pete. 272.40 Stevie N 58 Rees 77 Secret Squirrel 158 Jamison 236.40 Richie 269.20 Punter Pete 81 Ian 65 Maria 158 Antz 218.20 Black Caviar 3 FERDIES* (1st) $770.40 2 (x 2 Joker play) = 4 points 2 CHIEFS (8th) $923.60 1 point Hesi finally broke his duck in the last to get his first win of the comp and get the Ferdies home after some nervous moments - well done cobber ! The final winner tipped by all bar Chiefs duo Gee and LB and Ferdies pair PJ and Moz (who went close to winning it himself with the gutsy Spirit Ridge). Hesi, Heather and Chiefs trio Steve P, Robert and Jack doubled up with BBs in the last. Lightning Blue was Man of the Match and takes kudos for defeating the previously unbeaten Moz while Geoff was MVP for The 'Naki who doubled their points with a (barely) successful Joker play. Well played and bad luck to The Chiefs who are certainly on the improve. Well done Jack - too good for me today. 137 Maurice 412.20 Lightning Blue 115 PJ 192.20 Jack 180.20 Heather 157.20 Robert 241.20 Geoff 74 Steve P 97 Hesi 88 Gee 1 KAURI KATS (6th) $959.40 0 points 4 BLUES* (4th) $1371.40 4 (x 2 Joker play) = 8 points Major Beel never yelped for The Kats so The Blues held on to win crowning a successful Joker play with bonus points for team profit and 4-1 margin, doubled. The Metrop winner tipped by Pete (with a BB) and Smiler for the victors while Kauri Kats' MVP Pam also bagged a BB. Pete put up the day's mammoths score to take the Man of the Match crown helped in no small part with his Rhodesian success - well done ! Strange match with 3 competitors sure to appear on the "worst scores" list and one of those won ! 317.20 Sharne 786 Pete 197 Jen 224.40 Smiler 426.20 Pam 234 Roland 0 Max 104 Gordy 19 Graeme 23 Moose 2 HIGHLANDERS (5th) $797.20 0 points 3 TURBOS*** (7th) $1077.60 2 (x 3 Triple Joker play) = 6 points The Highlanders had 4 chances to snatch it at the death but only Kalapour ran on to mildly threaten but the two in front had bolted so The Turbos' Triple Joker play succeeded but not quite by the margin they anticipated when they led 5-0 for a couple of races in the middle of the day thanks to a fightback from Howie and Otago MVP Rob. The latter tipped the Metrop winner with a BB as did Zig and Blind Squirrel as all 5 Turbos found the winning fave in the last. Man of the Match was Ziggy showing a return to form. The Turbos triple their winning points to bank half a dozen which should help their table position. 240 Howie 139 Ray 88 Tonka 116 Our Maizcay 23 Craig 356.40 Ziggy 123 Midnight Caller 238.20 Blind Squirrel 323.20 Rob 228 Gary TABLE AFTER ROUND 9 1st 30 FERDIES* $11,114.00 2nd 27 MAGPIES $11,044.80 3rd 22 BLUES* $9908.60 4th 19 SWAMP FOXES* $10,025.60 5th 14 TURBOS^ $9681.80 6th 12 HIGHLANDERS $9385.80 7th 9 KAURI KATS $7646.00 8th 5 CHIEFS $8446.80 ^ Triple Joker play * Double Joker play The Ferdies lesser Joker success today saw them open a 3 point advantage on the leaderboard over the Magpies who lost but still took a bonus point. The Joker play from The Blues proved successful and they move up to 3rd at the expense of the Swamp Foxes who nevertheless recorded a win themselves. The day's big movers were The Turbos with a successful Triple Joker play lifting them two spots and causing the Highlanders and Kauri Kats - who each failed to win today - to drop a place. The Chiefs lost but scored a valuable bonus point. Remember the Top Four make the Finals playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I had posted a Stewards Enquiry midway thru the Comp...but, as you say, it made no diff in the end cos pete blew the KKs 'higher aggregate' chances away with his Rhodesian ridgeback!

Preparing for your battle with Mr Gee in the next round. Triple Joker you say ?? Think the Chiefs around the campfire here might be able to equal that too. We've smoked up a bit of the good stuff in the Peace-pipe at the Chiefs this week and feeling a triple Joker can see the Chiefs back on the warpath. 😆 meanwhile , suck up some more of this peace-pipe captain Cowboy Max. It could help you retain your Score !!! 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
