Gordy Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Tonka absolutely smashed me in the Aussie races, great picking mate. A real ugly win for the Blues, but we will take it, and thanks Highlanders for taking it to the last. Two rounds to go and we are still in with a chance of making top 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 ROUND 12 - Saturday October 21 Comp Race 10 - Caulfield R9 1st - 2 Without A Fight $9.10 2nd - 6 West Wind Blows Q-$20.80 Scr: 7 2 FERDIES (1st) $607.80 1 point 3 SWAMP FOXES*** (4th) $496.60 2 (x 3 Triple Joker play) = 6 points The Ferdies came so close to snatching a 4-1 win with the gallant runner-up but it wasn't to be and The very relieved Swamp Foxes ran out winners making good use of their Triple Joker play although they were cut back two points at the death with only PJ on the winner bagging a BB quinella to pounce on Punter Pete to pull one back for The Ferdies and give them a higher aggregate for a point. In a low-scoring affair Captain Maria was Swamp Foxes MVP while PJ's late flourish earned him Man of the Match. 304.40 PJ 139.60 Punter Pete 117.40 Heather 172.40 Maria 28 Maurice 40.60 Rees 116 Hesi 35 Jamison 42 Geoff 109 Black Caviar 3 BLUES (3rd) $621.20 2 points 2 HIGHLANDERS (5th) $1315.20 1 point West Wind Blows and Gold Trip tried so hard to get the Highlanders home but they were denied by the Cup winner who was selected by Craig - with a beaut BB quinella to guarantee Man of the Match honours - and Tonka (with a BB) as the Blues all missed. The late flourish from the Otago lads took them to with $5 of a team profit but still ensured a bonus point for a higher aggregate. Craig, with a very big score, was Man of the Match while Smiler was The Blues' MVP. Pete should buy a Lotto ticket.... 59 Roland 0 Rob 152.60 Gordy 428 Tonka 133 Moose 731.60 Craig 40.60 Pete 35 Midnight Caller 236 Smiler 120.60 Howie 3 MAGPIES (2nd) $1015.00 2 points 2 KAURI KATS (7th) $595.00 0 points The Kats looked lined up for a memorable win over The 'Pies but the last race should you should never underestimate a Magpies strategic selection as all 5 Bay boys labeled the Irish-bred winner with BBs added by a trio of Antz, Stevie N and Ian. Ian rolled Rex, Antz finally got ahead of Sharne which was enough to gran the win for The Magpies. Richie almost grabbed Graeme as well which would have seen the Kats off to the SPCA. Jen was nevertheless Match Star for the Kats while Stevie N was 'Pies MVP. No bonus points were scored. Bad luck Kittys. 196 Ian 35 Rex 272.80 Stevie N 312 Jen 243.60 Antz 61.60 Sharne 131.60 Secret Squirrel 14 Max 171 Richie 172.40 Graeme 5 TURBOS* (6th) $1932.40 5 (x 2 Joker play) = 10 points 0 CHIEFS (8th) $528.80 0 points The death blow for Chiefs was dealt in the penultimate race with no way back in the last despite the encouraging performance they had displayed during the day. Steve P bagged a BB in the last to take Waikato MVP honours while Zig also bagged a BB to take Man of the Match honour with a serious total. Ray (also with a BB) ran down jack in the last to give The Turbos a 5-zip scoreline and a perfect 10 point haul from their Joker play. Nice work, fellas ! 296.60 Gary 256 Steve P 549.60 Blind Squirrel 126 Gee 637 Ziggy 35 Lightning Blue 173.20 Our Maizcay 0 Robert 276 Ray 111.80 Jack TABLE AFTER ROUND 12 1st 36 MAGPIES* $14,130.40 2nd 35 FERDIES* $13,927.20 3rd 28 TURBOS*^ $13,516.00 4th 25 SWAMP FOXES^* $12,374.20 -----Finals Qualifying line---------- 5th 25 BLUES* $12,133.60 6th 20 HIGHLANDERS^ $12,781.40 7th 15 KAURI KATS $11,155.20 8th 4 CHIEFS^ $10,688.60 ^ Triple Joker play * Double Joker play The Magpies late win today coupled with the Ferdies only taking a solitary point from their loss sees the Bay Boys back at the top of the table by a single point. The day's big movers were the Turbos who maximized their Joker play to climb three places to 3rd. The Blues won but lost two places due to the meteoric Manawatu rise while The Swamp Foxes Triple Joker play at least saw them hold station. The Highlanders lost a place in defeat. The Kats remain 7th but with two Jokers in hand while The Chiefs have a rent-to-buy option on the cellar. Still a potential 7 Jokers to play in the final two matches of the Round Robin series.

Hesi Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Thanks for the match Maria and your Swampies, too good for us today in a low scoring match, well played. We lead a bit of a charmed life as we still scored a point, and it means we are able to play our 3X joker against the Magpies next week. Thanks as always PJ for providing another afternoon's enjoyment, cheers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
