PWJ Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 ROUND 14 - Saturday November 4 Comp Race 10 - Flemington R9 1st - 17 Cause For Concern $12.70 2nd - 3 Bandersnatch Q-$134.90 Scr: 6,18 4 TURBOS (3rd) $1803.20 4 points 1 MAGPIES*** (1st) $1124.60 0 (x 3 Triple Joker play) = -1 point Our Maizcay bags a BB in the last to roll Richie with Ziggy also on the winner while The Magpies all missed. The Turbos took bonus points for the margin and a team profit to assure themselves of a finals berth. Blind Squirrel just edged OM for Man of the Match honours while Captain Ian was Bay MVP. 420 Gary 164 Stevie N 417.60 Blind Squirrel 198.20 Antz 270 Ziggy 332.60 Ian 280.60 Ray 128.60 Secret Squirrel 415 Our Maizcay 301.20 Richie 1 FERDIES (2nd) $1092.80 0 points 4 BLUES*** (5th) $1523.00 4 (x 3 Triple Joker play) = 12 points The Blues staged a whirlwind finish in the last where Roland bagged a BB to hop past Heather while Gordy also found the final winner to help ensure The Blues secured a team profit to boost their excellent Triple Joker return and claim Man of the Match honours. PJ was MVP for The Ferdies who all missed in the last with a couple on the desperately unlucky Munhamek. 209.60 Heather 293 Roland 144 Maurice 415 Gordy 194 Geoff 245 Moose 381.20 PJ 281 Pete 164 Hesi 289 Smiler 1 CHIEFS* (8th) $1007.00 0 points 4 SWAMP FOXES (4th) $1330.40 4 points The Chiefs all missed in the last where only Captain Maria found the winner and put The Swamp Foxes into team profit mode. Gee broke his duck at last to take Man of the Match honours with a terrific total while Punter Pete, as often happens, was Swampies MVP. Despite the fine win it appears the Swampies have been run down by The stunning finish from the Auckland Blues. 84 Steve P 213.60 Black Caviar 144 Robert 403.80 Punter Pete 63 Jack 348 Maria 716 Gee 164 Rees 0 Lightning Blue 203 Jamison 0 KAURI KATS* (7th) $418.00 0 points 5 HIGHLANDERS* (6th) $1287.40 4 (x 2 Joker play) = 8 points Everyone missed the final winner with 6 BBs going astray. The Highlanders enjoyed a comfortable clean sweep with their Joker play but even with a team profit which they just missed, it wouldn't have been enough to squeak into the Finals. Tonka, with an impressive tally, was Man of the Match, while Captain Max was Kats' MVP, unlucky to draw the Man of the Match. 0 Graeme 149 Rob 21 Rex 60 Craig 130 Jen 306 Howie 246 Max 571.40 Tonka 21 Sharne 42 Midnight Caller FINAL TABLE 1st 38 MAGPIES $16,562.80 2nd 37 BLUES $14,667.40 3rd 34 TURBOS $16,197.20 4th 34 FERDIES $16,005.60 -----Finals Qualifying line---------- 5th 33 SWAMP FOXES $15,141.40 6th 29 HIGHLANDERS $15,253.60 7th 18 KAURI KATS $12,458.40 8th 6 CHIEFS $12,794.60 Well that was an exciting final round of the regular comp with the leaders - The Magpies - losing but still securing the Minor Premiership, albeit by only a point from The Blues who made excellent use of their Triple Joker play, storming home from 5th to secure 2nd spot. The Turbos won and held 3rd but The Ferdies had an off day and slipped back to 4th meaning they will face the Magpies in the semis (gulp). The Swamp Foxes won quite comfortably but were run down by The Blues whirlwind finish and so now go into The Presidents Finals as favourites - bad luck. The Highlanders also won well but were not able to secure a finals spot due to the form above them while The Kats and Chiefs both lost but can redeem themselves in the Presidents Finals. Remember we go again in 3 days time on Melbourne Cup day for part 1 of The Finals. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've managed to lull the others into a false sense of security, including almost doing ourselves out of a finals spot lol The Magpies will be worried, team talk this week lol Thanks as always PJ, fine effort today, thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
