Globederby19 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 10 minutes ago, Hesi said: 9 winners in a row Robert, well done. Thought I had you though with Madame Pommery If Savatoxl or See You In Heaven win the last, that is 10 winners, a feat only achieved I think by Howie, BUT if Picargo wins, I finish over the top of you No, Ziggy achieved that feat as well Hesi.

PWJ Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 To win: The Highlanders need- Boognish to win for Rob OR Ironclad to win for Craig OR (possibly) a Calypso Reign-Picargo quinella in that order for Tonka AHIPE The Kauri Kats need- a Boognish-See You In Heaven quinella in that order for Graeme*, Pam and Jen AHIPE The Swamp Foxes and The Chiefs can't win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that is 2 weeks in a row I have managed to pick every winner in the Oz part of the picks. Excellent picking Heather. Class is permanent.

pegs pride Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Congratulations Robert. 10/10 a brilliant achievement. I'm humbled to be part of the group. I didn't think my attempt for a goodish quinella in the last was a wise move. But one just never knows. Have a great comp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 ROUND 2 - Saturday August 12 Comp Race 10 - Morphettville R8 1st - 10 See You In Heaven W-$2.00 2nd - 1 Savatoxl Q-$4.60 Scr: 7(L),11 Subs: #10 then #1 5 BLUES (1st) $1004.20 4 points 0 KAURI KATS (4th) $568.60 0 points Boognish never got into it so the Blues held on for a dominant win with Moose and Man of the Match (9 winners) Smiler completing their scoring. Sharne bagged a BB quinella in the last to claim the MVP tiara for the Kauri Kats with Graeme also scoring. Then Blues took two bonus points for the 5-zip margin and look the team to beat in the comp. 243.20 Gordy 138 Jen 340 Smiler 131.60 Graeme 49.80 Roland 48 Max 243.20 Pete 209 Sharne 128 Moose 42 Pam 3 TURBOS (6th) $1076.20 2 points 2 HIGHLANDERS (3rd) $934.80 0 points Rob (with a BB), Craig and Midnight Caller grabbed the last $$ for the Highlanders although their 3 chances to win it never eventuated. All the Turbos bar Zig found the winning fave in the last with Gary adding a BB, Ray the quinella and Blind Squirrel a BB quinella. Blind Squirrel's late flourish saw him snatch MVP honours from Our Maizcay but it was Midnight Caller who was Man of the Match with 7 winners. No bonus points were earned. 253.60 Our Maizcay 32 Tonka 201.8 Gary 180 Rob 216.20 Ray 282.60 Midnight Caller 141.60 Ziggy 241.20 Howie 263 Blind Squirrel 199 Craig 4 FERDIES (2nd) $1636.00 4 points 1 CHIEFS*** (8th) $929.20 0 (x 3 Triple Joker play) = -1 point The Ferdies had it won before the last where bar Hesi they all found the winning fave with PJ adding the quinella. LB (quinella) and Jack made the final collects for The Chiefs for whom MVP Robert, together with Match Star Heather put up an amazing performance with each tipping every winner ! Well done that pair. The Chiefs Triple Joker play proved unsuccessful and they suffer a one point deduction as a result. The Ferdies took a bonus point each for the margin and a team profit. 268.40 Maurice 243 Jack 258.80 Hesi 411.20 Robert 299.80 Geoff 0 Gee 449.20 Heather 156.20 Lightning Blue 359.80 PJ 118.80 Steve P 5 MAGPIES (7th) $1544.80 5 points 0 SWAMP FOXES (5th) $1119.60 0 points The Magpies also turned in a dominant performance and had the match sewn up before the last where everyone found the winner one way or another with quinellas for Maria, Jamison & Stevie N while Rees bagged a BB. Antz with 9 winners was Man of the Match while Maria just edged Punter Pete for Swamp Foxes MVP honours. The match was closer than the scoreline suggested with the draw falling perfectly for the victors. The Magpies took maximum points with a 5-zip margin and team profit and look a big threat in the comp after a slow start. 413.80 Antz 244.80 Maria 292.20 Stevie N 231 Black Caviar 223 Ian 173 Rees 252.80 Secret Squirrel 227.20 Jamison 363 Richie 243.60 Punter Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Show Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Cheers for the match Pies, it was so close for much of the day but just a few too many guns when it mattered that we just couldn't repel 🙂 Nice total again though Swampsters.. and we will have our day.. plenty of road to travel yet 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 TABLE AFTER ROUND 2 1st 8 BLUES* $1851.20 2nd 7 FERDIES $3107.60 3rd 5 MAGPIES $2359.80 4th 3 HIGHLANDERS $1990.80 5th 2 TURBOS $2310.20 6th 2 KAURI KATS $1636.60 7th 1 SWAMP FOXES $2393.80 8th -1 CHIEFS^ $1704.20 ^ Triple Joker play * Double Joker play The Blues big win enabled them to hold the top dog spot while likewise the Ferdies maintained 2nd with their win. The Magpies were the day's biggest winners and jumped from 7th up to 3rd as a result. The Highlanders' loss saw them slip a spot to 4th while the Turbos moved up a place with their victory. The Kauri Kats and Swamp Foxes lost two places each in defeat while the Chiefs unsuccessful Joker play saw them stay firmly entrenched in the cellar. Stats and draw for next week later. Sitting down to cheer the Warriors now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Interestingly to couple up all of either Roberts and Heather's picks today, would have cost $1024, for a hypothetical return of approx $61,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
