PWJ Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 Don't Forget Round 6 on Boxing Day - selection thread already posted Lucky Seven Round 5 - Sat Dec 23 Comp Race 7 - Eagle Farm R8 1st - 6 Zarastro W-$3.00 P-$1.60 2nd - 4 Nettuno P-$2.30 3rd - 10 Legal Esprit P-$4.20 Q - $9.90 TF - $172.80 Scr: 11 Local hero Lightning Blue comes with a late bolt with a 1st/3rd best bet to run down the leaders and win the Round ! Well done cobber ! Pete snagged the Q to hold 2nd with Tassie Tiger (win only) slipping back to 3rd. Gary (win), Zig (BB win) and Gordy (1st/3rd BB also) completed the top six. Ian missed in the last but it didn't matter while PJ hands a very smelly Timid Terry shirt to Graeme to take home for the laundry. Thanks for playing and let's do it all again on Boxing Day.

Saturday's hero LB off to a great start snagging the Q to seize an early lead ahead of Christmas/New Year Cup leader OM (BB on the winner) with Robert, Gee and Geoff next, all securing 1st/3rd.

Only Our Maizcay on the last start winner and he rockets into the lead with LB (2nd only) trailing. Howie with a 2nd/3rd BB up to 3rd followed by Gee (3rd BB) and the ever present threat Robert (2nd). Might not be many left to board the plane to Melbourne. Rex, Maria, SS and Gordy having a haggle over the Timid Terry jersey kindly returned by Graeme ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 3 are unchanged but LB bags a BB quinella to make up plenty of ground on Our Maizcay (win only) while 3rd-placed Howie also snags the Q. Geoff bags a BB quinella to move up to 4th ahead of Gee (3rd) and Robert (Q also). Secret Squirrel and Gordy in a tug-of-war over the Timid Terry apparel....

The top two snag the Q to maintain station but Geoff lands the trifecta to displace brother Howie in 3rd. Robert also on the Tri and he creeps up to 4th ahead of Pete (BB Quinella) and Rex (1st/3rd BB). Secret Squirrel has won the fight for the Timid Terry garb.
