PWJ Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Well here we are at last. Eleven razor-sharp punting brains taking on each other to see who can select 5 placed horses in a row. Sounded easy at the start of the comp but has proven achingly tougher than expected. Now these tough competitors face off in a 6 round showdown over the next few weeks to prove themselves the 2023 5 To Win Champion ! To contest the Grand Final Series are: Black Caviar, Rees, Maurice, Pete, Graeme, Tassie Tiger, Hesi, Gordy, Rob, Gary, Ian Remaining Venues are: Thu 7 - New Plymouth Wed 13 - Hastings Thu 14 - Caulfield Wed 20 - Ashburton Pukekura Raceway where you need to be on the pace or die. Two complex maidens to begin the day to sort the wheat from the chaff and then some restricted contests to see out the day. That midway race (#3) could become a two-divvy affair so beware.... Good luck ! Just select one horse per race to run a dividend-bearing placing. See original thread for rules. You MUST replace normal scratchings or your entry will be invalid. 1. New Plymouth R5 - 3.22pm - Nulook Aluminium Maiden - $18k, 1400m, maiden 2. New Plymouth R6 - 3.57pm - Return To Earth Maiden - $18k, 1400m, maiden 3. New Plymouth R7 - 4.34pm - Revital Fertilisers 1400 - $18k, 1400m,R60 hdcp 4. New Plymouth R8 - 5.12pm - Ideal racing Thanks Ascot Bloodstock - $18k, 1800m, R75 BM 5.
