Not looking good for Five-Oh this week.  Outmatched on aggregate in all five individual match-ups.  Pretty obvious to see why the Maximillions will be playing their Joker.

Five-Oh might have to add an extra Zoom call into the schedule this week.  What can we pull out of the playbook this week?  Common selections?  Post early to throw them off?  Perhaps a roughie day with the free for all on performance enhancing substances?

Perhaps we'll just take this one easy and get our rotation in order for the play-offs.

Good thing TC has a trial special at Doomben!!

Nice bit of psychology there John.

[Hesi]

Yeah, everyone will be checking the trials for Doomben, could be a smokescreen though

[Hesi]

Just remember, whoever takes out the minor premiership, is probably going to face a very dangerous James Gang, and don't forget the poison chalice

We discussed the James Gang on our latest team conference.  John told us there's a guy batting 0.091 on that team, so whoever draws him is pretty much a lock and then you only need to win 2 of the other 4 match-ups 😊

Complacency will get you beat Virgil

Not a smokescreen - it was a very nice trial, although the price would suggest the pundits didn't think that much of the trial or the field it beat.

Now we have 2 people fanning the fires

The Glorious One v The Unfortunate One

Jen (2/9-1222.80/2110.40) v Hesi (1/10-2510.80/3384.00)

Unfortunate does even begin to describe Alan's stats.

[Hesi]

Not that you could ever really describe us in charge around here Pete, but do you think it could have something to do with that

At considerable cost and under urgency, Mustelid Maths has compiled a List of Riveting Information (LRI), based on Win/Loss records after 11 of 14 Rounds.
It is published now as a companion work to the earlier Table of Riveting Information (TRI), which is based on individual aggregates. No Rocket Scientists - and only one very tired Mustelid - were harmed in the process of creating this document.

PJ's Friday Special(s)

Casino - lovely little town in the Northern Rivers of NSW straddling the Bruxner Highway.

Race 7 #6 Exclusive - favourite distance and former winning jockey aboard and by our new stallion Written Tycoon. Surprisingly good odds at $4.80 at present in the Beef Week Cup (love it!)

Race 6 #5 Viking Raid - bit of an each way prospect. Ran them off their feet at Ballina late last year and could repeat here with no rise in class. Great money at $9.50 at present.

I can get Junior Mac to post a spare set of selections for the two following weeks if Robert doesn’t show this weekend

Do hope he is a;right. I have met him a couple of times at the Jewels and Alex park. Lovely humble guy , who looks after the Trotting Hall of Fame at Alex Park, which for all Harness folk is a must see.

Ah grasshopper rest assured we will be here for another 4 weeks after this weekend 

That would be good Ian if JMac could post some picks, hopefully Robert is just experiencing Internet troubles I have a set of picks picked out for Double R if he doesn’t show, I haven’t heard from him yet so fingers crossed everything is ok

Not the way I’m picking it won’t be

I reckon the top 4 will be put to bed this weekend I reckon 6 points will be enough for the Gang 

I want JG to play their “J” this week and 99% certain they will, it gives them two bites at the cherry so to speak

Its an elimination match this weekend between the Tigers and HOF you can give me all the permutations you want but it will definitely be over for the loser 

[craigos1]

What a match tomorrow

MAX v JOHN

FIRST RACE 1:15pm

Can't imagine either posting before 1:13pm

How many different selections?

Probably more than 6 or 7 when you post so close to the deadline their picks are pretty much locked in

PJ another Friday fill up Exclusive 

Exclusive to the Race Place well done

CUBES

Many will remember Cubes who used to play this competition on RC, who sadly did not join in here.  Quite an icon, with his third person banter and constant hilarious and witty references to his family, punting escapades, thoroughbred ownership and of course his very colourful input to PJ's comps

It is with some sadness, that I note that he lost his wife very recently, which is indeed very sad, as I understand she was still a reasonably young woman

[Gazzac]
