PWJ Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 To win: The Ferdies need- Jadentom to win for Zac OR Pennino to win for PJ (must pay $10.60+ or Jami Lady complete the Q) The Blues need- River Racer to win for Roland The Kauri Kats need- Love You Lucy to win for Rocky OR (possibly) a Pennino-Multaja quinella in that order for Graeme and hope it pays enough The Barbarians need- Multaja to win for Richie & Moose (must pay $5.20+ or Jamaican Rain complete the Q) OR River Racer to win for Pam & Moose (must pay $19.80+ or Multaja complete the Q) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Round 1 - Saturday Jul 4 Race 10 - Doomben R91st - 11 Jami Lady W-$5.50 2nd - 2 Fiesta Q-$60.20 Scr: 8,12-15,17 1 BARBARIANS $605.00 0 points 4 TURBOS $745.20 3 points Neither of the Babas hopes yelped in the last where the only competitor to select the winner was Blind Squirrel so the Turbos scored a nice win to kick off the comp adding a bonus point for the 4-1 margin. Steve P pipped Gary and Barbarians' MVP Mardy for Man of the Match honours. 252.00 Mardy 184.00 Blind Squirrel 55.00 Pam 252.00 Gary 74.00 Richie 125.20 Rees 0.00 Ziggy 19.00 Ray 224.00 Moose 254.00 Steve P 2 BLUES $585.40 0 points 3 CRUSADERS* $751.00 2 (x 2 Joker play) = 4 points River Racer never got into it for The Blues so the Crusaders held on to win and double their points haul with a "cheeky" Joker play. Only Geoff tipped the final winner adding the quinella. Rob with 3 winners in NZ from the first 4 races and nothing after was Man of the Match while Captain Howie was MVP for the Blues. No bonus points were scored. 89.00 Gordy 0.00 Rex 0.00 Roland 108.00 Robert 264.00 Howie 82.00 Craig 213.40 Geoff 356.00 Rob 19.00 Pete 205.00 Tom 3 CHIEFS* $1979.00 3 (x 2 Joker play) = 6 points 2 KAURI KATS $1468.00 1 point The Kats big hope Love You Lucy ran on late into 4th but couldn't get near the winner so the Chiefs held on in an action-fuelled contest with both sides earning a point for a team profit and The Chiefs doubling their tally with a bold Joker play. Sharne, Ian and Punter Pete all landed BBs in the last. Captain Max was Man of the Match with a big score while Jack was MVP for the winners with only two collects. 459.00 Gee 693.80 Max 370.80 Ian 129.00 Graeme 508.20 Jack 0.00 Jen 211.00 Stevie N 337.20 Sharne 430.00 Punter Pete 308.00 Rocky 1 FERDIES $508.20 0 points 4 HURRICANES $935.20 3 points Jadentom only plugged and the plunge on Pennino mean't it was never paying enough so the 'Canes proved victorious adding a bonus point in the last with a 4-1 margin thanks to TC nailing Ashoka and John bagging a BB to overhaul Maurice despite Zac also landing a BB to claim Hesi. PJ (with a BB) and Heather also scored for The 'Naki in the last. Porky was Man of the Match with just one collect while PJ was a very modest MVP for the off-form Ferdies who can only improve from here. 138.20 PJ 239.00 Virgil 110.00 Zac 101.00 Hesi 97.00 Ashoka 148.00 The Crucible 89.00 Maurice 193.20 John 74.00 Heather 254.00 Porky The Table after Round 1 1st 6 CHIEFS* $1979.00 2nd 4 CRUSADERS* $751.00 3rd 3 HURRICANES $935.20 4th 3 TURBOS $745.20 5th 1 KAURI KATS $1468.00 6th 0 BARBARIANS $605.00 7th 0 BLUES $585.40 8th 0 FERDIES $508.20 * joker played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Well done, Craig and the Crusaders on a solid Joker play success today against us 'Mighty Blues'. Getting Joker play points is critical in this short comp ...so you've done well. The best of luck for the rest of the game. I'm sure there's much better to come from us 'Mighty Blues' .... and next Saturday will be a very good place to start. Let the fight-back begin. Thanks, PJ. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll be seeing many Joker plays that are more successful than that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that in mind I think you'll finf the 'Mighty Blues' going into next Saturday's match-up with a fair degree of confidence.. Plus ..... plus ............Geoff loves South Island racing. 😊 Plus .... plus ......plus ....... Mighty Blues on home turf Ellerslie.

craigos1 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I think teams are very even Any team can beat any team........................ So I think the Chiefs getting 6 points today is a big advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if you offered each skipper 6 points from their Joker play, most of them would jump at it. well, of course you are 'with' Howie, as long as it makes you 'not with' the poor Kitty Kats. (It's alright KKs, we did OK today). We'll take our Consolation Point, knowing that in a short Comp like this, one needs to play the Joker to MAXIMUM EFFECT. Two Joker down and only a 6pter and a 4pter. We might wait for the HairyCanes, who seem to be struggling to pick winter winners, not enough $3.00 shots coming home .. you.see, VvD, if you if you want to win this Comp you'll need some Team Profit Points as well as a Maximum Effect Joker. At your next team conflababullation, try to agree on something paying over $4.50. LOL MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team profit points (and higher aggregates) are very important, too, when there are no playoffs to qualify for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anyone underway with 6 points in a 7-round comp has left the gates with a wing on every hoof. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 14 minutes ago, Say No More said: Nice aggregates for the Chiefs and Kats - well done! I don't normally put too much stock in aggregates, but in a 7 round sprint with no play-offs, bonus points take on greater significance and a high team aggregate could effectively be worth an extra half a point if a tie needs to be split to determine the comp winner. Speaking of no play-offs - Hesi that means you can't do what you did with JG - cruise through the round robin without winning (much) and then come good in the play-offs.

TooFast Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 from memory, (and I stand to be corrected) .... in the recently-concluded fun-packed Draft Comp out of 14 Joker plays over 2 rounds there was only one haul in excess of 6 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Bugger. the only time Zig scores Zero and your random generator failed PJ . A chance at redemption gone begging. Some rather fortunate wins there on a tough day at the office, and some Joker plays out of the way early to make life easier. Well done team Turbo,s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
