Maximus Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Jen v Hesi After a few weeks of TLC in the Bountiful Bosom of the Kauri Kats, Jen has got her MOJO back and is in dangerous form, just in time for ...YOU, Hesi.

Maximus Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Thanks for a great tough match today, Superiors. Could easily have gone t'other way. In the 'wash up' cap'n Max has decided to have a motivational chat with Georgy Boy (if only I can find him; has he gone AWOL?). Sharne, commiserations - tough to lose with a big score like you posted today. Max is still scratching his hairy head about Too Fast copping just 1pt after an exceptional team effort, while Daylight grab 3pts without being able to pick their noses most of the day. Don't ya luv it? Well done Maxisquillions, a good team effort - shame we couldnt quite snaffle a bonus point. Onwards and upwards. Some terrific match-ups next week ..eh, Howie???

Ray - unlucky with Star Of The Seas - looked home with 50 metres to run and only just went under. Ian - another nice come from behind win thanks to Sweet Deal - great to finally be on the same team as you. TC - you had the cushy draw so expected you to win but it took a wee while to get your nose in front - I still can't believe Yamuna didn't win (can we see that photo again?). Yeah all these years and never been on the same team, more than happy to be on your team John, you’re very professional and never leave any stone unturned, it’s little wonder your teams are always vying for the title. Great start to the comp, I find it hard to nominate a favourite nor an outsider all teams look very evenly balanced a little luck will no doubt determine a few outcomes, Loved the return of Probabeel Yamuna did look like it had got up, saying that Sweet Deal looked like it had got beat, a game of inches Onto next week against the Superiors so it doesn’t get any easier Caulfield next week the Memsie Stakes I did hear this morning on the radio a stable at Cranbourne had been infected by Covid19 and the grand final of the Masked Singer also in Melbourne was called off as 7 of the dancers tested positive to Covid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the highest scoring match but it was close the whole way and we were fortunate to nab a few key winners at Randwick. Team Daylight - nice win yesterday. Second lowest aggregate on the day but as most of us know, the points are primarily handed out for H2H wins and we had four of those, so it's Daylight second! Pam - great comeback win capped by the Kiwi mare's win in the Winx. Ray - unlucky with Star Of The Seas - looked home with 50 metres to run and only just went under.

TC - you had the cushy draw so expected you to win but it took a wee while to get your nose in front - I still can't believe Yamuna didn't win (can we see that photo again?). A nice gentle hit-out to start the comp and three points is a bonus. We will no doubt be better for the run, and on to the Superiors (?) next week. Thanks Peter as always for another day of racing entertainment. Maybe I should rename us the Inferiors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Nice one, Maxi. I liked Glorious Ocean on Thursday, but by today the lustre had worn off. Thought it's last run was not good enough to indicate a win today second-up. My bad. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
