PWJ Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 To win- The Hurricanes need: Shared Ambition to win for Virgil OR Angel of Truth to win for TC (must pay $19.40+ or Homesman complete the Q) The Kauri Kats need: Homesman to win for Graeme (must pay $3.70+ or Nonconformist complete the Q) OR Nonconformist to win for Graeme OR Paradee to win for Sharne (must pay $5.50+ or Shared Ambition complete the Q) OR Steel Prince or Shared Ambition to win for Jen (must pay $4.90+ or the other complete the Q) The Crusaders need: Shared Ambition to win for Tom OR Angel of Truth to win for Rob OR (possibly) a Nonconformist-Angel of Truth quinella in that order for Rob and hope it pays enough Chiefs vs Blues - currently 1-3 Ian vs Roland is the tied match. Roland has Angel of Truth & Night's Watch while Ian has Homesman & Nonconformist If Ian can win the tie-breaker then a Paradee-Homesman quinella in that order may win it for Punter Pete, otherwise the Blues might have won it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind Squirrel Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Congrats Sharne - no matter how hard I look you've nabbed the quinella and scorched me at the post to take the individual and team win! Well played Kats - it was nip and tuck all the way and to mix up some metaphors we bobbed when we should have weaved Turbos Proud of our effort though as we stuck it out on a tough day and only missed at the last hop. Tight comp and we are still well in it Turbos - we'll be baaaack! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Round 5 - Saturday Feb 20 Race 9 - Caulfield R81st - 12 Paradee W-$4.70 1st - 8 Shared Ambition Q- $13.00 Scr: 10,11 2 CHIEFS (3rd) $808.20 0 points 3 BLUES (4th) $1379.40 3 points The tiebreaker was won by Ian with Homesman running 3rd but the Chiefs, for whom Punter Pete (with a BB) and Jack scored, couldn't reel in The Auckland lads for whom Pete landed a beaut BB quinella (to seal Man of the Match honours), and Gordy bagged a BB. Punter Pete was MVP for the Waikato crew. The Blues last race surge took them past the team profit mark for a bonus point. 45.00 Gee 497.20 Pete 162.20 Jack 357.20 Gordy 313.00 Punter Pete 353.00 Howie 94.00 Ian (on countback) 94.00 Roland 194.00 Stevie N 78.00 Geoff 3 FERDIES (8th) $1488.80 3 points 2 HURRICANES (1st) $946.00 0 points Shared Ambition nearly undid The Ferdies in the last but Paradee - tipped by Zac, Heather and PJ - held on to get The 'Naki home. Maurice was huge taking Man of the Match honours while the ever consistent John - too good for me today mate - was Wellington MVP. The Ferdies took a bonus point for a team profit. 169.00 Maria 165.00 Virgil 425.00 Heather 185.00 The Crucible 557.80 Maurice 83.20 Hesi 47.00 Zac 159.80 Porky 290.00 PJ 353.00 John 3 KAURI KATS (7th) $988.00 2 points 2 TURBOS (2nd) $814.20 0 points The Turbos led into the last but all missed as Sharne snagged the quinella she needed to reel in Captain Squirrel and win it for the Kauri Kats who had never been in front since race 2. Without Shared Ambition completing the quinella by a nose Sharne's BB would not have been enough ! Captain Max, who never scored past race 4 was Man of the Match with Captain Squirrel MVP for the vanquished Turbos. No bonus points were earned.. 206.00 Pam 138.00 Ziggy 346.00 Max 158.00 Ray 94.00 Jen 142.00 Steve P 294.00 Sharne 256.00 Blind Squirrel 48.00 Graeme 120.20 Gary 3 STEELERS* (6th) $986.80 2 (x 2 Joker play) = 4 points 2 CRUSADERS (5th) $899.40 0 points Shared Ambition nearly got up for Tom in the last to turn the match around for The Crusaders but it wasn't to be so the Steelers - who all missed in the last - held on for a successful Joker play. Robert bagged a BB in the last while Rex also labelled the final winner to just pip Robert for 'Saders MVP honours. Baby was an impressive Match Star nailing 6 winners including two quinellas. No bonus points were earned. 96.00 Rees 277.00 Robert 151.00 Craig 290.00 Rex 136.20 Von Smallhausen 47.00 Rob 185.80 Richie 165.00 Tom 417.80 Baby 120.40 Wrinkles * Joker Play TABLE AFTER ROUND 5 1st 11 points BLUES $5580.00 2nd 9 points HURRICANES* $6024.80 3rd 9 points STEELERS* $5341.20 4th 8 points TURBOS $5637.80 5th 8 points CHIEFS $5162.40 6th 7 points FERDIES $4918.80 7th 6 points CRUSADERS $4908.20 8th 6 point KAURI KATS $4848.20 Defeat today cost the Hurricanes the lead as the Blues powered up 3 places to head the table. Three places were also made up by The Steelers with a successful Joker play taking them into 3rd. Defeats for The Turbos, Chiefs and Crusaders cost them two places each while the Ferdies made up two places in escaping from the cellar with their win over the leaders. The Kats won but unfortunately fell one place into the cellar - crazy comp ! Six Jokers to come in the 8 matches ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Wow ..... Mighty Blues from 8th (and last) to 1st ....in the space of just 2 weeks. Feather duster to rooster ! 😁 Great performances Pete, Gordy, Geoff & Roland, turning this show around. Now we are the 'chased' ...instead of being the 'chaser'. Massive challenge next Saturday being up against our nemesis, the benchmark team, the 'Hurricanes'. It'll be a tough one, we're under no illusion about that. Many thanks for this fine comp, PJ. Always thrilling. That's it, Rees ............ no encyclopedia today. Soemone please pick Rees up off the floor ....... he''s keeled over. 😀 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
