PWJ Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 To win: Ferdies need- Thermosphere to win for Zac OR Big Parade to win for Maurice Chiefs need- Southern Lad to win for Stevie (must pay less than $7.10 or Virgil will beat Gee) OR a Mo's Crown-Big Parade quinella for Jack in that order and hope it pays enough (unlikely) Blues need- Southern Lad to win for Gordy (and possibly Pete {4-1}) OR a Thermosphere-Southern Lad quinella in that order for Gordy OR a Thermosphere-Big Parade quinella in that order for Geoff and hope it pays enough Turbos need- a Big Parade-Lillemor quinella in that order and hope it pays enough to get Steve past Robert, while Big Parade needs to pay $3.80 to get Blind Squirrel home against Wrinkles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooFast Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) The long and winding Mighty Blues road leads all the way to Southern Lad in the last. Southern Lad is racing down a grade and with an apprentice claim. Now 3rd up and ready to put the hooves in the till .... ... a live chance to save the day for the Mighty Blues. Inspired choice, Gordy. Plan B ...... accumulate enough dollars in the last to surpass the Kauri Kats' aggregate, and thereby take away a point. Actually ..... no need for Plan B ...................Southern Lad has got this ! Edited January 30, 2021 by TooFast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Well done, Graeme. When Southern Lad was looking to muscle his way out of the trail soon after straightening up I was on my way to the the back of the tote to collect. Then the fantasy stopped dead in its tracks. Pretty sure we Mighty Blues come away with a 'Higher Aggregate' point, so a small but appreciated consolation for a steady day's effort. Thanks to "teamies", to worthy winners the Kauri kats, and of course ...most of all ...... thank you, PJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Squirrel Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Well played Crusaders - awesome battle all day but we were pipped in a couple of very close matches and the red and blacks were too strong. Good effort team Turbo - great tipping Ray you were a star! Note to self - must do better!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Round 2 - Saturday Jan 30 Race 10 - Rosehill R91st - 3 Big Parade W-$2.50 2nd - 10 Lillemor Q-$6.10 Scr: 2,7,9 2 CHIEFS (2nd) $1124.20 1 point 3 HURRICANES (3rd) $985.80 2 points Southern Lad gave the 'Canes a fright when he poked his head through the gap half way up the straight but he couldn't round it off so the Wellington lads held on to win. Everyone bar Gee on the winner in the last with TC nailing the quinella and BBs landed by Jack, Punter Pete, Hesi, Virgil and Porky. Punter Pete was Man of the Match with Porky MVP for the Hurricanes. The Chiefs earned a bonus point for a higher aggregate. 147.00 Jack 211.00 John 153.00 Stevie N 190.00 Hesi 217.00 Gee 125.00 Virgil 422.20 Punter Pete 145.20 The Crucible 185.00 Ian 314.60 Porky 3 FERDIES (8th) $1232.60 2 points 2 STEELERS (1st) $1405.60 2 points The Ferdies two chances in the last ran 1st and 3rd so they managed to turn the match around when Maurice got up to defeat Richie. Ferdies Heather and Maria also found the Parr pouncer as did VS who snagged the quinella. Rees, who got off to a great start with his quinella in the first, was Man of the Match while PJ's 7 winners earned him MVP honours for the 'Naki side. The Steelers were amply compensated for defeat with two bonus points for a higher aggregate and a team profit. The runner-up Lillemor would have given them a 4-1 win and 4 points ! Good match people 345.60 PJ 275.40 Baby 78.00 Zac 87.20 Craig 311.60 Maurice 293.20 Richie 211.00 Heather 473.60 Rees 286.40 Maria 276.20 Von Smallhausen 1 TURBOS (4th) $1184.20 0 points 4 CRUSADERS (5th) $1221.80 3 points The Turbos got the right result they needed in the last - a BB quinella for Steve and a BB for Captain Squirrel - but as suspected it just didn't pay enough to get Steve and The Squirrel home so the Crusaders ran out 4-1 winners taking a bonus point for the margin. The final winner also tipped by Gary, Wrinkles and BBs from Robert & Rob. Ray put up a great tally for Man of the Match while his opponent Rob was Cantab MVP. 448.20 Ray 296.20 Rob 169.00 Gary 265.00 Tom 230.00 Steve P 280.80 Robert 147.00 Blind Squirrel 159.60 Wrinkles 190.00 Ziggy 220.20 Rex 2 BLUES (7th) $824.40 1 point 3 KAURI KATS (6th) $773.40 2 points Southern Lad, Thermosphere and Big Parade were all factors in the finish but not in the order needed by The Blues so the Kats held on for their first win in the comp. In the last Pam & Graeme collected for the victors while all The Blues bar Gordy replied with Pete and Roland (victorious over the Mrs) added best bets. Match Star was Pam who tipped 5 of the last 6 winners while Captain Howie was MVP for the Auks who took a bonus point for a higher aggregate, only achieved in the last. 65.00 Gordy 71.00 Max 303.00 Howie 139.20 Sharne 155.20 Pete 316.40 Pam 137.20 Geoff 233.80 Graeme 164.00 Roland 13.00 Jen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 TABLE AFTER ROUND 2 1st 5 points STEELERS $2258.60 2nd 5 points CRUSADERS $1958.80 3rd 4 points HURRICANES* $1873.40 4th 3 points CHIEFS $2046.20 5th 3 point KAURI KATS $1649.40 6th 2 points TURBOS $2011.60 7th 2 points FERDIES $1934.20 8th 1 points BLUES $1589.60 Despite losing today their two bonus points kept the Steelers on top of the table while victory for the Crusaders saw them move up to 2nd spot. The Hurricanes' win enabled them to maintain 3rd while defeat for The Chiefs cost them two places. Wins for the Kats and Ferdies saw them each gain a slot while The Turbos slid two places in defeat and the Blues dropped one to the foot of the ladder. Seven Joker plays to come in the next 5 weeks !

PWJ Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 POSTING PROCEDURE REVIEW AND CHANGES Saturday's postings were a disaster. At one stage I had 10 tabs open trying to fix mistakes for people who can't follow instructions despite 90% being able to. I nearly closed the PC and walked away. In future it will be up to Captains to replace scratchings. I will not try and help them by advising of scratchings, postings on wrong threads and so on. The comp will close 15 minutes before race 1 when the thread will be unlocked. This will give Captains 10 minutes to fix any issues. 5 minutes before race one I will close off the comp - end of story. Nothing will be accepted after that. I will post that it is closed. I strongly urge Captains to have their team mates send them their selections in a PM. This will negate the need for the 10 minute "grace period". I will make these changes to the rules on Wednesday when the fields are posted. Also DO NOT EDIT POSTS - for the 10th time I'm saying this ! If you have alterations, scratching replacements, then post them in a NEW POST. If you don't know where to post, ask. Pete has provided very clear instructions on this. We don't want another day like last Saturday. On a more positive side I believe we are having closer matches than previously due to the new system which should be great for everyone's entertainment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
