Maximus Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Max has finally been able to pause for breath during a very busy holiday weekend in Bedrock ... Congrats Kats on securing 2 valuable points, esp Pam and Graame aka Foxy One who racked up good winning totals; Teams can't afford to go scoreless in a Comp over 7 weeks, so the Losers Bluesers did very well to take a Comp point. Max was apparently seen on Sat nite slinking away rather sheepishly from his phone after checking the result and spying the mere $6 diff between his-self and Gordy that proved to be crucial on the day. We'll take it - we had tons of rotten luck last year! Commiserations, Gordy, Howie and team. You are always tough opponents. Joker plays over the next few weeks will 'make or break' teams' results. Dare the KKs play the Joker against the fearsome Ferdies currently ranked 7th this weekend? (hmmm) We've already played the team ranked 8th. Thanks PJ for persevering when things weren't going well Sat morn. Rule amendment re scratchings very good. It's each captain's job to deal with scratchings, not yours.

With a buck each way sometimes its only a matter of cents between 10 points and 5 points in the Harness comp. I am ( Rex has seconded it) ditching the hidden posts on a sub forum for our Harness comp, (even though everyone seems to have grasped it)for reasons of Pete's sanity and the clash with your comp which I think should take precedent . So you will be able to see everyone else's picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 From the Mighty Blues perspective I think we're more relieved that Sagunto didn't get up at 34-1 for that good Crusaders man Wrinkles, than we are pleased that Aquila Star got up for me at 7-1 . 🙂 Dramatic form reversal by Sagunto. That's what keeps horseracing the fascinating entertainment that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
