PWJ Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Round 9 - Saturday May 8 Race 10 - Gold Coast R91st - 2 Yamazaki W-$9.00 2nd - 7 Wonderful Riri Q-$28.70 Scr: 10,13,19 3 SEAGULLS (1st) $913.20 2 points 2 MAXIS (4th) $1006.00 1 point None of the Maxis hopes yelped in the last so the Seagulls held on to win again although the Maxis took a bonus point for a higher aggregate. No one tipped the Pfeiffer flyer. Hesi was Man of the Match just edging Maxis' MVP Blind Squirrel by less than $4.00 ! 334.80 Hesi 91.00 Graeme 72.00 Steve P 331.40 Blind Squirrel 195.00 Pete 151.00 Pam 173.20 Sharne 119.00 Max 138.20 Maurice 313.60 Rob 4 BARELLAN* (2nd) $1414.80 4 (x 2 Joker play) = 8 points 1 RAMONES (5th) $1087.00 0 points The plunge on Maui Girl dropped her out of contention to play saviour for The Ramones and their other two hopes never got into it so Barellan's Joker play proved successful with Howie and Craig finding the Zahra zipper with the former nailing Rees at the death to give the Bs a 4-1 margin (and bonus point) while they also passed the team profit mark in the last for another bonus point, each of these becoming 2 with the Joker play. Man of the Match Jason tipped The Ramones' final winner while Punter Pete just edged Geoff for Barellan MVP honours. 211.20 Tom 0.00 Gee 305.00 Craig 447.20 Jason 312.00 Geoff 206.80 Dino 273.00 Howie 203.00 Rees 313.60 Punter Pete 230.00 Richie 0 SHOWTIME (7th) $580.20 0 points 5 ARDERN UP (6th) $1423.20 5 points BYE - ESCAPISTS (3rd) $1441.00 3 points Hope then anguish for Showtime for whom Wonderful Riri almost pulled up a 4-1 victory for them but instead the Ardern Up "whisper" horse - Warwick Farm wuffie - Yamazaki prevailed tipped by all 5 of them with BBs added by Ray, Stevie and Zac. Zac and Ziggy defeated Heather and Porky respectively in the last to not only give Ardern Up a team profit but also a 5-zip win to take maximum points ! Big finish too from The Escapists with Rex (picks by PJ - why do I always pick better for others !!) bagging a beaut BB quinella and Jen getting her 4th winner to hand The Escapists a team profit for a bonus point and do enough to keep their noses in front of the whirlwind finish from Ardern Up ! 125.00 Gary 355.00 Ray 111.00 Maria 296.00 Stevie N 142.20 Heather 294.00 Zac 52.00 Gordy 285.00 Ian 150.00 Porky 193.20 Ziggy 254.00 Jen 253.00 Roland 39.00 Jack 590.80 Rex 248.20 PJ Table after Round 9 1st 26 Barellan* $9994.00 2nd 22 Seagulls $10,001.00 3rd 16 Escapists $9383.00 4th 16 Ardern Up $9308.80 5th 13 Maxis $8463.80 6th 12 Ramones $7603.20 7th 10 Showtime $7921.60 Barellan's highly successful Joker play takes them to the top of the table today dropping The Seagulls back to 2nd despite them also recording a win. Bye team The Escapists needed all 3 points on offer to hold on to 3rd and luckily got them while Ardern Up's hurricane finish and maximum point score takes them up two places to 4th. Despite taking a bonus point in defeat The Maxis drop a place to 5th while The Ramones also lost a place while Showtime continue to occupy the cellar despite nearly stealing it in the last.

TooFast Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Very pleasing points haul today as us Barellan boys rallied strongly around the Joker play to bring home the desired result. Was looking like a 4-point haul going into the last, maybe even 2 only ...... but our new best friend Yamazaki came flashing home down the outside to steer us home with the extra 4 points. Best thing .....everyone contributing to the Team Profit result ..... Craig landing Yamazaki at a crucial time and a plentiful cash haul over $300 ...... Tom the Terror continuing on his winning way as swe have come to expect ...... Geoff now 7 wins from 8 games ....... Punter Pete emerging with a very big game today. Life is good at Team Barellan. 🙂 Let's hope it stays that way 😀......though I'm sure the Sparrows, Escapists and others will have a contradictory view on that. Thanks for the game Richie, Rees and your fellow Ramones ..... you were in the fight right to the end, with chances in the last to take victory. I'm sure you'll be picking up several more wins before this comp is through. Many thanks for another fine day's entertainment, PJ. Your Comps are always the highlight of my week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, folks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
