Mid-Winter Super Draft Comp Round 13 - Sat September 11

[PWJ]

ROUND 13 - Saturday September 11

Selections Close off at 1.21pm  

Gave Taranaki a miss this week due to poor fields.

This week I am taking the gamble (once again) that everything will go ahead. However, be aware that if Te Rapa is called off I will be posting alternative races - Taranaki or earlier races from Kembla Grange/Flemington - to replace Te Rapa. If you post early, please check back Saturday morning to ensure there are no changes.

MX5 and Piko fight for the right to party....errrr... take down The Roughnecks in the final round with a Joker lurking in Max's pocket while Lowdown seek an upset against the table toppers. Crazy Horse match off against the tactical genius Usain Colt crew in a must-win game for both teams with The Hot Toddys - the most scored against team in the comp taking a break from H-T-H competition with their Bye round. 

Spring Comp - NPC version - expression of interest thread goes up soon.

Good luck everyone. Any questions please ask.

You guys and guyess's should be ashamed of yourselves for picking on her.

Looking forward to chopping 'The King' down to size.

I think there is still a small chance you can win, but going to need 10 points this week, followed by 5 the last week.

That means you are going to need to throw safety out the window to get the profit bonus in those 2 weeks

How they fared last time they met:

Round 2

2 PIKO (4th)

$1325.60

2 points

3 MX5 (1st)

$1262.60

2 points

Dramatic finish to this match saw the Piko's winning hope Exhilarates go down narrowly at the death however Hesi, Geoff and Tom had it as a BB with Geoff and Hesi adding quinellas while the winner was also tipped by Man of the Match Richie to just get Piko across the team profit line giving them a bonus point to add to that for a superior aggregate. Hesi got up to nail Rex denying MX5 a bonus point for a 4-1 margin. MX5's Rob, Graeme and Craig also bagged BBs in the last as their team clung on to win with Graeme narrowly pipping Rob for MVP honours for MX5. Terrific match ! 

174.20 Tom 

213.20 Craig

 

343.40 Geoff

355.60 Graeme

 

174.00 Hesi

147.80 Rex

Round 3

 

Bye - HOT TODDYS (7th) (took on Crazy Horse & Lowdown)

$1248.80

3 points

Captain Maria certainly chose the right match to take on with the Hot Toddys taking all 3 points on offer, their final collects coming from Pam (with a BB) and Heather. Punter Pete was a standout MVP for them.

Round 5

 

4 ROUGHNECKS (1st)

$1419.60

1 LOWDOWN* (3rd)

$959.20

0 (x 2 Joker play) = 0 points

The Roughnecks had it won with an impressive display before the last where Jen bagged a BB. Lowdown ended the day with all but Pete snagging BBs on the Berry bolter while Maurice's was enough to reel in Gordy and prevent the opposition from claiming a 5-pointer. Gee with 3 double figure winners was Man of the Match while Sharne was MVP for Lowdown. The Roughnecks took bonus points for the 4-1 margin and a team profit.

390.00 Jen

Van Giz flopped and Handspun ran on too late so Usain Colt not only held on but added a bonus point for a 4-1 margin when Gary got up to beat the scorer with a BB. All the Usain Colts tipped the Hickman winner with BBs also added by Stevie N and Man of the Match Ray who nailed 6 winners. BBs from Crazy Horse MVP Rees and The Squirrel rounded out the day for Crazy Horse.
