Dancing Show Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Fantastic match today Blues 🥂🍺 Cheers to us all! - thanks for the entertainment and well done on stretching out that neck to get over the line. Well done Swampsters, we nearly pulled it off and a wonderful effort on a day that was really hard for some to find a dollar so the totals of both teams in our match are something to write home about! 🙃 Thanks Gordy for a fun bout! too good and too consistent for me today! 🤗 Thanks Peter as always and congrats for Hitotsu - beaut win. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 WOW.. what an amazing finish..perfect finale to Derby Day.

PWJ Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Race 10 - Rosehill R71st - 2 I'm Thunderstruck W-$3.20 2nd - 11 Count de Rupee Q-$25.70 Scr: 19-22 2 FERDIES (4th) $622.80 0 points 3 CHIEFS (1st) $760.80 2 points Ellsberg never yelped for The Ferdies in the last although Heather did snag the quinella to come back and defeat Waikato MVP Stevie (great effort H) taking 'Naki Match Star honours and cut the Chiefs' winning margin to the minimum which may make a big difference at the end of the Final Round. The Chiefs all scored in the last bar Gee with Ian adding a BB. No bonus points were earned. 224.40 Heather 218.40 Stevie N 199.40 PJ 95.00 Punter Pete 25.00 Zac 145.40 Jack 111.00 Maurice 177.00 Ian 63.00 Tom 125.00 Gee 2 SWAMP FOXES (2nd) $1417.80 1 (halved by Black Adder play) = 0.5 points 3 BLUES# (5th) $1473.00 3 points Dramatic finish saw Rees overcome Roland with a BB on the winner but Gordy also snagged a BB to reel in Maria and win it for the Blues. BBs also scored by Geoff, Pete (who just edged the former for Auks MVP) and Man of the Match Robert who bagged an amazing 7 winners on a tough day for many. Captains Howie and Maria were the others to find the Bowman winner. Both sides made it past the team profit mark in the last but the Blues' Black Adder play cut the Swampies' bonus point in half ! 252.00 Rees 188.00 Roland 478.80 Robert 364.00 Pete 214.00 Von Smallhausen 361.60 Geoff 308.60 Maria 323.20 Gordy 164.40 Richie 236.20 Howie 1 HIGHLANDERS (3rd) $804.00 0 points 4 KAURI KATS (8th) $919.00 3 points In a match that had already seen a few lead changes, The Kats pulled something out of the bag in the last with Pam bagging a BB to take down Mardy and Sharne doing likewise to Craig with a BB to win it for The Puddys and add a bonus point for the 4-1 margin. Old tom Graeme also found the final winner as id all the Highlanders bar Craig. Mardy was Otago MVP and unlucky to draw Match Star Pam. 105.00 Rusty 95.00 Graeme 159.00 Happy 213.40 Jen 89.00 Craig 114.00 Sharne 282.00 Mardy 298.60 Pam 166.00 Rex 198.00 Max 0 TURBOS (7th) $407.60 0 points 5 MAGPIES* (6th) $1127.80 4 (x 2 Joker play) = 8 points The Magpies' decision to play the Joker today was an inspired choice as not only had they won it before the last but Hesi bagged a BB at the death to beat Gary and give them a perfect 5-zip scoreline which bagged them 8 points with the Joker play ! In the last Steve landed a BB for the Manawatu while the rest of the 'Pies bar Porky also found the Pride pouncer with Roger adding the quinella and Wrinkles a BB after his afternoon nap ! The Squirrel was Turbos' MVP while Roger was Man of the Match tipping half the card. 0.00 Ziggy 269.00 Wrinkles 217.60 Blind Squirrel 272.40 Rob 64.00 Steve P 322.40 Blazes 50.00 Ray 150.00 Porky 76.00 Gary 114.00 Hesi * Joker play # Black Adder play TABLE after ROUND 6 1st 14.5 CHIEFS* $7531.60 2nd 14 MAGPIES* $6594.20 3rd 11.5 SWAMP FOXES# $6684.20 4th 9.5 BLUES# $6959.40 5th 9 HIGHLANDERS#* $5729.60 6th 8 FERDIES# $5627.20 7th 7 KAURI KATS# $5199.00 8th 5 TURBOS* $5279.20 The table leaders The Chiefs won today to stay on top but their lead is sliced to just half a point following a highly successful Joker play by the Magpies which rocketed them from 6th up to 2nd. Late defeat for the Swamp Foxes saw them drop a place while their conquerors - The Blues - gained one spot. Defeat today for the Highlanders was more costly as they slipped two spots as did the Ferdies who also lost. The Kauri Kats' win got them out of the cellar which now becomes the new abode for the Turbos who lost again today. Four Jokers to come next week all held among 6 teams that can still win the comp. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Maria. Yes for sure, an absorbing high-scoring match that swung this way and that, throughout. It was a shame that both teams couldn't be winners today ...fortunately for us Blues we very narrowly got our beaks in front in the very last ...and then had the cheek to deny you Swampsters the full benefit of your Team Profit through our Black Adder play ! Sorry 'bout dat ! 😧 Well done my Blues guys, the BB King Geoff, the almost unbeaten Pete with his $364 contribution into the kitty, Gordy showing great tenacity to just get up and trump Maria in the last for the crucial individual victory, and Roland only just nutted out in the last after matching Rees all day. For us Blues, now on to our Joker play in the final round against the Turbos to reap a 10-point haul and be crowned PJ Spring Comp Champions for 2021 ! Well that's the way I've dreamt it, anyway. 😄. Now to turn the dream to reality ...... 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Thanks for the match Turbos Nicely played Magpies, almost the perfect result, which brings me to a small matter. I'm happy to have 2 points deducted from our score Rob was otherwise detained, so I was forced to post for him with 8 mins still to go in the 30 min grace period. A couple of minutes after that, he sent me his pics, but it was too late, as I had already posted, so as per the rules PJ was obliged to take the first pics(mine). This resulted in a win over the Squirrel, as Robs original picks would have seen a loss to him This is not the reason however, that we should be deducted 2 points When I did Rob's picks in a hurry, it was after R1 at Awapuni, so I had the benefit of seeing a track downgrade from D5 to S7, which may have given me an advantage in doing the picks for him for the 4 races at Awapuni, not sure I would have picked Frontman for him on a D5 track. Sorry, just realised Frontman was at Tauranga Your overall call PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
