pete Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Here it is - our Melbourne Cup Day Exotics Competition. The format is based on choosing 5 horses per race and 6 horses in the Melbourne Cup. These horses are then boxed in a $1 Quinella, Trifecta and First Four based on your choice of bet. You can choose one,two or three bet types for each race (you can't select no bet types). Your total spend per race will obviously depend on the types you choose. So the spend for each bet type on all 5 horse selections is: Quinella $10 Trifecta $60 First Four $120 On the Melbourne Cup the spend would be: Quinella $15 Trifecta $120 First Four $360 So it's up to you to work out your appetite for risk. The winner will be the person who posts the biggest profit - or the smallest loss if no one actually makes a profit. A sample of how to post: R1. 1/2/3/4/5 Q F - this means you want a Quinella and First Four R2. 1/2/3/4/5 T - this means you just want a trifecta Scratching replacements are available until the competition close at midday. There will be no automatic scratching substitutes as it's too difficult for the scorer. I've picked some REALLY tough races so go for it. Everyone really enjoyed the harness equivalent. Here are the races: R1. 12.20pm Pukekohe R1 R2. 12.57pm Pukekohe R2 R3. 2.00pm Flemington R3 R4. 2.11pm Pukekohe R4 R5. 2.51pm Pukekoke R5 R6. 3.20pm Flemington R5 R7. 3.31pm Pukekoke R6 R8. 3.55pm Flemington R6 R9. 5.00pm MELBOURNE CUP R10. 5.50pm Flemington R8 Entries close midday Tuesday. Prize will be a $10 Trixie on Saturday 5 November - total value $40 Any questions/issues just post here. Get swotting!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comp Race 7 is Pukekohe Race 6 which doesn't have a number 24. It looks like you think Comp Race 7 is the Melbourne Cup but that's Comp Race 9.

Globederby19 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Well there were only two us in the Trot comp to post a profit even if I was 6 grand in arrears, and missed a first 4 into the bargain with a QT only.

Gazzac Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Worth a shot and I'll take all options in each race - confident of 10 First fours !! 1/2/3//12 3/10/12/15/20 2/3/4/5/9 1/2/7/11/15 1/6/9/12/15 5/6/8/11/15 2/6/7/13/17 1/8/9/12/13 3/4/8/15/17/20 5/6/7/10/14 Good luck all. We have Aquaoir going round Auckland 20 minutes before MC time.
