ROUND 3

Eagle Farm Race 7 (FINAL)

1st - 1 Niccanova W-$9.50 

2nd - 3 Looks Like Elvis Q-$19.10  

Scr: nil

Only 3 on the Nicconi winner in the Listed Mile from Brisbane - Wandering, who continues his good form by snatching 3rd with the quinella; Hesi, who rattles home for 6th with a BB and Stevie N who also bagged a BB to add 17 points to his final tally. Ashoka, lost and confused (so he claimed at the start of the day) had a great tussle with the determined Blind Squirrel before triumphing over the persistent rodent while Midnight C and PJ rounded out the top 5.

Overall Points

The two Joker players still head the pack but Wandering's good effort today takes him past Plovdiv and into the lead. Howie maintains 3rd but Midnight C, Geoff, Blind Squirrel, Hesi, PJ and Ian all made upward progress today as they chase after the leaders. Max now only rodent No. 2. Rees is looking for a new plan as we speak.....

See you all again tomorrow at New Plymouth and one from Mornington

Good to see some of the newer players contributing so enthusiastically to the comp, thanks, that is after all one of the things that makes PJ's comps so enjoyable and successful

Wrong. I have run out of ideas. Apart from sticking a grand on the nose of Vladivostok tomorrow at NP that is.Well maybe !!!!

[Maximus]

Max now only rodent No. 2. 

POINT OF ORDER MR CHAIRMAN!!!!

A weasel is not a rodent. ... Weasels belong to the Family Mustelidae (hence Mustelid Maximus)
Blind Squirrel is indeed a rodent, esp when he outscores the Mustelid. (Well done yesterday, cuz-cuz)

Please note the following:

1. Maximus, "the master" was referencing you personally, not your species;

2. The Squirrel is not blind, mark my words.

That is all.

Overall Points

Howie's Joker play today earned him 50 points and sees him scoot to the top of the leaderboard by just 2 points from Wandering who put up another good tally. There's quite a gap back to Plovdiv and the first of those yet to play their Jokers - Geoff and Blind Squirrel - followed by TC who also made some gains today with a Joker play. Graeme, Max, PJ and Ian round out the top 10.

Is this Geoff at the top !

Hope he has't made his run too soon. 

On this sort of form he could make 'the cut' for the Mighty Blues mid-Jan.

No promises ... but he could well find himself in the equation. 😁
