Not confident today, and I see that The Blob has already got a winner up! :o

Hope the protest upheld but I dont think so...Not much contact.
Well, half lenght behind you.

Hey Raw Instinct how many picks do you want?

The whole idea of having subs is they are on "standby" if you get a scratching. Two of my initial selections were scratched so my 2 subs come into play.

What's the point of having rules, Sportz kindly set out, if you're not going to abide by them?

I need a winner!

Should never change your mind. I originally chose Sassy Senorita (and Fraarclase) in my four selections, but replaced them with Scenic Silver and Studio Star which both flopped! :(

Results so far:

The Blob (NSW) 117 v Sportz (QLD) 21 :o
Matilda (VIC) 70 v Mr Quaddie (VIC) 278
Crackone (VIC) 68 v YoungBuck (VIC) 100
Chuck (NSW) 52 v Makybe Diva (QLD) 23
Reded (NSW) 218 v Crash (VIC) 0
Try Try Again (VIC) 50 v Raw Instinct (QLD) ???
Maverick1993 (QLD) 56 v Horse Whisperer (QLD) 74
Goldcoaster (NSW) 50 v Sirpent (NSW) 88

Yes, I must say it does make it easier if people just stick to their original selections and reserves. But if people do want to make changes on Saturday morning because some of their horses are scratched, then they can.

looks like i am popular then upto you sportz I couldn't care less to be honest the problem was at the time I couldn't find a sub i wanted to have and when I had a chance to sit down and look at perth I would have rathered have just picked the lot of my horses over there the races on this side of the country were pitiful.

I just do not have a great deal of time and it was the only reason I picked last night only to wake up this morning and find out i wasn't going to have to work today which was supposed to happen.

I appologise and from now on I won't post my tips till late and if i miss out then so be it.

man,,i couldnt even beat a guy who probably didnt even have time to do form ,,, i'm throwing a dart next week,,

Well done HW :) but us Maroons really struggled this week,,,we'll get next time ,,

Chuck had same feature race selection Disqualified!:P

Yeah, I had a shocker! :o

I'm definitely starting the comeback next week though.

Hey Crash,

It looks like the Battle of the Cellar Dwellers next week.

Hope neither of us are Tanking and already looking for early Draft picks!

Let's make it a high scoring encounter (to help out our Vic team) with the best tipster winning.

Geez, the blues had a good day. And so did the big V.

As for us Maroons, well there's always next week. ;)

Go the BLUES

Why couldn't Master Tiangar hang on for 3rd grrrr it cost me my all up the place not to mention another $62 added to my score

Good Luck next week everyone
