Take that back no subs posted for Umrum so you can't do that anyway

Well, Vintrack didn't manage a place. Fair dinkum, I can't believe that 4 tipsters who had all been going pretty well recently could all have such a shocker on the same day!!! I'm disappointed that I couldn't manage more than 28 points with 6 tips! It just shows how much of a certainty Gold Edition was. Even we couldn't stop her today!

Anyway, as I said, although umrum and myself ended up dead level, I'm going to award umrum the win, on the basis that he had one less tip than me.

So the Grand Final on Saturday will be:

Umrum v Raw Instinct

Well all I can say is bad luck to Sportz and Panther you guys have been great all the way through the comp I have pretty much just snuck up in this thing not really being a high seed.

It was an awful days betting so hard to get anything up unless you were either happy to take something real short or something completely out of left field that was what it felt like to me was happy to just post a win for the day personally but even that only came in my last 3 bets of the day in Chandonne, Flion Fenea & Prend (was ecstatic to get Prend home she owes me plenty thankfully nothing anymore)


I'll get in early and say good luck for saturday Umrum hopefully we can both put up some big points for a good final I personally can't believe I got this far got lucky when Timboon fell short on Cup day.

Yeah, it would certainly have been better if the preliminary finals had been won more decisively or if we had all tipped better today. But that's the way it goes. Bad luck to Panther who finished on top of the table. Personally, I have nobody but myself to blame for my poor performance today. I went away from the stategy that had been so successful for me over the past 14 weeks, and tipped differently today. Dumb move.

Anyway, here we are:

Good Luck today Umrum hopefully you haven't got many tips the same I usually try to pick horses most don't want to pick anyway.

Sportz thank you for your effort once again yet another enormous effort in this comp as always well done mate.

Good luck guys. Of course after Thursday's disaster you realise that both Sportz and I will probably tip the card today
