PWJ Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 To win: Turbos need- Antino to win it for Blind Squirrel Highlanders need- Mr Brightside or Antino to win for Craig OR Pinstriped to win for Howie (must pay LESS than $14.60) Swamp Foxes v Magpies Very hard to predict due to the tied match where Robert has Mr Brightside (BB) vs Stevie N with Antino (BB) Cannot see a permutation where the Swampies can win but maybe someone else can ?? Blues cannot win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I had Pinstripe pencilled in last night, then changed to Antino this morning !!! Well done Peter, too good for me today, and the Ferdies too good for the BLUES. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 ROUND 4 - Saturday August 31 Comp Race 10 - Caulfield R9 1st - 5 Pinstriped W-$14.00 2nd - 1 Mr Brightside Q-$14.60 Scr: nil 4 FERDIES (4th) $882.20 3 points 1 BLUES (1st) $659.20 0 points The Ferdies had it won before the last where everyone missed ! Gordy was MVP for The Blues and unlucky to draw Man of the Match PJ. The Ferdies took a bonus point for the 4-1 margin. Thanks Blues and especially Gordy for putting up a spirited fight. 169.20 Heather 105 Moose 119 Geoff 81 Rich 192.20 Maurice 122.60 Roland 122.40 Hesi 151.20 Pete 279.40 PJ 199.40 Gordy 3 CHIEFS (7th) $1116.40 2 points 2 TURBOS* (2nd) $1084.20 0 (x 2 Joker play) equals 0 points Antino - the Turbos big hope - missed the start and finished on late but was never going to overhaul the winner, so the Chiefs held on for a much-needed win. Man of the Match Steve P (6 winners) and Gee made the final collects for The victors while Ziggy (Manawatu MVP) and Ray snagged quinellas in the last for The Turbos who got no return from their Joker play. 161.20 Gee 351.20 Ray 456.20 Steve P 71.20 Gary 150.60 Porky 408.40 Ziggy 216.20 Jack 171.20 Our Maizcay 132.20 Tom 82.20 Blind Squirrel 3 SWAMP FOXES*** (6th) $1161.60 2 (x 3 Triple Joker play) equals 6 points 2 MAGPIES (3rd) $1195.40 1 point Dramatic finish with Robert beating Stevie N on count-back with Mr Brightside (2nd) ahead of Antino (4th) but it was Punter Pete who was the hero grabbing a beaut BB on the Ben Allen winner to roll Richie and win it for The Swamp Foxes giving them a successful Triple Joker play. The Magpies, for whom Secret Squirrel was Man of the Match despite only tipping 2 winners, took a bonus point for a $33.80 better aggregate ! The late flourish from Punter Pete earned him MVP honours for The Swampies. 359 Punter Pete 283 Richie 337.20 Robert (on countback) 337.20 Stevie N 119.20 Jamison 361.20 Secret Squirrel 147.20 Black Caviar 170 Jason 199 Tassie Tiger 44 Ian 2 KAURI KATS* (8th) $1360.40 2 points (x 2 Joker play) equals 4 points 3 HIGHLANDERS (5th) $1209.80 2 points Exciting finish saw Howie find the Street Boss winner to gallop past Graeme to win his HTH and the match for the Highlanders after a great battle all day between the teams. However all was not lost for The Kauri Kats with Anita also finding the final winner to ensure a better aggregate for The Kats AND a team profit which with the Joker play enabled them to double their points haul. Lightning Blue with 6 winners was MVP for the victors while Captain Sharne with 7 winners was an impressive Match Star. 210 Anita 215.20 Midnight Caller 430.60 Sharne 71.20 Rob 215.40 Dee 358 Lightning Blue 277 Rex 259.20 Craig 227.40 Graeme 306.20 Howie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 TABLE AFTER ROUND 4 Leaders after 3 rounds - The Blues - lost their match today and failed to take a point so slipped back to 2nd as their conquerors - The Ferdies - took over at the top. The Swamp Foxes scored a late win after being 1-3 down heading into the last and vaulted up 3 spots to 3rd with a successful Triple Joker play. The Turbos slipped two places to 4th after an unsuccessful Joker play while The Magpies who also lost today also gave up 2 spots dropping to 5th. The Kauri Kats lost but still scooped up a couple of bonus points - doubled with a Joker play - to rise two places to 6th. The Highlanders won and still dropped two spots while The Chiefs suffered a similar fate - winning their match but dropping a place into the cellar. 1st 10 points Ferdies $4778.20 2nd 10 points Blues $4305.80 3rd 10 points Swamp Foxes^ $3998.40 4th 9 points Turbos*^ $4265.40 5th 8 points Magpies* $3849.60 6th 7 points Kauri Kats* $4893.60 7th 6 points Highlanders $4359.60 8th 6 point Chiefs $3671.20 Stats and draw for next week later.

Sir Gallivant Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Thanks PJ, great work as usual especially having to sort out the late scr of Skybird. Despite the narrow loss, what a great effort team, brilliant from team captain Sharne, very unlucky Anita missing by just five dollars but driving us over the profit line and with more dollars than our ops, very wellthought out Joker play Sharne, Thanks for a great match Craig, we certainly see-sawed our way through the match 😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
