Hey Howie,
Do you remember this?

TABLE after Round 4
1st 10 Roughnecks $3056.80
2nd 8 MX5 $4641.00
3rd 8 Lowdown $3152.00
4th 6 Hot Toddys $3881.20
5th 5 Usain Colt $2939.80
6th 5 Crazy Horse $2733.80
7th 3 Piko $2856.40

It must be the same feeling for the Roughnecks, that the jockeys on frontrunners had, when they turned around and saw Winx coming.
 

and   we were  last  4 few weeks

Also, I don't think there has ever been any prize money offered, people play for the enjoyment, such is the beauty of the format

And, I think we have all seen, if you start tinkering with the rules or format, you have to be very careful.  So over the years, new twists have been added, but the basic format is essentially unchanged.

That's right folks, I'm a Rising Star. 

Just like Edmonds baking powder. "sure to rise". Bit of an anti climax Howie as I got my Star as well. Still waiting for the pressys, you know Card, Wine, Basket with goodies in it, mind you it might be held up what with Jaffa Land being shut. I await with much expectation.:classic_tongue:

yeah, Rees, nothing much that I enjoy more than turning on the news each night and seeing the first 10 minutes completely dedicated to all the happiness through the rest of NZ as they move down alert levels sipping their store-bought coffees, eating their store-bought fish & chips, etc, etc. 🤔
The word 'tactless' comes to mind. 😒

Very early days .... and while it's great for the Piko to have jumped with wings on every hoof, the high calibre of the MX5 lineup is such that it isn't a matter of if the fightback will come ...it's simply a matter of when. 🙂

Roughnecks go ahead with Mouton (3-zip ahead if it pays $8.30+ or Blood Warrior completes the Q) or He Can Sing while Blood Warrior or Tiny Terror help

Lowdown go ahead with Powerful Moss or Agey Babe

Hot Toddys favour Powerful Moss x 3, Sacrosant x 2, Blood Warrior x 2, Agey Babe, Ever So Easy, Mouton

MX5 can pull one back with Sacrosant (pull two back if it pays $8.30+ or Agey Babe completes the Q), Mouton (must pay $8.30+ or Blood Warrior complete the Q) or Tiny Terror (must pay $8.30+ or Sacrosant complete the Q) while Blood Warrior helps

Piko hoping none of the above happens....

Roughnecks go 3-1 ahead with Packing Noblesse (4-zip clear if it pays $8.30+) or Bounty while Ihu helps

Lowdown go ahead with Marchioness and go 3-1 ahead with Angelica

Hot Toddys favour Angelica x 5, Marchioness x 4, Packing Noblesse x 2, Ihu

MX5 can pull one back with Bounty (must pay $8.30+ or Packing Noblesse complete the Q) and can seize the lead with Packing Noblesse (must pay $8.30+ while quinellas with either Bounty, Ihu or Angelica may get some of their team ahead if under $8.30) while Angelica helps 

Piko helped by Ihu (++) or Marchioness

Roughnecks can pull one back with Tahuroa Height or River Run (must pay LESS than $3.50 or Lowdown go further ahead) and draw level with Kaareraway (and go ahead if it pays $13.10+ or River Run completes the Q) or Zenntari

Lowdown* go further ahead with Barbara or Pursued while El Nymph, Charred or Viktor Vegas help

Hot Toddys favour El Nymph x 4, River Run x 4, Viktor Vegas x 3, Barbara x 3, Razors Edge, Kaareraway

Max notes with a degree of realism that despite troubling the scorer in R3 to the tune of $144, MX5 are further behind!

Max notes with a slightly raised eyebrow that Piko have one 'common selection' in all 10 Comp races...ie all 5 selectors have these horsies ...

Rapid Falls, Tiny Terror, Ihu, Kaareraway, Breezon, Marboosha, Mystic Journey, In The Congo, Zoutori and Keiau Nautique 

..that aint no coincidence, and so far, they are 1 for 3 ...  Mrs W's Purse of All Things is being raided even as we speak to put the stoppers on as many of them as possible!

Who is their top tipster?
