PWJ Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 To win: Swamp Foxes need- Alegron to win for Rees OR Arnaqueur to win for Maria Chiefs need- Arnaqueur to win for Ian and Punter Pete Blues need- Hard to extrapolate this one due to the tied match. Howie has Arnaqueur & French Emperor while Wrinkles has gone for Head of State and Profondo. Neither of Howie's pair will get the Blues the win though. Looks like the Blues can't win but happy to be proven wrong. The Ferdies can't win but can take one match off the Otago boys with Notions, Head of State, Algernon, Profondo or Arnaqueur (take two off at $13.40+) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Round 1 - Saturday September 25 Race 10 - Rosehill R91st - 2 Head of State W-$5.10 2nd - 6 Profondo Q-$10.30 Scr: 13,16 4 TURBOS $1099.40 3 points 1 CHIEFS $654.40 0 points Arnaqueur only battled in the straight so The Turbos held on to win with all their team except Steve finding the J Mac winner with Ray, Ziggy and The Squirrel - their MVP - all doubling up with BBs to give the aggregate a healthy boost. Stevie bagged a nice BB quinella on his own for The Chiefs in the last which secured him Man of the Match honours. The Turbos took a bonus point for the 4-1 margin. 173.00 Ziggy 59.80 Ian 339.60 Blind Squirrel 12.00 Jack 91.60 Steve P 365.00 Stevie N 261.20 Ray 129.80 Punter Pete 234.00 Gary 87.80 Gee 3 MAGPIES $1187.40 2 points 1 BLUES $997.40 0 points The Magpies had it won before the last where Hesi, Blazes and Wrinkles all labeled the quinella with Wrinkles finally triumphing over Howie. Gordy bagged a BB in the last to pass Porky and restrict the Magpies to the minimum winning margin while Pete also bagged a BB to take Man of the Match honours with a great score on a difficult day and Geoff also went out with a collect. Newcomer Blazes was a very impressive MVP on debut for the Bay boys. No bonus points were scored. 139.00 Rob 497.00 Pete 462.20 Blazes 127.00 Roland 83.60 Wrinkles 12.00 Howie 167.80 Porky 250.60 Gordy 334.80 Hesi 110.80 Geoff 3 KAURI KATS $812.80 2 points 2 SWAMP FOXES $742.40 0 points The Swamp Foxes had two chances to steal it in the last but Alegron's 4th was the closest they got with Robert (with a BB) and Man of the Match Von Smallhausen (6 winners) completing their scoring. Pam and The Kats' MVP Sharne also found the Waller winner in the last each with best bets. Robert managed to nail Max but Pam reeled in Richie to preserve the Kats' victory. No bonus points were earned. 122.00 Graeme 78.00 Maria 300.80 Sharne 44.00 Rees 173.00 Pam 72.00 Richie 146.00 Jen 383.60 Von Smallhausen 71.00 Max 164.80 Robert 1 FERDIES $882.40 0 points 4 HIGHLANDERS $1109.40 3 points The Otago boys had it wrapped up before the last but they were denied an extra bonus point when Maurice landed a beaut BB quinella to collar Craig with Heather also snagging the quinella. Happy went 3-for-3 in the last on his own for the Highlanders who took a bonus point for a 4-1 margin. Mardy was Man of the Match for the victors while Maurice, finding form back in the Amber-and-Gold, was 'Naki MVP. 103.00 Tom 144.00 Rex 312.00 Maurice 186.80 Craig 12.00 Zac 195.60 Happy 276.80 Heather 351.80 Mardy 178.60 PJ 228.20 Rusty TABLE after ROUND 1 1st 3 HIGHLANDERS $1109.40 2nd 3 TURBOS $1099.40 3rd 2 MAGPIES $1187.40 4th 2 KAURI KATS $812.80 5th 0 BLUES $997.40 6th 0 FERDIES $882.40 7th 0 SWAMP FOXES $742.20 8th 0 CHIEFS $654.40 The harness lads of the Highlanders made a great start defeating the Ferdies with the day's 2nd best tally and were never behind at any stage. The Turbos also enjoyed a dominant win and lie just behind the leaders on aggregate. Wins for the Magpies and Kauri Kats see them in the top half of the table after the first round while the remaining 4 teams look to next week to find some improvement. Looks like it's going to be a fairly close comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst on Maurice (now the horse) I saw a lovely 2yo by him trained by Gai & Adrian that won the first trial on Monday. Many thanks PJ for your efforts. To my team ......... Well done , who'd of thought us Southern Harness boys would be in front albeit on countback! I should take a photo!! Until next week see ya's then, Looking forward to Aussie Rules Final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind Squirrel Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Thanks to the Chiefs today - the Turbos came out on top but one result could have changed the whole picture - something that never ceases to amaze me in these comps. Not a great day for my opponent Jack but he will bounce back like the good man he is. Good stuff Turbos - very positive start and something to build on! Thanks PJ - your magic touch appreciated as always. Until next week - go the Ab's and go Europe in the Ryder Cup - just don't want to hear that USA chant again! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Thanks for the match today, Howie and the Blues, a great win for the lowly Magpies, we wheeled out one of our secret weapons today, in Blazes(Roger), but the whole team played pretty well, squawked above our weight you could say All you had to do Howie, was take a Piko special, In The Congo, and you would have beaten Wrinkly, and taken a 3-2 win. Great win today Magpies, with the top aggregate, might have to adjust the market prices.

Also got checked back when the Mitigator tried to slow the pace at around the 1000m mark.
