PWJ Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Round 10 - Saturday Mar 18 Comp Race 10 - The Valley R9 1st - 2 Bank Maur W-$6.30 (a PJ mating quinella!) 2nd - 7 Suizuro Q-$165.20 Scr: 8(L) 3 REAPERS (1st) $1625.80 3 points 2 DESPERADOS (4th) $807.00 0 points Bye: KELLY'S HEROES (2nd) $995.00 1 point The Desperados' hopes were never raised in the last so The Reapers for whom Hesi (with a BB) and Moose scored, held on to win taking a bonus point for a team profit. Secret Squirrel got the final collect for The Desperados for whom Maurice was MVP. Moose - with a big score - pipped Antz for Man of the Match honours. Jamison got the final winner for Kelly's Heroes who took a point for coming 2nd on aggregate with Wrinkles their MVP. 565.80 Antz 84 Mike 83 Tassie Tiger 149 Secret Squirrel 324 Hesi 64 Rex 569 Moose 283 Maurice 84 Tom 227 Sharne 104 Roland 243 Wrinkles 238 Heather 189 Gordy 221 Jamison 4 DREAM TEAM (3rd) $1095.00 3 points 1 MAX FACTORY (8th) $697.40 0 points The Dream Team - for whom Stevie bagged a BB in the last to take Man of the Match honours - had it won before the final race with Max Factory enduring their 6th blank of the day. Pam was Match Star for the Factory. The Dream Team took a bonus point for the 4-1 margin. 204 Ziggy 194.40 Pam 318 Stevie N 0 Rob 243 PJ 155 Max 227 Ian 173 Jen 103 Howie 175 Harewood 1 UNION JACKS (6th) $1228.40 0 points 4 COYOTES (5th) $2387.20 5 points The Union Jacks' savior result never looked likely so The Coyotes scored a comfortable win ending with real fireworks as Craig snagged the juicy quinella and Maria bagged an absolute ripper BB quinella to post a personal score to almost match the UJ's team total ! Craigs quinella also saw him run down Geoff at the death for a maximum points return. Accordingly the Coyotes took bonus points for a team profit and 5-0 margin. Maria was of course supreme Match Star while Geoff pipped Tonka for Union Jacks' MVP honours. 163 Jack 239 Ray 136 Gee 152 Rees 411.60 Tonka 1220.80 Maria 19 Punter Pete 239 Graeme 498.80 Geoff 536.40 Craig 3 BELIEVERS (9th) $588.20 2 points 2 RAMONES (7th) $1022.00 1 point Dunkel was no chance after going about 23 wide on the tight Moonee Valley final bend so The Believers held on for a long awaited win with Lightning Blue getting the final winner to claim team MVP honours. Richie - with 7 winners - had an outstanding Man of the Match performance also labeling the Arrowfield-bred winner in the last. The Ramones took a bonus point for a superior aggregate - difficult to achieve with just 3 in play. There has been considerable debate on the selection posting thread regarding Sarah and Jason's missing selections. You can read my decision there. 103.20 Trotslover 720.80 Richie 158 Lightning Blue - Sarah 84 Robert - Jason 136 Smiler 126 Mardy 107 Blind Squirrel 175.20 Steve P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Just a quick thanks to Rex and your Desperados. It was still winnable for you guys with a 2-3 races to go, but not to be. We will take the win, well played Reapers, 2 or 3 always step up to the mark. Let's hope a few overtake us in the next few weeks, or that triple joker will be looking a bit sad Thanks as always PJ, handled professionally and competently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Lead the way for some 12 to 15 years Maxi, long before you arrived. Yeah sure I know my efforts weren't ever appreciated - 33 of 36 - but I did unfailingly manage to fulfil my Captaincy role, as I said, for 12 to 15 years. You may not think so Maxi ... but there would be an admittedly small pocket of participants present and past who would say that I did my bit. Certainly we never went in a man (or woman) down on my watch. Hesi is of the view that 'we try our best'.

Despite what you might think,some of us have lives outside of Raceplace on a Saturday.Last week I got unexpectedly tied up for longer than I thought.We have a group chat and everybody posted in that early so I had checked for scratchings and when we didnt have any I wasnt that worried and decided I didnt need to check anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 14 minutes ago, Maximus said: yep, Maxi is just a newbie in comparison. One idea that I thought had merit was for a (random) set of picks to be on standby for unexpected circs - eg Blind Squirrel today MM Yes Max but that just creates more issues. Who compiles the picks and who posts them ? What happens if two people don't post ? What happens if they are actual opponents in the HTHs ? It IS a team contest so some component of teamwork is needed. It just needs someone from each team to be available at 1 hour from the start of each race to make sure everyone has posted. Doesn't have to be the Captain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 As Richie says we all have lives outside of here but we are just asking that one member of each team is organized to be online at a specific time on a Saturday morning for 5 mins. It's not too much to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
