END OF COMPETITION

I will post when race meetings come out each week.
First meeting is out www.harness.org.au will help you find the fields. Races 2,3,7 and 8!

Here is the pointscore system that we came up with at the end.
$1EW Fantasy bet
$2EW for double points races.
Scratching puts you on favourite.

Also for the last meeting Sun Feb 3 I would just like to get thoughts about the entire meeting being $2EW and then the Hunter Cup and V L Dullard Cup $3EW.

Iv’e made all the Grand Curcuit $2EW should I miss one etc we shall add that. Also I know a lot of people don’t like the trotters so thoughts on double points for that would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good Luck everyone.

I will kick things off

Race 2 #5 Yes I Can (probably be $1.60 but take the safe option)
Race 3 #3 Gary Bromac (has a rough hope of knocking off Whipair IMO)
Race 7 #10 Sting Lika Bee
Race 8 #5 No More Trouble

Actually think Whipair will win but couldn't pick every fav

[carltonblue]

[sethlad]

[stressless]

race 2 number6 spot the ace . race 3 number 1 dark shadow. race 7 number7 penny veejay . and finally race8 number 4 zerafoss. looking for a bit of value in each race. good luck with the comp.

 

[littlejack]

Good idea carltonblue,

R2 No.2 Deltas Dream..............Like her run at Geelong mid-week

R3 No.1 Dark Shadow From the pole can hopefully beat the odds on fav Whipair which is meant to be a champion horse.

R7 No.7 Penny Veejay to beat "STINGER", Penny broke the track record last week so should be up to this and at least get a place.

R8 No.1 Walberon to win the last in great fashion, leading all the way.

 

[arakaan]

R2 H9 Alamode
R3 H5 Hei Princelier
R7 H10 Sting Lika Bee
R8 H8 Walberon

 

[littlejack]

Does anyone know as to why Jagged Knight in race 4 is at such long odds? Is currently $23.90, I cant work that out considering it beat Captain Kalahari during the year and also won a trial leading all the way and is drawn to lead from 2???????

I realise Smoken up is the real deal but Jagged knight is way overs at anything $10 or up.

 

[Daniel138]

Rc 2 - 5 Yes I can
Rc 3 - 4 Belepheron
Rc 7 - 3 Robin Hood
Rc 8 - 1 Walberon

Good idea carltonblue,

R2 No.2 Deltas Dream..............Like her run at Geelong mid-week - 3rd paid 1.70

R3 No.1 Dark Shadow From the pole can hopefully beat the odds on fav Whipair which is meant to be a champion horse. - 1st paid 7.30 and 1.50

R7 No.7 Penny Veejay to beat "STINGER", Penny broke the track record last week so should be up to this and at least get a place. - 2nd paid 1.30

R8 No.1 Walberon to win the last in great fashion, leading all the way. 3rd paid 1.20

Total for 1EW = $13

 

[Tassie Bulldog]

Get in early for week 2, have a shocking habit of forgetting to enter things like this until its too late.

Congrats to everybody who tipped very well last week, especially with Dark Shadow

R6#5 Courtygaz (safe ew bet is probably #1 but just can't see him winning)
R5#1 Mental Power (I don't bet in trot races but reckon he might lead early and hand up when the fav comes round and be a chance a running a hole at decent odds)
R7#3 Zerrafoss (not much gate speed off the front here and looks certain to be first to the pegs and then Gav can decide if he hands up or who he hands up to)

 

[littlejack]

Week 2 Selections.


Race 5 No. 12 - Acacia Ridge first start back from a spell, should pick up these even off 20m over 2575m.

Race 6 No. 1 - Bold Cruiser, should be able to lead and hopefully hold these out.

Race 7 No. 5 - Dark Shadow, should continue his winning ways finding a nice sit early and getting over the top of these.

 

[sethlad]

R5 H9 No Early Spark...terrific 1st up,e/w at the odds
