Thanks Arletta - I have been doing some serious speed works from the gate so looks like I have a lot of early speed this year :)

I really like Steele Tango and had a nice bit on him today.

Congrats to anyone who hit anything today, here or in real life... welcome to the forum, Dylan Burke and Brock... thank you for running the contest!

Can't wait till the next time!

(My TVG account can). :wf

Well, I would soundly criticize such an inglorious start, but then it would reflect badly on the 4 comrades who matched my score.


Thank you for the welcome "Miss".
And to echo your sentiments: thank you BrockGuy for the contest and I, too, look forward to next week :confused:, for I can't do any worse.

You'll be backing up at the 8th pole if I know you :D

I have made a slight change to the scoring so instead of profit and loss, it is amount returned. That way, there is no disincentive to play each week - so the modified scores are as follows:

Rank Name Week 1 Total
1 brockguy 920
2 merasmag 717.15
3 NoChanceToDance 300
4 mclem0822 80
4 jaripeo 80
6 Linny 40
7 viscount26 0
7 The Bart 0
7 PatCummings 0
7 my miss storm cat 0
7 Dylan Burke 0
7 Arletta 0

Wow, i'm up to 4th, no complaints here Brock!:D

Oh Shut up :p

The new method is better. I was $950 back of the leader originally. Now I'm only $920 behind.
:p

See? Good things DO happen every day. :D

It's nice to see you up at the top, Brock.

I vaguely remember last year and well yeah.. it's nice to see you in the opposite place this time and so far.

I plan on being a deep closer in this contest so expect me to be at 0 for quite a while. *



* Hopefully not through the entire contest. :wf :D: :confused:

I'm like the Hugo Chávez of this contest - I can do as I please :)

Posting early selections this week in transit from London to Sydney, which probably means they'll be bad picks, but here goes.

R1 - Tybalt, Solid Choice (alt; Swinging Sixties)
R2 - Terrific Challenge, Noble Heir (alt; Star Crowned)
R3 - Signs In The Sand, Bridgefield (alt; Janood)
R4 - Here To Win, Kingsfort (alt; Derbass)
R5 - Spring Of Fame, Kal Barg (alt; Haatheq)
R6 - Aspectoflove (NAP), Deem (alt; River Jetez)
R7 - Azmeel, Simon De Montford (alt; High Twelve)

If I get time, I may change things around afterI've had longer to look at things, but I'm fairly happy with these at the moment.

Oh I thought you already went back!

Did you see who is in the 2nd?

Weren't you looking for Sahara Kingdom for a long time?

* * *

Brock, I like the change!

If I need to sit out any race it'll only be the ones Hattan is in.

Bad luck and all...
