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

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

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...

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