The annual Brekky Creek Bash on Stradbroke Eve is looming large.

I'm offering a FREE steak (with the standard BCH trimmings) as a prize for a competition that starts from tomorrow and ends on May 30.

All you need to do is post a selection for a Brisbane metropolitan meeting (Doomben or Eagle Farm, including mid-weeks. GC Prime Minister's Cup Day included). Since some of us have difficulty finding WINNERS, you're free to nominate a LOSER if you think that's a better option. But you must give the reasoning behind your selection. I'd expect Mono will say "trained by Robbie Heathcote, ran a good 7th last start". Regardless of the outcome, that won't even get him on to the short list. I'd expect to see something like this:

TO WIN EF Race 1 #13 BOUGETTE Lightly-raced mare resuming. Won first up last campaign on a slow track. In smart stable and looks like being good odds.

OR

TO LOSE EF Race 1 #3 MICHELLE CAFEA Has had a solid preparation and stepping up to 1400 for the first time. Soft track makes it tougher for her. Will be in the market again.

The winner will be chosen by yours truly on May 31, after consideration of the price of the winner (or loser) and the veracity of the reasoning behind the selection. For example, if someone nominates an odds-on favourite as a loser, and offers reasoning that is born out in the race, they'll be a strong contender for the prize. Depending on circumstances, I might prepare a progressive short list.

As always, the Rules are simple.

1. Entries must be in by noon on the day of the race.

2. One entry per day per person. (There's no requirement to enter every race-day.)

3. Post must be clear as to whether the nomination is for WIN or LOSE.

4. If the winner is unable to attend the Forum BCH function on Friday 5th June, a proxy may be nominated.

4. (a) If the winner or proxy is vegetarian, a suitable meal of equivalent value will be arranged.

5. The judge's decision is FINAL, and no debate will be entertained.

6. If ya not happy with ANY of the above, don't enter.

Good luck to all.

As I won't be attending the BCH this year because of family engagements, will I still be able to enter and donate my winning prize to someone that will be attending?

I"ll go if DD is shouting. lol

I'll risk making a fool of myself by say CHAKVETADZE will get beat in the 5th tomorrow.

Only just got home over this distance last time over this distance. If we get anymore rain the track won't suit and I've noticed this rider has missed the jump a couple ot times in the last few weeks so the inside gate won't help.

Besides this will win at good odds ;)ASHLEE'S JEWEL

Are we allowed to plagirise some like people do? Can we use sectional times as a means to finding a winner? lol

Doesn't matter with the answers...I won't be at the Brekky Creek this year so waste of time entering the comp for me, but gee it is a good prize and i hope someone takes the photo when dd has to put his hand into his pocket to pay for the steak. chin

Larsy, I ran that past my legal team, and after some deliberation, the opinion received is:

"Notwithstanding Rule 4, there would be a distinct risk of litigation if the requested option was not granted."

I have amended the opening thread accordingly.

Have never had a free feed in my life, so I am looking forward to this. cool

To win:

EF R6 # 6 PUNCH UP
This has been running fair races at this level by running up on the pace then being run down in the straight by horses taking a sit behind. Today the set wgts makes it harder for the swoopers, particularly if this gets an easy run. The shorter distance helps as well. I expect Punch Up to show good gate speed and cross to lead, then sprint from the 350, gain a break and hold on. sweat

DD I like the rib fillet thanks. I am King
