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.

I have a plan. There are around 20 weeks to Stradbroke.

Now, as you have stated on several occasions, $5 a week is nothing to you - after all you burn it every week in your just joking subscription.

Sooooooo, put aside $5 a week from now to Straddy. That gives you around $100. That should cover a steak for you, ME, and RH. fry

Well. thats fair enough and a given---however--I feel I have lost out here chin

OK---that happens biggrin

Just got an email from TIGER offering me fares to Brissie $38 e/w from Sydney so if Tinkafied and I survive the Gold Coast in early march and I can find some beer and steak money it looks like I will be gracing Brekkie Creek with my presence again .
Looking forward to seeing all old friends and hopefully many new starters too.
