Etiquette

1. Please refrain from comment on the selections thread
2. Please attempt to make one selection per line

e.g.

not

Sydney

Race 7 #8 Silently

(this makes my job easier)

3. If you change your selections, be precise and clear on what selections you are making.

Fours,

First Fours are my preferred betting medium and I mentioned them in my posts here a little while back during a discussion on staking plans.

A nice day indeed although my luck 'evened out' elsewhere on the day.

Not exactly a shrinking violet so I will own up to being Quatro on another forum and myself Terry Styles on another forum again.

Plenty of time for you guys to knock me off though.

Authorised,

Yes real money on all of those.

I really did have my share of bad luck though eg in La Rocket's case the short favourite ( >$2.50 clear ) ran second and the 2nd favourite ( also >$2.50 clear from 3rd fav ) ran third so the first four divdend was much less than it might have been!

You can't please some people!

Selections in the last 3 races at Flemington today were treated as scratchings.

Note that you will have re-select next Saturday.

Tips from today will NOT be carried forward.

(just have to make that clear).

Welcome to the forum, at the risk of perhaps upsetting some I will offer my interpretation of the rules: this comp 'FORUM $500 COMP #1' STARTS 20th FEBRUARY, CONCLUDES 24th APRIL  If your a good tipster could easily catch up - read the rules in the opening thread. Perhaps send PoisonPen7 a Private Message (PM) for clarification.

Black type races are also known as stakes races I believe.

In Australia we have about 180 Group 1,2 & 3 races per year.

We have Listed races also known as Black type.. There is about 180 of these as well.

I'm not sure if "Quality" races are black type or not & whether there a subset of listed races?

Anyway I reckon that makes for a quality race every day of the year if averaged out - In theory there's no reason to bet in crappy races smiley

For the purposes of the competition, black type is listed class and above.

(so named for the way they appear in the catelogue at sales I believe).

I protest, you tricked me PP7 by listing race 8 as SR8 - Not black type. It always pays to read everything in full.  blush

What's the story re Fastnet Rock?

Is he still with us?

If not, then what's the status of his participation in this comp?
