    must they be used in the breeders cup?
    are we allowed to add these to our current 6points for the week and bet a monster 12points on one race?
    will it snow this christmas?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,937 ✭✭✭fade2black


    I think you know the answers to both questions. I know how much you'd love to put 12 points on some 1/4 shot running at some godforsaken place....:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 520 ✭✭✭frodi


    Can you split the six points over 2/3/4/5/6 different horses or must it all be on the one horse?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,937 ✭✭✭fade2black


    usually rules apply Frodi...use the points as you please

    Are we settling on industry SP or US tote?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    SP's I'd imagine.

    Folklore with a superb win there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    Just a little note there lads, PriceWise picked the first two winners in the breeders cup. Never fails to impress.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭joe.


    Sorry for butting in folks, but I'm just wondering what the SP stands for in relation to betting?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    3/3 for pricewise, Silvertrain saved my bank account somewhat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,825 ✭✭✭Healio


    I have two outa four in the fantasy comp, yay!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,080 ✭✭✭Crumbs


    SP = Starting Price

    Also, just to note, it's the excellent James Willoughby who does Pricewise for the Breeders' Cup rather than the usual Tom Segal.

    Anybody know the rest of his selections I can't find them anywhere. I could do with a winner, I feel it's not going to be my night after backing Whipper in the mile, talking about unlucky.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,757 ✭✭✭masterK


    Some great tipping there lads, quite a few big priced winners. In particular well done to Davey Devil who looks to have this competition wrapped up after last night.

    Nice spreadsheet by the way crumbs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    Very well done Davey, just my luck that all the winners I had were not my choices in the competition hehe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭Davey Devil


    I didn't even get to see the races, was out on the piss. Nice suprise to help cure the hangover.

    Funnily enough my surname is also Willoughby.

    What did you all think of the ride Kinane gave Azamour BTW. I didn't think he gave the horse a chance of winning. Whether he would have beat Shirroco i don't know but he is certainly better than Ace!

    I was happy enough with the first four horses being from this side of the pond. I didn't get to see the race because I was out on the beer so I can't comment on Kinane's ride. Azamour was never going to win this race though.

    If I didn't the hangover would be awful ;)

    Good lad :)

    In the end I had Silvertrain, Artie Schiller, and a nice little e/w on Ace to finish in profit. Shame I didn't get to see all of the races though :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,080 ✭✭✭Crumbs


    Well done Davey, good picking.

    I had a 2nd, 3rd and two 4ths before Saint Liam helped me out in the Classic.

    Due to unforseen reasons, this thread...and all the selections on it, will have to be cancelled.

    Apologies,

    D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,757 ✭✭✭masterK


    Sure we never actually said that the breeders cup would be part of the main competition, I thought it was just for a bit of fun, sure I didn't even put any thought into my selections, honest!

    Agreed. We'll send Davey a brand spanking new pencil sharpener.

    Congrats DD.

    The team.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,541 ✭✭✭finnpark


    Seems very unfair to anyone who did really well :( - I don't mind because I ended up losing a small bit but to those who did well must be agrieved by this.

    It seems to me that it was cancelled due to the fact that "cancellors" did bad in this and said "well we did really bad in this so lets just cancel this part".

    This puts the whole competion into disrepute for those battling out for prizes at the top.

    Anyway good luck to all - my aim to avoid the wooden spoon.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,937 ✭✭✭fade2black


    *FinnPark.....we were only joking.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,541 ✭✭✭finnpark


    :o:o:o:D - So was I :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭Davey Devil


    Is it because of those pictures of me with the Arab blokes and the brown envolope??

    That was some other fella and that money was only resting in my account ;)
