Boxed a trifecta @ 20% with nos 1,2,3,4,8,9,12,14,18 and 23.

For fun I also boxed nos 1, 11 and 9 (which jumps from Barrier 11) given the date today is 1/11/11

Nice work Squawk

[Booney]

My Cup bets :

$20 e/w Dunaden

[Booney]

I'm in a punters club at my local. 20 people paid up $50 each to take place in it.

Pick one horse in each of the 10 races. 3 points for first, 2 for second, 1 for third. Winner takes all, $1000. For a tie, a count back on who had the most winners.

My tips for the day :

R1 - 3 = 0 POINTS
R2 - 3 = 2nd - 2 POINTS
R3 - 4 = 0 POINTS
R4 - 8 = 0 POINTS
R5 - 2 = 2 POINTS ( TOTAL 4 FROM 5 RACES, IM BUGGERED )
R6 - 2 = 3 POINTS ( 7 )
R7 - 3 = 3 POINTS ( 10 )
R8 - 4
R9 - 2
R10 - 16

I'll edit and update this during the day.

Good luck Booney - looks like the "conservative" approach in race 9 (Conservatorium) and a plea for divine intervention in race 10 (Saint Angers), but they could get you there! Where are you on the leaderboard after race 8 and are your competitors picking different horses to you for the last 2 races?
