Yes it does, but I've yet to see that result in 5 years of entering the comp on the other site. Even if that does eventuate all in sundry will know who carrys the superior form by the selection wins.

Here's a sample from two years ago.

[i]The ultra consistent Hollypet delivered yet again under extreme pressure in the final round to retake the lead from The Kid when his old favourite Raw Instinct won the Listed Brisbane Handicap. The win also won Holly the last round from the Perth wiz, Portside. An outstanding performance Holly, Well done.

Third prize goes to Grovel who also demonstrated admirable consistency in selecting 10 winners and four quinellas (twice as many as anyone else)
Unofficial Final Standings (subject to confirmation by Portside)
Member Winners Quinellas Dividends
Hollypet 17 2 $ 1,1337
The Kid 9 $ 1,065
Grovel 10 4 $ 652
Greg 4 2 $ 498
Freemason 3 2 $ 479
Franga 7 2 $ 474
Brian Mc 10 1 $ 375
William 4 1 $ 355
Mr dougie 6 2 $ 312
Piping Lane 5 1 $ 308
JohnnyA 7 $ 290 [/i]
The Quinnys in Group races are sometimes pretty hard to come by.

Most of the blokes on that site are pretty astute judges, a couple of pros, a bookie & a few of them are owners. Yes they do go the rough quinny at the end, none have succeeded though. It's more about giving credit to members who can pick the winners of the big Group 1's than any prizemoney involved.
We could go with a number of selection wins, but that just stifles the comp with everyone jumping on the favs.
Alternitavely we could dump the Quinny in favour of another win or maybe place selection.

Majority rules Grubby, so any suggestions are welcome

MT79 has declared himself as under the odds
Dutchy and Shiek are now the equal 2nd favourites
If MAXB sends a post through he will shorten appreciably.
Another Grub has been well specked on odds.
Wedgie has not been supported .

Marju Snip showed some excellent form earlier this year, including winning 3 or 4 races on the trot in Adelaide. One definately to follow.

I'll have a crack at it and I'll have a side wager on myself at $41 as well seeing as my only wagers so far were successful.

Hi folks,

Sounds like an interesting idea, and ol' Perce will be in it. I like the $14 on offer, but as I always say, it doesn't matter what odds you get if they don't get up!
