Slugger has taken out Round 11 profiting a total of $1213.50 on Derby Day and takes an early lead as Cup Week Hero. Slug had $100 on SWITZERLAND ($6.34) in the Coolmore and $50 on LAKE FOREST ($21.59) in the Golden Eagle. He in fact was the only tipster to find LAKE FOREST. Next best was Mick Banfield on $469 from Rish and Benny O’Brien on $440.
Overall, I have held onto a slender lead on $2,383.90 from Mick Jessop on $2,024.25. For integrity purposes I will ask Snake to vet all tips in the final rounds. Rish is back into third on $1,274.00.
Killa has extended his lead in the Captain Consistency, now on 7 points, from a host of tipsters on 5 points.
It’s a busy week of tips, and we move straight into the Cup and the Big Dance tomorrow, then the Oaks on Thurs. We also need to turn our attention to the ladies day poll. Please delve into your spank bank and reacquaint yourselves with any racing personalities who have caught your eye this year. Think jockeys, trainers, broadcasters and tipsters. Below is the final votes from last year. Surely we can add some freshies. Let me know who you’d like to add.
