What a week for the tipping comp! Seven races and only one favourite winning. A $70 winner and utter chaos basically – including from members on track and at house parties around this wide brown land. We are now over halfway through the comp completing 28 of 51 races and the leaderboard is starting to take shape. 19 tipsters were in the positive, whilst 14 copped negative $700 across the snout!

Damo proved that you only need one big winner to put yourself in contention. He had $50ew on Rocketing By in the Sydney Stakes at a lazy $70.40/15.50 to profit $3595 for the round. He had no other returns and tipped mostly roughies. He now leads the comp so will be interesting to see if he changes his strategy this week.

Simmo was second for the round with $1835 after having $25/$50 on Rocketing By. Sim unfortunately changed his strategy this round, which has cost him dearly, but he’s back in the mix and unlikely to claim another wooden spoon now. Stone Cold Steve Austin was in third on $1570 after having $100 on Giga Kick ($19.90) in the Everest and $100 on Ellsberg in the Five Diamonds Prelude. A shout out to the three guys who had $100 place on Giga Kick (ouch).


Overall, Damo has taken the lead on $2,235 after coming from third bottom last round. Timbo has been relegated to second on $1049.50 after a difficult round of -$578. Turtle, as his name suggests, has taken the slow and steady approach and quietly moved into third on $980. Also special mentions to Ovs and Rodda for scoring over $1000. 20 tipsters are now in the positive for the season.


In the Captain Consistency award five guys are currently tied on 5 points (Chris Mc, Law, MoreChilli, Simmy49 and Turtle).


Round 9 will kick off with the Geelong Cup on Wednesday, which also counts towards the Country Cup King. Tips will be open later today. We then move to the Manikato Stakes on Friday at the world’s greatest race track according to Millers. We then have a further 5 races to tip on Saturday, headlined by the Cox Plate.
