Nefertiti continues setting a blistering pace. Andrew03 settles in second Triptych moves through teh field into a share of third with Pat and Delboy. Goodfellow gets into his stride while Eclipse First stumbles and drops back to last.

[cormack15]

After Race 4 – results assume California Flag beat Hoofit, I’ll amend if it turns out otherwise. RESULTS AMENDED – HOOFIT BEAT CALIFORNIA FLAG

Andrew03 – 10
Nereftiti – 9
Triptych – 8
Pat123 – 7
Aaornizneez – 7
Hot Fuss – 7
Textfitz – 7
Del Boy – 6
Bob Rolf – 6

Andrew03 takes it up after amended result! Field bunching up behind. Nathan Hughes shuffled back to rear.

[cormack15]

After Race 5 (results confirmed) –

Andrew03 – 11
Nereftiti – 10
Aaronizneez – 10
Del Boy – 9
Triptych – 9
Hot Fuss – 8
Eclipse First – 8
Textfitz – 8
Pat123 – 7
Bob Rolf – 7
Nathan Hughes – 6
Goodfellow – 5
CurlyCove – 4

Andrew03 still leading but queuing up behind. 14 pts still at stake so lots of action to come.

[cormack15]

Wow – great win there for the O’Brien axis.

After race 6 – three to go

Andrew03 – 14
Aaronizneez – 12
Triptych – 12
Del Boy – 11
Hot Fuss – 11
Nereftiti – 10
Eclipse First – 10
Pat123 – 9
Textfitz – 8
Bob Rolf – 7
Nathan Hughes – 7
Goodfellow – 7
CurlyCove – 6

Andrew03 sets sail for home and takes a two length lead. Aaronizneez still going well and Triptych creeping closer. Delboy and Hot Fuss still travelling within themselves. Nefertiti under pressure now and with only 11 pts left to play for those in single figures are going to need a couple of perfect scores to get into contention by the time they line up for the classic.

[cormack15]

After Race 7 – RESULT CONFIRMED

Aaronizneez – 15
Andrew03 – 14
Eclipse First – 13
Triptych – 12
Del Boy – 11
Hot Fuss – 11
Nereftiti – 11
Pat123 – 11
Textfitz – 10
Goodfellow – 9
Bob Rolf – 7
Nathan Hughes – 7
CurlyCove – 6

Aaronizneez, winner of the last two Breeders Cup tipping competitions, moves smoothly up on the outside to take the lead as they turn into the home straight.

Eclipse First making good headway, still on the bit, as Andrew03 begins to be pushed along.

All under pressure now behind that first three but still time, with 8 pts still at stake, for a late run.

[cormack15]

Wow – more drama. Here are the scores with just one race to go.

Aaronizneez – 18
Andrew03 – 16
Eclipse First – 16
Del Boy – 14
Pat123 – 14
Triptych – 13
Nereftiti – 13
Hot Fuss – 12
Textfitz – 12
Goodfellow – 11
Nathan Hughes – 9
CurlyCove – 8
Bob Rolf – 7

Aaronizneez staying on well down the stretch and looking strong. Eclipse First now in top gear and looking the danger. Andrew03 hanging on in there though and not finished with.

With only five points at stake it looks like it’s between those three.

Good luck all in the last.

[cormack15]

Going into the last here are selections of leading three –

Aaronizneez –
So You Think
Haver De Grace (Nap)
Stay Thirsty
Headache

Andrew03 –
Uncle Mo
Haver De Grace (Nap)
Game On Dude
Headache

Eclipse First –
So You Think
Haver De Grace (Nap)
Game On Dude
Headache

So it is all to do with the See You Think/Uncle Mo and Stay Thirsty/Game On Dude match ups.

Here’s the scenarios –
See You Think/Stay Thirtsy – Aaronizneez is champ
See You Think/Game On Dude – Aaronizneez is champ
Uncle Mo/Stay Thirsty – Aaronizneez is champ
Uncle Mo/Game On Dude – draw between Aaronizneez and Andrew03 (looks close on countback so could depend on whether either UM or GOD win or not)

[cormack15]

Great finish as Eclipse First challenges strongly approaching the wire but Aaronizneez has enough in the locker to hold him off. Andrew03 ran a great race but just didn’t quite stay the last half fulong.

Well done to AARONIZNEEZ. 21 pts out of a possible 29 is pretty amazing stuff. I think that may be the third year on the trot he’s won our Breeders Cup Competition. Fantastic stuff.

Aaronizneez – 21
Eclipse First – 20
Andrew03 – 19
Del Boy – 17
Nereftiti – 17
Hot Fuss – 16
Goodfellow – 16
Pat123 – 15
Triptych – 14
Textfitz – 13
CurlyCove – 13
Bob Rolf – 12
Nathan Hughes – 11

[Kenh]

Well done. Our very own Goldikova.

[nefertiti]

That was fun! Thanks, Cormac, a good idea. Hope you can do it again another time and more forum members get involved.

Many congratulations, aaronizneez! Very versatile – seems you can win no matter what the conditions. Next year will you be able to pull off what Goldikova couldn’t?

[aaronizneez]

Many thanks all

The change of format worked in my favour as I could only get the one winner all night. Good work Cormack
