Hi All,

I've been a bit "slack" in getting this thread updated for 2010-2011 season. Here are the results so far (SuperTAB Dividends used)

Underwood Stakes 1800m (11) - So You Think (2) - $1.80
Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes 1400m (17) - Response (5) - $5.00
Manikato Stakes 1200m (8) - Hay List (1) - $1.40
Turnbull Stakes 2000m (16) - Zipping (6) - $19.80

You will note that after the winning horse's name I have also included the barrier draw. So far drawing well seems important.
