Derby Day proved to be moving day this year, and a huge battle ensued between the two Chriso’s (Wright and McInerney – apologies to Austin). Meanwhile at the bottom, Shoggers jumped away from the dreaded wooden spoon, leaving Saff, Rish (past champion) and Tomo (whykickamoocow) in perilous danger.
But before we get to the full results, the poll on betting agencies threw up some interesting results. Sportsbet clearly #1 used – most likely due to the Bet With Mates feature and consistent bonus back promos. TAB #2 slightly surprising, but is the best app to use when watching live races. Betr has well and truly arrived at #3, but will be interesting to see how long they last. I found it funny that Bet365 only had one regular user, because (I assume) everyone else is banned from using their site. Also, the annual ladies day poll will be out for the Oaks!! So make sure you do your form.
But back to the battle of the Chriso’s. It was Chris Wright who came out on top banking an impressive $2150 with wins on High Emocean ($2.40 Bendigo Cup), Manzoice ($19.90 Victoria Derby) and Private Eye ($5.20 Nature Strip Stakes). Chris McInerney was second on $1930 with wins on High Emocean, In Secret ($3.00 Coolmore Stud Stakes), Icebath ($10 Empire Rose) and I Wish I Win ($9.90 Golden Eagle). Shoggers took third on $1690 with wins on In Secret and Manzoice.
Onto the overall leaderboard – Ovs still holds the lead on $3155, and would be praying that the favourites keep winning. Chris Mc is now up to second on $2391, whilst Damo is narrowly holding third on $2065 from Nato in 4th on $2044.50. There are eight tipsters sitting above $1000 and would all still be dreaming of a comeback victory. For the rest of us, there are still 10 races to find some diamonds in the rough.
Here’s everyone in the positive:

The Captain Consistency award has really heated up with five tipsters all tied on 6 points: Chris Mc, Dogbet, Nato, Sim Shaw and Simmy49. With 2 rounds to go you’d think the winner would come from this group. However, there are another eight tipsters 1 point behind on 5 points nipping at their heels if they manage to blow it.
The Cup Week Hero award has also kicked off with Chriso taking the early lead from Shoggers and Chris Mc. Note that the Bendigo Cup was not included in this comp as it was last Wednesday. But all further races do count. Check out the page to check where you stand.
The winner of the Country Cup King will conclude this Wednesday with the Kyneton Cup (run at Bendigo take note). Buzz is currently leading on $1300 from Turtle on $1085 and Benny Leal on $1012. The field is unfortunately small.
