Then there were 48 fine tipsters news

Then there were 48 fine tipsters

Perth Turf Talk | Metropolitan Racing | Mon 4 January, 2016

The bottom 32 of our top 64 finalists competed on Perth Cup day in two knockout races requiring a midfield or better finish to remain alive.

Only 3 tipsters failed to submit their tips and there were some bold showings in the consolation finals, none more so than the effort of spitz who bagged six winners and tracynorthofmass who has been consistent winning 3 races and placing in 4. 

Surprisingly the 4th placed runner would have won the second Consolation Final, alas that is the nature of the game and survival in the top 8 of each race was all that was required.

Next Saturday poses the first one-on-one knockout finals where those ranked 17-48 will take the stage for their shot at the top 16 the following week.

Good luck to those in the running.

I reckon that @Gary H and I had the "low scoring thriller". 4 placings to 3. $6.54 to $5.90. Sorry Gary, it was a slog was't it... Couldn't get on the scoreboard for the first 4 races!  (I know, the shorties were too short, or so I thought!).  ...
