GROUPIES RESULTS - Autumn 2021 round 4 
Australian Guineas / Chipping Norton Stakes / Surround Stakes

Well you couldn’t say that racing is boring and predictable considering the results of the three Group 1 races this week.

Understandably nobody tipped 300/1 (fixed price) shot Lunar Fox to win the Australian Guineas, but the Chipping Norton Stakes reassuringly delivered a gritty win by Groupies favourite Verry Elleegant and another exciting contest between two Queens of the Turf.

A rare occurrence for the Groupies, nobody tipped any of the place getters in the Surround Stakes

So scores were pretty low this round, Sydeston being the top scorer with 12.9 points courtesy of his tips for Cherry Tortoni and Verry Elleegant.

RJ1 scored enough points to jump to the top of the Autumn Leaderboard with De Lago Dude and Pigracer in hot pursuit in second and third spots.

Welcome back to Linojan and Ramses – glad to have you back in the Groupies Competition.

As far as the Yearly Leaderboard is concerned, not much has changed with Loges2 and The Mighty Quinn still occupying the top spots.

GROUPIES RESULTS – Autumn 2021 Round 3 -  Blue Diamond Day
Futurity Stakes / Blue Diamond Stakes /  Oakleigh Plate

It was day of first class racing at Caulfield with top mares Probabeel and Arcadia Queen running the quinella in the Futurity Stakes, the long odds Artorius stealing the Blue Diamond Stakes from the more fancied runners, and a dead heat between Portland Sky and Celebrity Queen in the Oakleigh Plate.

Ruffies king, Todman got lucky in the Blue Diamond, the sole Groupie to tip Artorius, thus scoring top points of 23.5 for the round.

Oldman was next best scorer netting two winners in Probabeel and Celebrity Queen.

Todman is now at the top of the Autumn Leaderboard with a one point advantage over RJ1 who is hot on his heels in second place.

GROUPIES RESULTS – Autumn 2021 Round 2 -  Black Caviar Lightning

Nature Strip, despite being disappointing on several occasions when he has been hot favourite, demonstrated that he was back to his best in this year’s edition of the Black Caviar Lightning, a splendid ride by Jamie Kah guiding him to victory.

He was the Groupies Top Tip, so eight players scored the top points of 11.1 this round.

Richard III has assumed a good lead on the Autumn Leaderboard, having successfully tipped the winners of the two races so far run – the only Groupie to do so.

Loges 2 has snatched back first place on the Yearly Board courtesy of his tip for Nature Strip, his nearest rival The Mighty Quinn failing to score this week.

GROUPIES RESULTS - Autumn 2021 round 1 - Orr Stakes

Welcome back to all the trusty regulars and welcome to new player RJ1 whose debut tip for Streets of Avalon was a winner.

A major disappointment of the race was of course Sir Dragonet, the Groupies Top Tip, though the collective Groupies tipped the trifecta.

RJ1 shares top score with Pigracer and Richard III. Congratulations to you all.

It’s too early to speculate on the Autumn Leaderboard, but The Mighty Quinn has assumed the lead on the Yearly Board with Spring Groupies Champ, Loges 2, failing to score this week.

1. Streets of Avalon = 15.5
2. Imaging = 3.8

Place your tips and Good Luck to all.

Rules

New players are welcome and the rules of play are simple with the competitor placing one tip for their preferred runner and nominating a substitute (optional), which will only be counted if your first selection is scratched and the substitute runs a place.

Scoring is as follows (TAB Dividends)

1st – win dividend plus place dividend plus 5 points

2^nd – place dividend plus 2 points

3^rd – place dividend plus 1 point

Tips must be lodged by race start time.

There are 43 Group One races this autumn starting with the Orr Stakes on 6 February 2021 and finishing with the Tatts Tiara on 19 June 2021.

The autumn Groupies will be scored separately from the cumulative thread (spring/autumn), so players can vie for Groupie Champion of the autumn and overall champion tipster for the 2020/21 racing year.

Points scored during Spring 2020 will count towards the Groupies Season Championship.
