Louise & Rob neck & neck for Trophy
It was a very pleasant evening at the Presidential Gaming Palace – now with integrated loo facility! The main event was Gallop, one of El Prez‘s more popular creations. The Tote Clerk hat went to El Trez who discovered no betting irregularities during proceedings, and topped it off with a Personal Best for this game – he owned the winning horse in the final race and also bet heavily on himself, so cleaned up with a staggering $8000+. This meant he made the 100 points he needed to catch Louise the ladder leader, plus a 2nd place in Pass The Bomb to cement the new lead, however, Louise had other ideas and by scoring a double third place she maintained her lead, but by the narrowest of margins – only 10 points. Tara , despite getting 2nd in Gallop, is 275 points away in 3rd place, so with only two meetings left it looks like Louise & Rob might be battling it out for the championship trophy. Our rookie recruit Jiordan was exposed to two new games and picked them up pretty quickly – but was blasted severely in Pass The Bomb in which there was a 3-way bomb-off for the placings between Genelle, Louise & Rob. Nicole, Wayne and Jiordan all WHP.
Stapleton’s, our usual restaurant for year-end festivities, has closed, so we are on the lookout for suggestions for an alternative venue. Let’s have your ideas.
