Leave the boss in charge for one week and the whole system starts to creak and groan.

With late scratchings and canceled meetings, only 16 of our tipsters had a runner go around last weekend and the results were okay but not brilliant.

Our tipsters selected four winners with Steven Reid leading the way with Art Form ($8:30) while others to select winners were Nathan Williamson, Brad Williamson and the boss John Curtin along with four placegetters so half the selections in the money is passable.

This week we have five meetings and we have selections for them all.
