Excellent effort HKF good points there [:D]

Poor decision by Capt not to go e.w. when horse drifts it hurts
sorry guys cost us a few points

Excellent place points today HKF.
Stewpot. A top 4 finish this month would give us the fourth. Qualification point needed.[;)]

Spot on Tingle a fourth place is our minimum target this week guys

more of the same will do nicely

Onward & just a little bit upward

Dessie hoping to take that opening bat off you Templesgate [smiley:crazy]

A wildcard (Dessies) is available for our cup game next week Tingle (if not before)

Unlucky to be caught on the line with Samuel Morse Dessie.[>o]
Stewpot . your wildcard latest update has been noted.

Thanks Tingle
Yes beaten a short head will not go down well with Dessie
a bit like getting his fish on the line & missing the keep net
keep fishing Dessie - suns shining

Hope its a Chile night north & south tonight

roznic 340 worcester,10 win
ew theives

Not this time around Templesgate never mind
Gone for Abraham Lincoln Epsom 7.25 e.w.
lets hope it doesnt get shot down tonight

Sorry guys it was a hanging not a shooting this time - disappointing
cant believe backed into 3-1 fav wouldnt have touched it

hope we have a few heroes out there ..... please save my blushes

Morning all.  I'll try Tony The Tap 220.  These fast finishing (hopefully!) sprinters
always lull me in.

Its better than being lulled in by a politician Billy, I never learn

He certanly has another race or two in him - best of luck [;)]

Unlucky Billy ran a lot lot better than final standings
but you dont me to tell you that, will probably win during our holiday period

Oratory 2.35 San e/w for me.
Thieves 'R'Us

Leicester 3.35 Jimmy The Poacher EW.

Thanks guys
only Oshun & HKF to come
we need a nice 4th place to go into summer recess happy

DONT FORGET

CUP Week next week guys

Hi Gents

Big Noise Leic 410 to win (hopefully)

Off to barbecue a cow before the football. Can't help thinking it should have been my England v Argentina showdown. Oh well 4 years time maybe. Frenzied South American excitement building here [:(]

Im here Stew.Will wait to see
how things pan out.I will be playing
in the 5.20 Liec

many thanks guys
Oshun at least you are all shouting for the same team

HKF you have the Captains armband feel free to change your mind as often as you like
well I do [;)]

best of luck guys

Orpen wide E/W 5.20 Lie
Hope the cheekpieces do the job

Sorry guys got dragged away yesterday
havent seen the racing
A big thank you to our major contributors JB54 & Tingle Creek
for keeping us on the scoreboard a shame we just missed that 4th spot

But heading for summer recess with a very kindly looking table
but dont look too closely I think the pack are all closing [;)]

Dessie is on hols so Tingle has his wildcard
best of luck guys

At least we reached the Semis and the managers job has been saved (for a few weeks)
but who knows the summer may well bring a few changes - talk of russian takeover bids
lets hope our chairman Mr Stena stays loyal to the cause

Thieves are up for the cup

Wild Card for Dessie.
2.15 N/Abbot Minneapolis (win)

That was unlucky Tingle you beat the odds on fav & get done by a 33-1 shot
a nice try [;)]

I wont be around much tomorrow lads best of luck to any players

Gone for Ediths Boy 3.20 Folk

Nice start HKF we are off the nervous noughties up & running
just got to keep the ball rolling now lads

Bunbury Cup. Palace Moon Each Way. Ran a blinder in the Wokingham, finishing strongly. Hopefully will improve some for the extra furlong and this doesn't look as competitive as usual.

Argentine post mortem still going on here. i got into trouble for chuckling when the 4th went in [:x]

Bon Chance Thieves...

Well Done HKF.[:)]
July Cup Fleeting Spirit (win) for me.
Oshun . I agree with you comments on the selection thread they should not have re-named the Bunbury Cup the Red 32 H/cap. back in 1780 i understand that Lord Bunbury and Lord Derby had a toss of the coin to determine the name of the first classic at Epsom ,i wonder who won that toss[;)]. they are messing with History. [>o]

Best of luck today lads
both deserve a reward for their consistency in the past [;)]

Unlucky Oshun one well handicapped horse there great effort
Hard lines Tingle good run looked a funny paced race to me
all to play for guys [;)]

Well Done with the place points Oshun.

So annoyed this week. I've had 3 bets this week all at Newmarket. Bagamoyo (12/1), Breakheart (20/1) & Palace Moon (8/1) all second. Classic each way thieving but frustrating none the less.

Good fortune remaining gentlemen thieves,,,

Oshun its always more encouraging for a striker to be hitting the post than row 24 
a sign of a hot summer ahead
HKF will be gutted I did not put up an old fav of his last night
even tempted to put up Tingle old boy in the first at York
very unlikely I will be around this afternoon disapearing at sometime
so can somebody please keep an eye on any late non runners
please [;)]

Nottingham 4.55 Talayeb win.

Wildcard - current position

Dessie
Templesgate
Stewpot
BillyOnions ***

Gone for Day Of The Eagle 2.30 York e.w.
in early race hope that helps guys

Bay Knight 240Fairy.  Down to 7 runners now so gone all in.

I'm here all afternoon for a nice change today so I'll keep an eye on things

Many thanks Billy, feel free to take the wildcard by 3.00  - good luck Guys
just hoping I can see mine before I hit the road or maybe better if i go now . . .

Top Drawer Billy
A masterwildcard Mr Cool at his best
always under control

the lads will lift you shoulder high when they catch you

great finish guys

BTW so nearly could have been SENSATIONAL if your other had gone in as well [:D][:D][:D]

It was bound to finish 2nd as I went on the nose.  To be fair the winner won easily. My hand
was forced with the Marjury as wanted to wait to see how that Sarasota ran first before diving in

Well done Guys.Good pick billy.
Germany and Each Way Thieves both win the 3d place ply off matches.

Well done guys - Please accept a big PAT on the back - Czheques in the post
enjoy your summer siesta
3rd in the Cup & top of the League lay back under that blue sky & dream on
singing things can only get wetter

You are all more than welcome back first full week in Sept - 5th St Leger week

in the meantime call back in anytime - if Stewy Nomates posts look a bit desperate at times its because they are
roughly disguised as carer needed full time, must have patience, form book knowledge, large bank balance    

will be in most sat ams & certain for Goodwood & York weeks
well I have them highlighted on the calender

see you soon guys

may well do a bit of travelling (hopefull) so see you at your local course
enjoy

Message from the GATE he is enjoying a summer break in Naples Florida :)[;)]

Good Evening thieves!

Congratulations on the 3rd place win in the Cup, not a high scoring affair but who cares the team scored more than the finalists!! Great win, and well done to the three scorers.

Stewpot you just know I won't be able to resist that little three darter See you all Saturday hopefully!!!

Thanks for that mosteel  our search party wouldnt have stretched to Florida
Im told it is very nice on that west coast strip
hope Dessie lent you his big rod 

Dessie nice to know you are already at the ockey rarin to go
I was going to call it 'Three in a Bed'
but thought it might attract the wrong sorts

"boring but Spain for WC for me"

Yes it was boring Cap'n but they won it

Maravilloso  it was Dessie ignoring all the stats & a quick thanks to the swiss
sorry to say gave some of it back today though
should have traded out in running too greedy

I take it they had been selectively watering at Beverley to even the draw out
is this info available in advance - anyone

Nothing boring about a winner Dessie. Plenty of 5/1 when you tipped it.

Probably not around much over the Summer but I'll have a go on a Saturday if I'm about. Well done Captain

LOL Oshun it was Stewpot who tipped them and thats what I'm trying to say........they won so who cares if it was a boring choice? Anyway you'd be well happy with a 5/1 winner of a 16 runner hcap so why not the world cup winners at the start of comp? Onwards and upwards for ENGLAND :D

Thanks Dessie - they should have a 'handicap' Football World Cup - depending on rankings
England onwards & upwards I really hope so only when they stop paying them stupid money
they think they must be the worlds  best if someone pays them that kind of money
wrong so wrong
'its on his wrong foot'
'tackling not part of his game'
'better in the air'
they shouldnt have any obvious weakness being paid millions
hope they dont say that about my brain surgeon not very good on the left side . . . ouch
what do you expect when he only gets two weeks of footballers salary

Hope you got on Bay Knight at Leopardstown last night Billy [;)] vindicated your selection of the horse last week very nicely indeed, at a decent enough price having gone so close.

I've got my 3 in a bed ready for action on Saturday Stewpot. Only trouble is all are at Evening meetings [smiley:crazy]

PS couldn't agree more re footballers. The game went mad several years ago and it will kill the game eventually. Cap 'em I say, and put the savings back in the fans pockets by slashing ticket prices.

Here here Dessie
No problems any time of day for your selections
maybe late or even Sun am before I willchecking them out
away at prsent back tonight but racing tomorrow

three selections plus a reserve if wanted
even allow upto the off time if all happy
hope I dont need too many rules
its only a bit of fun 
but suggestions always welcome guys
cheers for now

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnn 1    Gloucester 200MR
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnn 2    Keepitsecret 335MR
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnn 3    Tellion 450Curr

Look at what you could have won!

Dessie, Bay Knight, missed it [:x]

A Bully for you Billy
I am keeping those prize curtains closed until we have a winner

Rocha Des Vents Nby 3.20
Bella Swan Nkt 3.30
Brooklyn Spirit Nby 5.05

probably check out the scores tomorrow am

probably have to allow duplicates
limited no of poss selections
or drop the target to 16s we will see [;)]

Sorry guys, connection problems!!

My three are:
3.25 Rip Neveda desert
3.30 New Chausini
and bringing up the rear 8.50 Ling Pascalini

LOL just seen Billys already lifted the trophy with the first selection!!!!

33/1 and only beaten 19 lengths lol. Well Done Billy hope you were on!

Nearly a VERY rewarding return to Ripon for one of yours today Cap'n [;)]

A saunter in the Gloucester countryside for Billy  [;)]
that looked a stroll so we will try again next sat

yes Dessie a very close thing put me off the rest of the day
going to set up a hat stall at the races, my first run off the production line will be my "If Only" baseball line

I had them in an ew patent...........so didn't even get my BFH !

Bay Knight repeats the dose of that bad tasting medicine at 12/1 today.........lets hope billy got on today

Billy "The Power Onion" a man in serious form long may it last
Goodwood around the corner

Can't keep up with the racing at weekend with kids and stuff so missed it again .

You know I prefer Galway Stew[;)]

A couple of decent bets on those two runs would have paid for a weekend nanny for a year or two billy

(Unless of course you're not just talking about your own flock [smiley:crazy] ! )

Morning guys plenty of thirty threes about today
just got to pick the right one

hopefully might have a chance today you Galway guys will be too busy salivating over the Galway entries [:p][:p][:p]

back later

1.45 Newm Mabsam
2.30 York Magic Echo
4.05 Newc Stags Leap

Good Luck today!!

I will go for
A 1.30 Vuhjon
Y. 2.30 Christmas Light
Y. 3.40 Kaldoun Kingdom

hope 20s hold out
good luck

just noticed Vuhjon n/r
A 3.50 Advanced

Went to Newcastle races yesterday, 25nicker
entry for ladies day sold out.Far to many
people.30mins queue for a beer, 15to20 queue
at every bookies stand,not get near parade
ring .Forty of us on our bus all wanted to
leave after 3 races.Not one of us would go back

Yes but what about the atmosphere HKF
I can see things getting out of hand somewhere shortly
NO joy in going 'saturday' racing in the summer any more
esp during footie close season

Not much atmosphere.lots of
eye candy.but after a while that
wears off.I wont talk about toilet
facilities.All in all a total
rip off

I knew you 'irish' lads would get distracted [;)]

Plenty of candy in Redcar today HKF thats if the Redcar rock shop on the sea front is still open

Some interesting Championship footie stats
3 of the last 4, 8 out of last 10, antepots favs have gone on to win
9 of the last 10 have gained promotion
its like taking candy from a baby
[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

Just thought if they were updating the software better get back  . . . . ttt
dont want to get the chop . . lol

ttt

not long to go now [:D]

Signing in ready for September action Captain. Hopefully everyone else will pop in and do the same over next few days!!!

Are you out there looking in Thieves?

Nice to know all that riverbank time has been getting put to good use Dessie
as you watched the fish swim by [:p]
hope all this FFFootball has not distracted me too much
relieved I dont have to rely on either to get by
just polishing the begging bowl
All these N/Rs are disrupting things, do I file my Sariska placepot under swings & roundabouts

Newcastle friday would have made nice 'New' point for the restart
followed by Ripon monday, bank manager appointment tuesday or wednesday  - all sorted Dessie

Just a reminder for JB54, Oshun & Templesgate restart date 5th Sept guys
apprecite a sign in to show you are up & running on that treadmill ready for action

JB54 is ready for action ( roll on the jumps)

Hi jb54, welcome back.......i'm going into hibernation when flat finishes lol

Thanks JB maybe I should revert back to the Jumps
may have more time in the autumn cant have any less than the summer . . . [;)]

Only two of our young bucks to sign in now
still getting the sand out of their shorts [;)]

I am here Stew,glad there was a break
cos i would not have scored many points.
Someone once told me if you beat the
starting price you will show a profit.
The amount of times my selections have
been well backed {14s- 7/2} being one of the
biggest and ran stinkers is uncanny
See you on the 5th

Nice to know I am not alone HKF been a tough summer
but havent put much effort in which probably explains the results
hope that old Osteopathic Remedy got you back on track [;)]

Oshun is still out treading grapes I suspect
people think he wears deep red socks for luck
its actually the colour of his feet
put that glass down Oshun & type in [;)]

Templesgate has another deadline to meet but sure that 'under orders' will awake him

templeslate usually lives up to his name but he always gets here lol.......

In

Actually expected more of an In [smiley:crazy]
many thanks Oshun
I can relax now

I have that warm feeling already.does anyone else get it or am I uniquely wet

cant afford to put my heating on yet Dessie
is it an autumn glow I normally only get it when Im in hot water
which is getting to be too often [:(]

Given that Awzaan was going to win 2000 gns RHills at Kempton ?
