E.W. Thieves .... Autumn Gold Rush

Morning Thieves, sorry I didn't hit the bullseye [:(] Taking on Mark Johnstone over in Ireland, especially with Murtagh booked, was perhaps not the best play!!!

Good Luck todays shooters

Thieves'r'us

Good stuff Thieves

Am I picking two today?

Yes Oshun its yours +  wildcard for JB
hope thats OK [;)]

Ling 230 Spirit Of sharjah EW. Goes well at Lingfield and I thought ran well last time. Wildcard to follow shortly as I won't be around later.

Ling 305 Summit Surge 10pts Win. Should be well up to this (in theory!)

Thanks Oshun lots to look forward to
I have gone for Laser Ruby Ling 12.50 e.w. despite that draw 12
hope you all have a good day especially Haydock party goers [:p]
must be better than the wet east coast

Tingle can you catch the Captains arm band
I think we have left you with a few NH races [;)]

I wiil be about all day Stewpot,no problem.

Nice points Dessie. Good luck
today lads

Well Done Stewpot, more good points

Well done Stewpot

Coupled with the Barons loser, very good race for us! Well Done Cap'n With a better draw and run you'd have to think would have given winner a fright

Despite an awkward head carrige he flew home grab us those those vital place points ,superb start stewpot Well done great Stuff.

Nice to contribute in some small way - at last

Thanks Tingle
change here looks as though I will be now as well

good luck lads

Inorder to cement our current position i have gone with a defensive e/w selection. Karabak 2.35 Ascot.

Really Tingle [;)]

I missed off my question mark I think you are spot on to do so that 2nd bonus point is not that far away [;)]

Not many solid ews today so lets keep Carry On Creeping
Dessie I would have had to suffer the wrath of HKF if we had been second to Loyal Royal . . lol
a definite Oh No moment
after that run in the first he maybe changing to HKHarry soon

woaaaaa just got back in after popping out! Magnificent stuff Oshun and place too from Tingle!!! Brilliant

& What a Carry On
cant keep Oshun out of the limelight the star shines on & on
Tingle you must have been worried you were going to misss out but should have known better
top marks guys

We must surely be in touching distance of the 3rd bonus point Stewpot?

Brilliant stuff Oshun Well Done .

Bl oody poor Fallon attempt cost us that 3rd bonus. Shocker.

But well done team that puts a whole new complexion on final week

Hope that KF effort does not leave any nasty taste Dessie or make the difference
tremendous final day to a terrific week guys
we will be singing from a different hymn sheet tomorrow

The all important yearly title, here is how things stand at the moment but of-course a whole week of winners to go!

I think the decider will be the 8pts bonus going to the team with best yearly profit and Each Way Thieves shade that by 73.59pts from the Barons at the moment.

update on crucial Wilcard nominations

Wildcard sequence
JB54
Templesgate
Tingle Creek
Billy Onions
Dessie
Stewpot
Oshun Fynance
HKF


Please NOTE guys with Templesgate & JB away
we will probably require two Wilcards this week

Tingle & Billy please note [;)]

As tremendous week for the Team with SEVEN scores on the boards
EVERYBODY scored
but a special mention in despatches to our wildcarders Oshuns Ten & HKFs Wayfor their wise winners 

Total Team Sels Indiv Scores
  182.00  Each Way Thieves   8 72.50 49.00 15.00 13.75 12.50 11.25 08.00

   00.00  Northern Punts   7   

Although we are in better position than expected it is a game of two halves
we need a really solid week to lift that 70pts to a more difficult one to beat
a 150 total  would present a bit of a challenge
so I think this weeks target of 80 appears a reasonable ask
a repeat of last weeks solid focus could well be sufficient
btw Newbies not out of this, one cracking winner could swing things
keep checking guys

Be Lucky Thieves
[;)]

I thought I knew what a BLT was
but maybe that last line brings in a NEW definition

I hope that Fallon ride yesterday doesn't bite us on the bum! - I agree that we need to make the Barons score 150 and if they do then fair play to them. There will be some attempts at big winners this week and that is out of our control.

I'll be looking for opportunities to land a short ew. Not keen on having to rely just on Saturday. I was looking at Malindi Bay at Towcester. If it won at 10/11 with 5pts EW that would be 15 odd points on the board. Couldn't bring myself to do it though! - It feels wrong

Good Luck Thieves...

Oshun I always thought you were spicy. But not scary spice

There are Team members who would support the approach Oshun
but there is no money at stake just Glory
if it were our last or second last selection we may be taking a view on it

I realise Im talking to the guy who picked the hardest handicap of the week in my book for his nap, what do I know

You're right really. Just got to keep doing what we do. That's how we've put ourselves where we are

Well done Dessie nice solid effort
ups that total to another level
Task complete you can go and recruit a few cheer leaders for the rest of us

Job done Dessie. Kick back and relax

Excellent place points Dessie. Well done.

Stewpot.note taken regarding the wild card,I assume it can be used anytime during the week as its a planned wild card.[:p]

Yes Tingle & Billy, you can use the wildcard at anytime [:p]

btw if anybody sees any naked seminaked men chained to a lampost in the Haydock / Manchester area please cut them free

Dessie your task for the rest of the week find that lampost
you had better wear your it may not be a pretty sight

after Dessies points our lead is £85
we just need to edge that up a little
from achievable to challenging, to daunting, to impossible

Baron Santini has decide to take this comp seriously and take away our little bit of glory

He's always been one for a challenge that one Makes for a good finish and no one can relax thinking its over!!!

Well that puts a slightly different complexion on things. On the positive side they only have four bullets left! - Surely the Champions League is really what we're after anyway

Well that 2nd winner today makes it tough but remember its the bonus 8 points we need to focus on........as things stand two 7/1 each way winners or two 9/2 winners, three 3/1 winners on the nose get us back up there. We've got the players who can do it One 16/1 EW winner would also do

Thieves'r'us!!!!

Very good summary Dessie
"The Barons now have a 100.41pts lead over EW Thieves for the yearly bonus & with it the 2010 title!"

looking at it Guys I think we NEED WINNERS
therefore unsure we should be in going e.w. under 20-1 at this point ??? - any views ???
short term target 100pts but be realistic our target must be 130/150
WHEN our first one goes in we need to capitalise on it

we can re-assess once that winner goes in
We need Minimum 20pts return per bet

8-1 winner 80pts v ew 60pts (place 15) 

1.50 Weth. Riguel Dancer
Thieves 'R'Us

I think we should take stock after Tingles selection runs Cap'n.

Magnificent response Tingle Just what the doctor ordered [;)]

"The Barons now have a 50.41pts lead over EW Thieves for the yearly bonus but they have used 4 bullets the Thieves only two"

That looks a lot healthier well done Tingle!!!

Dunno about you captain but I'm not liking the outlook for weekend racing.......

Awesome Tingle

Is potentially looking iffy weather wise for the weekend. I fancy one in the very last qualifying race on Saturday if it goes. Desperate not to leave it that long though!

Thats what I call stepping up to the plate Tingle done with STYLE
when the pressures on I can rely on you guys
makes it very interesting

Can only suggest If less than 5-1 Win only

tomorrow 2.30 we will know a little more
IF we can wait

yes weather a big concern !!!

Oshun currently I would be happy for you to hang onto that AW selection
unless something stronger appears earlier
I believe it will surely only be the NH meetings at risk

Tingles given us a great chance lads

Come on you E.w.Thieves

Great stuff Tingle
Makes it very interesting

Not sure I can cope with the stress of it all
Maybe I'm reading too much into the 5.40 at Wolver but Gask team have Sutton Veny to front run, alongside a couple of others, to set it up for this b###er of a horse who's cost me this season, but tonight will hopefully be back in the good books, One Way Or Another.

Hard lines Billy,looked like
they have something else in
mind for that one

Onwards Thieves. I'm tempted by an old friend tomorrow but I'm not sure I still have faith. Otherwise I have one ready for Saturday. I've had to change my original thinking as it wasn't declared!

Good luck any players

Hi guys back at base
hard lines Billy your loyalty went unrewarded, at least showed a bit more zest today
Five to go against their 3
60pts required
Your saturday one will be better than mine Oshun
feel free to mail me stewpotsem at h o t mail co uk
a few of tomorrows cards to look at so time to play around

Unlucky yesterday billy, HKF spot on.

Onwards and upwards!!

A few options for me tomorrow
best of luck for any players today

Hoping Triple Dream can bounce
back to form E/W 1.25 Ling

Cracking effort from a 20-1 shot HKF those couple of strides & 25 pts could have set us up nicely
Brave try [;)]

Big BIg BIG day for us today guys
lest hope it all goes ahead
been a Great Season so far
one day CANT spoil that
BLT

Kem 315 Beauchamp Viceroy. Under normal circumstances I would say this is solid each way material. In my heart of hearts I'm not 100% convinced he is the best horse in this race but he has good course form and I hope that will see him through today.

Bon Chance Thieves...

A big day indeed Captain! The odds are stacked against us, but thats when the Thieves are at their best.

Thieves'r'us!!!

Hoping for a Butler double as I've gone for Akhmatova 2.10 ...... I can't bear to watch [:(]

Best of luck today fellas
im sure you can do it

Will be a great day lads just for the suspense alone
Barons a professional outfit but we are in with a great chance
There will be plenty of cheering regardless of outcome

Gone for Holiday Snap Kempton 5.20
gone for a win cant wait until ours run as somebody already gone for it guys

Only Tingle to post hope he remembers [;)]

Carruthers in the Hennessy e/w.
Thieves 'R'Us

GETINTHERE YOU BEAUTY!!!!! Brilliant stuff billy boy and a drifter for thieves at last!!!!!

Get in Onions

Arise Sir Billy. Great Stuff.[:p][:p][:p][:D]

Billy you have put a smile on a lot of faces - cant you just feel it

Fantastic Billy, come on
lads you one last push

I was going for Regal Approach originally so when that went in I feared the worst!
The bad news is Tingle I need yours for my treble, and how many times do you get one of them up!

Great call, billy onions. Interesting final day in the offing...

To make it worse .I have napped
Tingles in tipping comp

Doubting thomases lol

PS Has Butler EVER had a double?

If not theres always a first time

A gallant attempt, mistakes probably told in the end.

Unlucky Oshun, a mighty good effort.

Have we all got our heart monitors on Thieves?

Two great efforts there lads
I suppose the Barons could have made it easier
lets make this Barons good thing odds on
I always liked William B

Its a Head to Head guys

Zebrano must win for the Barons for them to Win the comp
The Barons have jocked off poor Jamie & put on Kieron
Thats how SERIOUS they are taking it

The Decider. Attheraces are anticipating record viewing figures for the 5.20

[:(]

What a finish to a season. Thieves v Barons would fill Wembley

Amazing Scenes. Well Done to The Barons.

Never had a chance lads - what sort of a ride was that
I/we were  stitched up
sorry guys poorest run of the day

The Barons cert cantered in Credit to them

I knew it. I just knew it!

Well played fellow Thieves. A fantastic effort all round

That was a great effort lads
Congrats to the Barons
A great comp

That was a great effort lads
Congrats to the Barons
A great comp

A massive fight, which came down to the victors picking up the title with their last bullet. The Bazzers pulled out a fantastic week when they needed it. Onwards and upwards to Cup Glory Thieves!!!!
