Cheers, bb. A relief to get off the 'cold list'!

It may sound a strange thing to say about a horse who ultimately won by 7 lengths, but I'm not sure how many other jockeys would have won him. It sure did look hard work for SDS for much of the journey!

I`ve struggled today because i havn`t brought a winner to the table for a long time, so every horse i decide on i put myself off for one reason or another. Finally decided on: Court In Session 4:15
10 points win, currently 6.4 on here. Good luck whoever is left today.

Loads of great racing on today.  Like the look of Diamond Harry, but I also like Time For Rupert, so one to watch.  In the Racing Post the trainer is very keen on Air Force One, he's dropped 21lbs, and so gone for him e/w.

Good luck all

It's the Breeders Cup next weekend and you are welcome to select from that meeting on both the Friday and Saturday, industry SP will be used to settle.

I am also extending the cut-off for selections on next Saturday only to 8pm.

Gone for Sirius Prospect - 3.45 Doncaster

Keep a look out for Dream Alliance at Ffos Las tomorrow.  It's his first run for John Flint and has been dropped 15lbs with Thomas Flint taking a further 10lbs off.  It all depends if the change of scenery has done him good, but if it has then he must have a very good chance.  We'll have a good idea after the first couple of hurdles.

Good luck everyone today.

This aint rocket science but it looks like Spear Thistle could well be lined up for a win in the next couple weeks..
Report FCH November 6, 2011 10:00 AM GMT
I've put up Dream Alliance to win.  My thoughts are that he'll either not want to make an effort or if he does he should win off of his new mark.  John Flint is very happy with him and the change of scenery may have done the trick.  He is currently being quoted around 16/1.

Here's hoping the Pins carry on where we left off yesterday.

Rossbrin has just won to become the third horse to win from a Chepstow race run on 22 Oct - the winner then, Wyck Hill, has won again since as has the fourth that day That'lldoboy. The second, Present To You, is due to run on Saturday and the seventh, Bishophill Jack, is due again on Friday. I'll be keeping an eye on those races. The fifth and sixth that day have no current entries.

At least it means a guaranteed place for a Pin in round 2 but would have preferred playing someone from outwith our team. Maybe the draw could have been seeded to avoid such an occurrence?

Anyway, good luck Fundy.
