First things first.
We need to be clear about the rules which tend to change a bit each year. You can select in any GB or Ireland race on Sat BUT the selection has to be on ud`s thread by 4.00PM. There is an exception for this week ONLY as it is The Breeders Cup. Selections can be made in that and for this week the cut-off time is 8.00PM. I assume the one hour rule still applies.
I think everybody has been very good about posting their selections on this thread recently. Thank you and please keep it up. It does save me a lot of time on Sat afternoon when I do quiote a bit of trading so my time is limited.
We are not doing as well as I would like recently. We still have an outside chance though as there is an 8pt bonus for the team with the highest profit over the year. We were always going to have to pick up that anyway. If we can keep in touch over the next 3 weeks then we go for it in the last round. So play normally for now.
Finally barny has gone missing. Hopefully he is OK and I seem to remember him having long-term internet problems before. Tbh I am reluctant to recruit again this year so if he doesn`t show up we will use wildcards. The wildcard will automatically go the team member with the highest profit the week before. Amazingly that is me this week. I will use it on Sat if no sign of barny.
Come on HUMBUGS !

Can somebody take over the captaincy for the next two weeks at least please. I have had a horrible loss and may close my account. I am going to think about it for a while.
sorry to hear that salmon, i'm not around enough so hopefully someone else can pick it up. hope you've not laid a biggy in america, read you so many times saying you shouldnt be playing there.
just read the poop deck thread, ffs salmon cant believe you would lay something at that price.
Oh I do. Think that`s the longest I`ve lost at though. Managed to lay Drosslmeyer as well. Not as bad but hardly a confidence booster.
Salmon, cuople of months ago I laid a 180-1 winner
got it all back with in 10 days
As you know I lay the longshots like yourself
Its the ONLY way I can make a profit on here
last week I laid a second at 750-1
Irish prices can be 33-1 SP
Yet over 500-1 on here
but the form says 500-1 is the correct price
All the best to you what ever you decide to do

Sorry chaps. I spat the dummy out last night. My worst ever loser. But actually I had been on a very good run for about a month so I am just back to where I was 2 weeks ago
So it`s business as usual unless you feel you can do without an over-volatile captain.

I`m afraid you`re jinxed Deep I as I went to the selections thread to put that up and realised just in time you had already done it.
I`ll be less adventurous and go for Restless Harry in the 4.10 instead. Give us a wave.

Well twm got us off the mark with some place pts
But frankly we need a miracle now and I am the last person for that kind of pick
Gone for Fix The Rib 3.20 Ascot e/w. If it`s fully fit would have a chance. Big if though.
No sign of barny again this week. In view of the ever earlier time of races if he hasn`t posted by 1.00 PM anybody please feel free to put up a wildcard for him without asking me.

mines is Palais Glide 5.50 Wolverhampton, its around the 7/1 mark, do you want it win or e/w?
If it`s less than 10-1 go win only I think. As I said we need a miracle to win this year so we might as well have a go today.
We`ll play for 2nd or 3rd if nothing is any good tomorrow

If barny doesn``t post by 1.00PM and if you are around put the Haydock one up. If you`re not going to be let me know and I`ll put it up if necessary and give you the credit.

depending on the better half may well be out. really not bothered about who gets the credit so stick it up if you want.
just think it has got a great chance at the weights with the apprentice taking off the 10lbs. effectively races off 132.
nearly beat Great Endeavour off 134 at Cheltenham 2010. last seen third off 139 in irish national. jockey 6 rides under rules, a winner and two seconds.
keep typing and i'll be convinced its past the post.

I`ve done Muirhead e/w in The Hennessy. Don`t think it`s a great renewal and he has more pace/class than most of them.
ARRRRGH I see im too late as SS has already taken my big price selection in the Hennessey, i will have to go on and change it
Previous selection (Muirhead 3.10)already taken by a team member so i will change to the selection below
