~~~~~~~~ 2015 E.W.Thieves Late Steals ~~~~~~~~

Tingles now in, just Ricky to come an yourself Cap'n. Ricky woul appreciate the nod that you are around so we can relax lol. Stewpot is leaving his as late as poss.

Hi guys sorry got visitors
winding the clock up at midday doesnt have the same impact

Thanks CAS & Tingle

another winner for Pins

I thought 130-160 was the target
being hopeful it was in the lower region

Ricky
if you are out there please say "Hi"

dont mind you posting late
put HKF on - wildcad alert mode

HKF bet you have never been a "Wildcad"  ..... lol

Another 15 pts to make up but still a 3/1 winner would make up the deficit....expect theres more shorties to come though

HKF are you out there and will you be picking up the Wildcard

Rickys in, we can relax now Just you to produce the final twist Stewpot!!!

Thanks Ricky
my wilcard was going to be Ballyvogue no after tiimng here

Quite interesting tactic 
thinking of going double handed in 1 race
an attempt to get those 60 pts

Support
Giftorm with Filfil
or
Mccabe Creek with  Coup De Grace or Civil War

or go with a big priced ew

Sorry Chaps. That wasn't great!

Nothing wrong with going with two Stew

Dynamo Malt ew
or
Filfil win

Brave effort guys

Werbie certainly put us in with a chance assisted by HKF 
but it wasnt to be
beaten by a very good team who have performed well every week of the season

You put up a great fight to be were we are all season guys

One more round to clinch that second spot,
and get your just rewards given the scoring
a place to be proud of 

best of luck

hopefully your Captain wont be too defensive this time around

Nice to see Motseel exploiting his local knowledge and getting our heads in front from the off

lets keep that pace going guys

Nice start motseel

Rumour has it Motseel has a Lucky Fifteen running

Nomadic Storm 10/11 Winner
De Kerry Man 1/2 Winner
No Buts 33/1
Giant Bolster 33/1

his selection next week maybe interesting

Interesting you mentioned no buts stewpot ? any reason ?

No ifs or buts 2 reasons really
After Sound Investment went in again, I thought No Buts had trounced him at Newbury
and may well be underestimated even though up in the weighs, improving 7yo ideal
off but may just have been saved for Chelts (or inj following fall)
actually fancied for Kim Muir but must have been withdrawn recently
have doubts about him getting in the Stable Plate now with his low rating
Second reason it was going to be a Bridgey L15

Sail Home E/W 5.45 Kem

Goo points HKF

Sorry my letter after "c" aint working lol.

Well done HKF . . . . . . 2 out of 2 hope its contagious
been away again so probably be Sat for me
try to break my 'Franz Klammer' habit

Hope you get that keyboar working soon essie

if you are wanting to nap
Rock A oole oo in the 3.40 let me know

I think it is contagious as well

LOL yes Stewpot fixed up now .

Well done scorers

I'm on Your Gifted 545 Wolves

Cheers Thieves...

A great triumph from Dessie
you obviously thought that Weld winner was too short
Captain Joy put in his place again

4 up with 4 to play
and ton up already - well played guys

Ricky
Tingle
Stewpot
Werbie

Nice one Dessie. Good points hkf,& motty. Looks tough tomorrow guys

Excellent points Guys.

Morning thieves, good luck to todays shooters

Great selection  essie
Good luck for today fellas

Anarchiste  5.45 wolver should come on a lot from a very promising intro. Forgot to put Ruban up in the week - sums up my first season with the Thieves -promise to do better next comp Good luck today guys

That should be ( Has improved for the step up in trip )

Thanks lads posting a bit later

Well done Tingle keeping that total ticking over

Gone for Steelriver 4.00 ew
he is drawn wide hope they go fast enough for him to get in
and Mr Moore lets young Jacob out in the straight pls
Invincible Ridge so nearly sucked me in but out of the handicap is a tough ask
hence the 25-1

Ricky is in with Arctic Lynx 3.25
so all accounted for

well done with the place points tingle

Apologies guys what else can I say, betting did not paint a pretty picture
thought yours could have had a better ride Ricky
come on Werbie lets finish with a smile

Well Done Werbie.

Morning Thieves, well done Werbie with that late bullet!

What a comeback guys
We started off on the right foot and finished on the right note and the middle was right on the button
The only thing left
was the opposition who were way behind
This weeks scorers too many to mention
Motseel, HKF, Dessie, Tingle, Werbie all making up an impressive half time score
but the jobs not over guys
and if my old grey matter is working Chelts always proves to be a difficult week
lets prove history wrong 
a bit of re-righting required

Total    Team    Sels    Indiv Scores
  134.00     Each Way Thieves      8    70.00    25.00    15.00    15.00    09.00    00.00    00.00    00.00

So for your successful selections this week 
just do the RIGHT THING at the RIGHT TIME at the RIGHT COURSE for the RIGHT REASON.

Have an enjoyable Cheltenham guys

Cheers guys! Here we go, the final push! This Hellbender has to take some beating tomorrow at southwell looks different gravy to all but Pickalittle on a good day - Had his prep runs on other tracks now back to his fav hunting ground is very usefull in this grade and should be able win a couple of races off a very lowly mark in the next few weeks!

Good luck there Werbie
suspect one or two of the better bets may well be away from Chelts
the opposition certainly wont be as strong
and there will be a lot fewer 6 month plots lying in wait

Think you are spot on there stew - cheltenham for me great to watch but from a betting point of view always looking for a fair horse in a poor race

Crawfords in the last at Sedge is interesting
over to get him his Chelts stake money   

Well that was piss poor, sorry chaps

Southfield Theatre 2.05 Cheltenham
10pts win
EW THIEVES
On the nose
got 26 on this last year so hoping for a nice comfortable run round.

Good luck tomorrow motseel
Hard lines today lads

Very unlucky there Motseel you chose the wrong Nichols horse, the one that made the mistake that cost it the race!!

Certainly unfortunate there Motseel to come up against that cracker
and the three winners certainly rubbed salt in

May just take on the Irish tomorrow
haave a look at bbthe next few days accs first

Mistake certainly cost it,ah well

Dont forget the 4.00 tomorrow Stewpot it was either ST today or this one.

Having problems with laptop.Bombarded with
adverts on ATR and Betfair since last night. Struggling to
get on the forum If I don't post by 12 on Saturday
someone use wildcard  Good luck

Ok HKF will help out if needed

Spoilt for choice today
So I think will go for the biggest price one
That should please Motseel
Ptzig . Ma Filleil Un Ace No Buts,

Avoided the losers gone for 20/1 No Buts 4.00 we
Best of luck lads

Well that was a bit of a let down, I dont know about you guys but in big fields on fast ground
you can sense when they walk round at the start for 'the walk in'
I dont want my horse to be where you are

Best of luck guys

Ricky you may be on wildcard duty on Saturday
feel free to post a reserve on this topic Ricky and we will apply it if needed

I will be around Fri/Sat

Well done Dessie in Chelts comp
you nearly surged into a clear lead
I forgot to post

Sorry Stewpot I'm literally just home from hospital been there all day with my mother who had a fall early this morning.  didnt get to post final day for either comp :( but don't think i'd have troubled the judge today.

Sorry to here that Dessie, hope she is on the mend

Mine had difficulty troubling the starter

LOL Ill have to watch it all later but some amazing results on paper!!

Thanks for the help with the pc Dessie
Looks like it has worked
Hope your mothers ok

Thanks Dessie

Hope your Mum is ok.

I was going to go for Rafaaf 6.15 Wol
Got some 14s last night.Into 4/1 now
Il go with
Spiritual Star 4.15 Ling E/W

Didn't realise Hugh Taylor picked it
Half the price

Thanks HKF
only CASanMartin to come he will be posting a little later so no worries

be nice to win the final round but plenty of opposition to run yet

that Hugh Taylor keeps spoiling the markets HKF wish he would keep his winners to himself

best of luck guys

I've gone for Dungannon at Lingfield. Changed my several times from that, Bertie Boru and Foxtrot Romeo and back again.

Hope your mum is OK Dessie

Good Fortune Thieves...

Morning thieves, good luck to HKF and Oshun today. Thanks guys for the good wishes

Thanks lads
we can have an easy afternoon sit back and enjoy an afternoons racing
dont fancy much at all which makes it an easy day   

A couple of good runs will go down well
best of luck guys

Good Luck today Guys.
I hope your Mother has a speedy recovery Dessie.

Well its a good job we didnt need those 10 pts to hang on HKF
it would have been one of our unluckiest losers not to get points on the board

Im breathing a sigh of relief with
Salmon Win Goonyellow
&  TWM Win Lunar Deity
things may have been quite interesting

Another splendid year for the Thieves

Well done Lads we didnt quite pull it off but not for lack of effort
Some great timely winners along the way kept the Pins sharp
They had some storming weeks and we just couldnt reel them in
Many thanks to our newcomers Ricky, Werbie & Motseel  and old boy Petemac
your contributions were much appreciated
Its a difficult comp over 7 months requires a deal of committment
and I know personal circumstances can vary greatly over that time
to say we only used 2 wildcards in all that time shows real dedication

Its been a pleasure to have you all on board
enjoy your future punting guys

I will probably drop into the topic as usual feel free to use it whenever you wish
off for a holiday next week away for a while to see my far away family

Morning thieves, well done everybody, an excellent effort to finish second to an excellent team. Well done to you too Cap'n keeping heads up while the chase was on. Have a great holiday Stewpot

Nice to be back lads
I see they have started the flat without me, more catching up
and a little matter of Aintree 

Anyone got the National winner sorted

Shutthefrontdoor for me Stewpot.

Mo my current 1-2-3 would be

Many Clouds 33/1
Cause Of Causes 20/1
Rocky Creek 10/1

even though my photo shows Unioniste colours
will it rain much on friday / sat ??

I see Petemac has left the building for a break
but you can drop in anytime mate, coffee is always brewing but NO biscuits

Hi Stew
yes taking a 6 months break from the leagues.(sick of the sight of Salmon)
How did your family visit to Tailand go. My son and his wife are going there for a 2 week holiday on Thursday.
I Will give you the first 4 home in the Grand National by Friday so far I have managed to reduce the first 10 on the card down to 3 but agree with bookies prices on the chances of winning so unlikely to be punting any of these 3 unless of course I cant find out else. You have opted to go for one of them Rocky Creek 5th last year a couple of pounds better off this year and still plenty of improvement in him as lightly raced and in form going into the race and the trainer seems to find improvement in most his horses. but 8/1 to 10/1 reflects his chances.

Pete
I am a little worried the race has now changed so much with fence modifications
moderate jumpers can make numerous mistakes and still be in with a chance
too many light weights running well,
staying really well at pace (not just plodding on) is even more the key than ever

where is your son going Pattaya or Phuket  or elsewhere
have they been before ?

saw some horrific driving - Again !!
you have to cringe at the bright white painting of body outlines on the the road
with any accidents that should be a reminder but it isnt 

Whatever they do dont pay for any colonic irrigation
just use the bidet guns - but with great care
you wont find them on the travel insurance cover

mi pet means NO spice
can come in handy if you need a day off

Finished my National Study and managed to get it down to 4.
Balthazar King 10/1 great form last two seasons and even better after a break (not run since November 2nd) runner up last year and has major chance.
Monbeg Dude 40/1 despite blundering at bechers and the canal turn on 2nd circuit last year still managed to finish 7th now 2 lb better off this year and booking of Grand National winning Jockey Liam Treadwell (Mon Mome)interesting at a good e/w price.
Godsmejudge 22/1 staying on runner up off this mark in Scottish Grand National last year after 2 pulled up races so wouldn't be put off by recent runs (one over hurdles) good chance but at 22/1 value has slipped a little.
Royale Knight 33/1  bottom weight and a proven stayer at 4m plus and will like the going, won both scottish borders national at Kelso and the Durham national at Sedgfield makes plenty of appeal to me at good e/w odds.
Remember e/w first 5 with most bookies now and other great offers to be found so take care looking around.
Good Luck fellow thieves.

Stew my son is going to Phuket and Krabi.

Well I will stick to my first thoughts
I must say Al Co & Pineau De Re do look to be overpriced
Fav looks too short so
I have backed  Spes Nostra 10/1 3.15
looks better value than Larrys Shuthatdoor

best of luck guys

Pete
Krabi area is probably the best of the touriste spots
though not been back there since Tsunami
plenty of pics for you when he gets back
hope he remembers waterproof sun cream

Well done picking Many Clouds Stew, hope you had a few bob on?
The best of mine was £15 e/w on Monbeg Dude at 50/1 though the wife is claiming a fiver e/w of that even though I can't remember telling her I had backed it for her, it ran a great race and the jockey Liam Treadwell was superb the way he avoided a couple of dangerous situations. (I congratulated him today at Market Rasen on a great ride and in my opinion an even better ride than the winners if you watch the race again though that doesn't seem to make sense)
Wish I had gone e/w 1st 6 at 25/1 instead of e/w first 5 at 33/1 with my biggest stake Royal Knight. Never mind I can't grumble I came out with a profit and managed to leave Market Rasen today after the 5th race with a profit.(quite cold windy day there but the Hog Roast Baguette washed down with a glass of red helped)
HKF that horse you give me yesterday at Newcastle despite being supported 20/1 to 12/1 ran a bit suspicious.I know the jockey had it in an impossible position but never once tried to find a way through and never once rode it and it looked to me like it had plenty of engine there so may be worth looking at next race.
What did you think?

My thoughts exactly Pete .Must have something
in mind for it.One other thing,it wore a tongue tie
in every race 2013-2014 but not yesterday.
Maybe a ready excuse if it trots up next time

text me a reminder when you notice it runs next , cheers.

Thanks Pete, but thanks to Monbeg you are giving me a good beating in the comp
Im leaving it a bit late
deliberately its just so you wont have time to get back at me
I suspect that HKF has been getting in early then laying them all off just in case of an accident
I think hes spending too much time in bed trying to dream up his winners, hes never up when I pass

HKF sent you a note 
but not much help really
Somebodys diving in on that 'fact finder' tomorrow . . .  outcome should be interesting

Hi guys
hope you are doing well
20% chance of Thirsk tonight if you have any winners

at York Wednesday and maybe thrs
if its easier to find winners there  please post one  or maybe two 

Had my eye on Itlaaq.Down to go
on Thus. Heard you bumped into Petemac at Thirsk
on Sat night Stewpot.Hope you caught him before
his ten pints .He was there with some BIG drinkers

Caught him sober I think
although he was sat playing with the band at the time
well they had all gone on a break
thinking about it he must have been well gone
because he thought he had backed the 8/1 winner at Nottingham and the 16/1 in the first
I dont know how much of it he got home with

I think Onlyhorsesenfoolsie may give yours a run for his money

I wonder if Mo is wandering North

Well soon have to go and dust down that Top Hat form book 

in the meantime which of these (if any) do you fancy HKF

Withernsea 8/1
Barnet Fair 8/1
Magic Memory 12/1
Cosmic Chatter 16/1
Viking Storm 11/2

Nice to see you flying high HKF
you can have Monday off now and get that hedge cut

Hope your ok Stewpot
  Had to sharpen the pin

It was totally blunt April/May
The boss has bought me a new petrol hedge trimmer
Ive closed the gap on the spark plug

Hi guys
hope you are all enjoying your sport
had a nice break
thank goodness Ud is changed the comp route
short sharp shocks
now thats a nice approach
easy to step out or in

HKF
I am going to have to pay you a call
or riskier still start putting some money on
that sand is calling

Nice to see you posting again Stewpot
Was starting to worry about you

To all E.W.Thieves and other napsters

Happy Christmas and a Healthy Wealthy New Year

Its been a very busy time for me so havent had time to keep up-to-date guys
I suspect I may not be alone
Looks like the future months is going along the same lines
so heres wishing you all and your families best wishes for the year ahead

keep up the good work guys
