***** E.W. Thieves Team selections August 2020 *****

'Gingers do fly' at Newmarket anyway, good luck today guys

morning chaps, reporting for business. Neil Mulholland has his string in fine form, will have a go on Cesar Et Rosalie 1st at Wetherby

Going for Valtor @ Ascot, goes well fresh, course form, ground appears no problem.

Good luck to our selections today

Morning guys
sorry last nights gamble didnt work

Thanks Petemac, Flemski & Hilly for posting that will certainly give us some interest this afternoon
plenty of promise in those choices

Only Dessie to post, I know he will be giving it some serious thought

Best of luck for any left to play. You are spot on Pete.We will be lucky to get next years
summer race trip on,the way things are going.

Unfortunate there Flemski & Dessie
Fitness may have caught you out Flemski
Dessie yours just didn't jump well enough to give himself a chance

Good luck Hilly

Sorry lads, not a bad run on the flat lol but as you say stewpot, too many niggly mistakes at fences and that one two out submerged it into the big squeeze. Good Luck Hilly

Well not quite our day today lads
shame about Sam Spinner getting pulled up so early Pete

we may just have been saved though by our heroes Racing Demons
thanks to Regal Encore to take top spot (at present)

Custardcream could prove to be the Party Pooper

he has Bayston Hill for a place in W 7.30
Im sure deep down he would be happy to settle for a 4th place
and it all go down to the last round

GET YOUR FACTS right Stewpot

Before I get a liable ban
Apologies to custard cream its China Castles selection

unlucky with your selection hilly. Looks like we're in a fight for runners up!!

Morning all
unfortunate with the outcome last week but at least we gave it a go guys
as you can see the 'Lucky' Pins have Won (again)
but we gave them a run for their money and had a bit of fun trying to beat them
Its not over though
we have a little matter of claiming the runner up spot
Everybody remembers who got the Silver award so it does matter
Lets see if we can at least go out with a '#############' (= Firework of some description)
you dont have to wait until bonfire night

motseel our only scorer last week set us up with a champagne start
lets see if we can find a bit of a Fizz from elsewhere this week


Cmon you EW Thieves

Afternoon guys
Nice to see you guys keeping your powder dry
although watch this space as I am expecting
a very long apologetic letter arriving very shortly

C'mon Dessie
I think we need to know have you moved stables, been gelded, tongue tied or have you just spent the weekend at Mr Mcmanus rehab resort
Please supply a hair sample for Mr Bolger to have a look at

ooooer cap'n I didn't want to let on until fully trialled and approved but I sent a begging letter with a tenner in it to Lucky Pins HQ and they kindly sent me back a VERY lucky pin which I received Monday evening. I'm not sure they'll be letting them go for a tenner now though

I just hope it carries on working outside of the Naps tables lol

Have plumped for a shortie tonight... Colorando 7.35 Newc. WIn

Let's start of with a winner...

Buena Suerte exactaman lead the way

Was gonna pop the thin blue line in til I seen exactamans selection

Aargh

Plum Ali to place in this 9.30 Keeneland surely a certainty

Morning fellas.I hope Dessie has kept something special back for us .Unlucky yesterday lads. I will
be going in either the 3.15 or 3.45 at Donny. Will see how the prices go.

Plenty of darts to be thrown today, no really strong opinions for me.

Gunna go ew Eagle Court, 3;15 Donc. Apologies HKF if you were leaning towards that race.

Morning guys
hard lines exacataman & motseel
Unlike some, I am quite happy to have two picks going for us in the same race
especially if decent odds on the table
rather have 1 nap win & 1 loser than someones nap actually ending up going onto something they are not so strong on

Good luck with todays choices guys
Only one week to go

Morning Thieves and good luck to everyone today. Mine is in,  its Not A Role Model EW in the 12.40 Wincanton.

Thieves'r'us!!

Sorry about that Motseel looked a 2 horse race on paper and unfortunately I erred (EE-awed) on the side of the donkey...!!

Gone Chitbello at Aintree
Well done all so far

petemac, your team already has that one, please pick again.

Cmon Pete
we cant double our stakes

Pass that Pin over Here

Just Brilliant start

A Real Role Model

What an incredible week for you DeSSie, what with all the naps comp winners and now this

Lets face it I owed you all that one guys

Thieves'r'us

Flemski you will have Petemacs wildcard if he fails to come back on
can you post a reserve on here & we will see if he comes on

Second reserves Hilly & HKF it may well end up in your laps

I will manage its posting

oh my lord pandemonium beckons

UD

I have text Petemac but no reply .Our wildcard may be needed. Brilliant Dessie.

Brilliant stuff Dessie deffo owed that one...

Stewpot has exactaman had a wildcard?

Exactaman maybe I should have asked you, have you had a wilcard since mine as you are next alphabetically? (If so I've missed it lol)

If not I suggest you get digging for one if you don't already have a fancy after 3pm

Master Debonair 10 pts win 3.00 Wincanton
Apologises

Welcome back Petemac. Wildcard pandemonium over. RRRREEEEELLLLLLAAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Ive gone EW on Get Knotted 3.45 Donny. My choice in the 3.15 has had a leg amputated.

Thanks guys
You were in danger of me having two picks
no joy today motseel saving the winner for next week


Just got to get my choice right now

Funny Feeling Flemski may feel hard done by there, unlucky

Ive gone for Ess Gee Nics 8:00 Chelmsford E.W.
Im hoping the late night wont upset Ud too much

Well would ya believe it Zip has Zapped this week

Great shout Dessie, well played

The Final week ahead of us guys - Just have another look at that table
The secret of this comp is to save your best nap until it is really needed
I am sure Dessie would have preferred it to be slightly different
but it would have been a very quiet week without that 16/1 winner - Well Done Dessie
I am sure the lead has been achieved legally (clock tampering still to be resolved or revolved)
anything that subsequently happens which erodes that lead will have to be carefully scrutinised
Selecting with Pins & posting selections still allowed
Sorry to say I havent the money to match Humbugs lawyers so we are at risk
Lets bring it all to a happy conclusion which will meet Undecideds aims a healthy competitive competition
with a large chunk of Fun

Well its all to play for
I would love to be writing next week - 8 scorers WOW WOW WOW
but records show that will not be the case - however records are there to be broken

GO Thieves GO

Aye Aye Cap'n, fine words, which I'm sure we'll all have in mind this week. My particular favourite words are "records are there to be broken" I think its been shown that four scorers out of eight selections in a week is tough going......but hell lets go for it !!! (Who is going first lol...........)

Thieves'r'us

7/2 winner but only ew, thought it might be a tad bigger in a poor race

wp motel, another good winner.

Yet again great stuff Motseel.

Have plumped for Vive La difference - 5.25 Newc.

Thats one tick in the box already and as regular as clockwork its motseel again
You have certainly been inspirational this season

heres hoping your choice exactaman does exactly that to our score
lets hope he doesnt get himself into a lather today knowing our hopes are on his shoulders stay cool
a cool night in Newcastle might help (no fog I hope) and his polite 'after you Claude' is not taken to extremes

Afternoon Thieves and good Luck this evening Exactaman.
WELL DONE MOTTERS you sneaked that one in! Made our Captain very happy,happy,happy. It was just what Dr Stewpot ordered

Thieves'r'us

Great start motseel .Good luck with yours exactaman.

A truly professional finish Dessie

A lovely DOUBLE TOP finish 16/1 & 9/2

Nicely done Dessie

Struggling with Sat

Going with Good Effort @ Lingfield, seems apt.

Good luck with the selections.

Brilliant stuff Dessie...!!
Saved the best till last...!!

Apologies for my poor selection earlier in the week...
On a bad run at the moment...

Best of luck everyone playing today finishing 2nd overall is still pretty cool..

Thanks Hilly

Just a little reminder Flemski
you are still on the Wildcard standby post a reserve in this topic - If you wish
Dont post it on Undecideds
I am sure it will not be needed as all guys will be keen to finish the season - Scoring points

Well done Dessie. Cream always rises to the top.Hope i can add to your brill selections. Ive gone
E/W on an old favorite of mine Sands Chorus 5.00 Wol.
Really enjoyed this comp, even though ive been well off target. Good luck today lads.

Hilly

Can you post a reserve selection in here please
just noticed Flemski hasnt posted all week in the naps table - I do hope he is alright

HKF good luck there Sand has always been a strong point,  have you got a reserve just in case

My reserve would be Howzer Black 7.00 .Do i need to put it on the selections thread.

No its just in case
Flemski doesnt post &/or Hilly doenst post anything
I will post it if needed .... cheers mate
you can RELAX

Gone 5 ew On The Blind Side 2.50 Cheltenham

Well done Dessie and good luck the rest

Thanks Pete
sorry to say I liked that race as well
Ive gone for Golan Fortune EW  2.50 Chelts
taking on quite a few other napsters today
looking forward to a slog in the rain
lets see if we can keep the others at bay

HKF
I will be posting yours near to 2.50
if Hilly doesnt post by then

Ok guys posting HKF wildcard selection

Well Done guys

Well he came up on the Blind side A nice quiet late entry GET IN Petemac
I don't mind you beating me ]

Hilly puts in much more than a Good Effort Top Man
Just when the pack were closing
exactly what we wanted and given a peach of a ride

get in there hilly

Well I am sure a N/R is not how you wanted it to end HKF
You certainly haven't had the rub of the green
You never lessen your ambitions and stick by your principles always admirable

We are this rounds WINNER'S we kept the best until last because also we are WINNERS Twice Over
We are The Real Winners as we showed The Biggest Profit at the end of the day and thats what counts guys
Thats the bottom line or in our case the Top Line - TEAM Thieves you can be really proud of your achievements I applaud you

Thanks for making an Old plodders Very Happy

Wow we've done it? Great achievement guys to finish runners up AND amass a better return than the Pins who are a fantastic squad as they proved winning three of the seven fortnights to our two. A cracking finish and proud to have been part of the battle.

Thanks to you Captain Fantastic, its ALWAYS a pleasure to team up with you, and you've rekindled my interest in the competitions

Big thanks to UD who is a RELENTLESS WARRIOR in providing superb pleasure for so many people on here, and for such a long, long time. I'm up for another whenever or if ever there is one, and I hope the rest of you Thieving Tipsters are too.

Enjoy your Xmas all, if thats possible this year!!

Same old story from me, but what a great finish from you fellas. Thanks to Undecided for running
a great comp and well done to the Pins. If their is another next year i would love to join you.

Well done guys, great final round.

Enjoyed being part of the team, hopefully we can stick together should another event take place.

Well done stewpot and co. Some distinctly heavy scoring by you and the Pins. I'm afraid we were left floundering but it looks as though there will be another showdown in the New Year. See you then     

Just posting tables for you guys to reflect on a great run
Excellent last week with 5 scorers, just what I asked for guys
I promised a Roller Coaster Ride well it certainly was
Hope you all had some Fun along the way
Some great Winners and some crucial point scoring along the way
To come out top in profit is some achievement
I think the mix helps make it
Its about playing your part and having a go
I know I dragged a few of you back out of semi-retirement Im very grateful to you
but I thought our New Transfers exacataman, Flemski & Hilly were a definite plus factor congratulations to them
I am sure they didnt know what they were letting themselves in for at the time, experience will have brought them on
There were some ups & downs and we know thats how this comp operates, key is to always have somebody on the UP

Undecided appears to be suggesting he will run another mini series probably in time for Chelts next year
Whether I will be here then is debatable, and I am prone to the odd monthly vacation around then
More to the point I will have to take off my Saturday Mug Punter hat again, it gets harder every time
That 6 years away certainly showed (or did I keep it well hidden)

See you in the spring guys after hibernation, dont worry about waking me Undecided keeps me in a box with his hedgehogs
You see he always goes that extra step

Many Thanks

I do hope Flemski is OK, concerning about his absence, wish him well
Please stay healthy guys

Morning thieves. Yes Stewpot, fingers crossed that Flemski is okay and able to visit the thread soon.

Thanks for being a great Captain Stew and well done to the team , a really decent effort.
Was that a pat on the back from Salmon ?
That was worth the entrance money alone.
Stay Safe everyone.

flemski posted a nap in the daily comp div 2 today

flemski posted a nap in the daily comp div 2 today

Thanks Dessie
thats a good sign lets hope he is on the mend

Salmon
thanks I am sure the guys will be ready for your Teams resurgence 
Will the new year see a new name Bah Humbug should be enough to lure them in

Buona Notte

Pre Season Training - starts next week

just joking guys - missing you already
a nice quiet saturday afternoon to enjoy
