3 Peak Challenge summary
Hope you had a good day guys I think I may have set a bit of a tough ask but it is pre-season Targets were simply to pick one of the following winners :- 111/1 415/1 12/1 Nobody managed the 12/1 exacata managed the 111/1 winner three of you Motseel, Hilly & HKF were halfway to landing the 415/1 task Diary notes keep them off the football tipping, stick with the racing Get exacataman weened off picking 111/1 forecasts Try and get Motseel focused on just picking 22/1 winners, dont ask him to pick seconds Keep taking the liquids lads |

By:
Flemski plenty of chance for you to shine
when you get back from doing that Coast to Coast jog stamina task If you pass a guy with a Peaky Blinder hat playing keepy up its probably Pete tell him he is overdue |
|
By:
Hi Guys
Please at least look in on Friday or Saturday just to confirm you are active Competition starts from Next Sunday 9/8 In the meantime feel free to post any questions or thoughts |

Just a quick reminder especially for newcomers
any guidance from me is usually rare, unless you here a hard knock on your front door with a pizza for the all night studious ones I dont mind contact via Betfair messaging feel free We like Teamwork and encouragement, its a bit of Fun for us, we are up against lads with reputations and agents to keep happy you will all know by now your various strengths / specialties feel free to focus on them I dont mind when you play early or late in the week, note you can play upto a minute before the scheduled off time(which is new) I do ask the very late posters to let us know 'I will be posting late' and I dont need to know which race just need to know if you are out there Captains can play wildcards if a no show exists but I need to know you are picking late It can be a strategic game so if you are going in late please check the scores on the boards e.g. if you are last to play pointless picking 2/1 if we are 50 pts adrift So it may affect which selection you may choose to impact the final outcome for the final week of the fortnight Note the cut off time is 3.00 on a Saturday regardless of your race time after that see you at the weigh in Fri / Sat Watch this Topic Thieves'r'us |

Hi Stewpot.....Petemac checking in and confirming I have my loaded gun ready to shoot Salmon and the other has beens down...
What a f...k on I have had tried to get back on here...been trying all day... Salmon old friend you really are in for some “ Rough and Rowdy Ways” Hope everyone is fit and well |
|
By:
I heard the gods up above were angry over your way
I said no its probably just Pete having an off day Welcome back my friend we wouldnt have started without you |
|
By:
I've been having problems too Petemac. Welcome back, and well done to each of you who got anywhere near in that Stewards Cup. For my sins in the Summer Handicap I got the last four of the eight
 |
|
By:
I see 3 of the top 4 in the 2020 stats are from the E.W Thieves
. Hope we haven't peaked to soon  |
|
By:
Welcome back pete. Hope you and your family are keeping well.
|
|
By:
Yes Hilly some pleasing impressive stats there from a number of the Team there, and some special memories of heights reached in the past by others
I am hoping we have the right blend of current form with dormant potential, and hopefully you wont notice me as the lead passenger  |
|
By:
The not so hidden secret to winning this comp is that 'We' all dont pick winners in the same week/fortnight
Some of us need to just reign back a little & Trump when it matters  I can see the hands going up now for volunteers for the reign back pack I am sure you will all get your turn lads |
|
By:
Hmmm, I didn't notice that Hilly, I'm busy rewriting the comp as a handicap
|
|
By:
Hilly if you post on this topic
the eyes of the world are on you, well usually on one or two others to be fair its wonder Donald hasnt posted yet So just for him and in the interest of balance especially if the Handicapper is looking in the team does also contain two recently relegated players ( must be worth -7) Three elder, off the course (5yrs+) returnees ( must be worth at least -10 each) although they may well have been receiving some specialist overseas treatment I have my doubts if they will ever reach their dizzie heights of the past BUT that is exactly why they were keen to return if nothing else they would just love it to prove other tipsters WRONG but not as much as I will enjoy their banter WHEN they do  You cant buy ENTHUSIASM well not in Lidl |

By:
For the new kids on the block, and those with fading memories
Despite what it says in my topic description, Undecided will put up a topic on which to post your selections With the amount of effort Undecided puts in to this comp he needs every assistance possible you can also post them here after that with any other comments |
|
By:
And talking of fading memories, I am just ditching some old racing stuff
The racing fixtures for Goodwood week 1958 & week preceding, it included meetings at Folkestone, Lanark, Hurst Park, Bogside, Alexandra Park, Birmingham, Manchester |

Well there is an Ante Post market by GEORGE.B
We are 5/1 3rd favs He has their Team the Pins as 2nd favs With Humbugs as favs I think its a plot expect to see Andrew.In.Sweden to post Humbugs as lay of the week on Saturday **** |
|
By:
We usually make a list to allocate out any wildcards
I will do it tomorrow, probably alphabetic Explain tomorrow |
|
By:
GEORGE.B (Lucky Pins) Ante Post odds
Team Odds Humbugs 11/4 Lucky Pin Club 3/1 Each Way Thieves 5/1 Racing Demons 7/1 Cleeve Hill Mob 15/2 Tips Out For The Lads 9/1 The Shrewdies 12/1 Pool Of Talent 16/1 Please dont knock him off his stool, he was brave enough to open up before Betfair had a market on the event thats a rare bookie |
|
By:
Wildcard usage reminder
If somebody doesnt turn up with a selection for that week or is away on Holiday (it might happen) then they can inform us beforehand or somebody will be given an extra selection that week we normally just allocate out in alphabetic sequence or it maybe the only person on hand at 2.30 on a Saturday we dont want to let a free opportunity to go begging, you dont have to accept it feel free to pass it on, so the sequence will be DeSSieReborn, exactaman, Flemski_ Hilly, hong kong fooey, motseel, petemac, stewpot (capt.), |

Noted Cap'n.

Nice to see petemac back
It must be a coincidence that it's at the same time Dylan makes a decent record. |
|
By:
Hi Salmon
Loving the new Dylan album..are you just a spectator in this team comp or was there a team desperate enough to include you? |
|
By:
Stew
5:1 3rd favourites good bet that like ( house job) Did Salmon make anyone’s team? |
|
By:
I did offer to be non-playing captain but Lampus threatened he would send the Cornish massif to visit.

By:
Nice to see you are in rude health Pete
The NH fixtures are just stating to pick up, but feel free anywhere you want Guys you have 200+ races a week so you c an afford to be picky Its nice to have a wide spread quite happy for our blend of strong bankers with the nice value E.W. plunders 80 pts secures a challenging position If we get lucky early then a relaxed concentration makes its appeal  |
