****The Shrewdies Team Tipster Thread Oct 2020****

Calling SS? Do you have a selection for the team today, sir?

You got a wild card ready skipper?

He hasn't posted a nap today either, maybe got Internet problems

OK lads, can you post a few ideas for a wildcard selection?

Yes put up Tulip Fields

Sorry lads its been a busy week

Totally forgot the horses most of this week,

Good luck SS

Was about to suggest Gumra in the 6.30.

Good luck SS

Cheers

Euchen Glen has huge weight but I can see him running into a place at least.

Just saw you post SS....good luck mate!

Been distracted by the election all week, hence not checking the horses, not had a bet on the horses since last saturday

Mind the way mine have been running you'd have been better off getting the dog to paw the paper for one

What's your dog's strike rate? We'll sign him up for next season.

Better than mine, WP

1/20 I think so yeah better than myself

Its just so bad every selection, ridden along first again

Awful, you'd have gone close to winning this with someone who could pick a couple of winners

Breeders Cup tonight, if anyone's around, not a bad night last night: pins been out for tonight though! Not sure its good picking them BA though (Before Alcohol)

5.02 Gamine
5.39 Big Runner/Leinster win and place
6.18 Knicks Go
6.57 Cayenne Pepper/Rushing Fall
7.36 Franks Rockette win and place
8.15 Raging Bull/Circus Maximus/Kameko
8.54 Swiss Skydiver
9.33 Mogul/Magical
10.18 Tiz The Law

Not that they take any notice of race time over the big pond.

Know how you feel SS, even the election gone to someone with dementia

Good luck with them Tiger

Good start Tiger

Lads do we keep the stake if we win?

Ie if my 4/6 shot goes in then do we get 16.66 added?

We are 14.50 behind the leaders...they also have 1 bullet to fire in the 8pm chelmsford.

Yes we do keep the stake. But remember we have next week to go in this round.

Oh, my bad

Swad v Platinum? Who wins? Lets hope its us, more points on board the better, sorry Plat.

If only racing was on paper, the most likely chance, but every time its been around the front end its not gone to plan, hope its not a dog!

Tiger is our resident US form expert
I like Pepper & Starship in the F&M,  I like the look of Monomoy Girl & Harvest Moon(RFC) in the 8.45 and I think Maximum Security will bounce back in the big one. Wish it was a bit softer for Safe Voyage. That horse is a big fav of mine. Time to crack a beer!

Seeing Glass Slippers win gives me hope the going might not be that fast after all?

Simply awful, sorry all, WD plat

Woof woof

Unlucky Swad.

Well so far, had 2.86 about Gamine that won first and 2.34 about the place for Leinster in the second but also backed Big Runner to place, it didn't!

Overall its entertainment on an otherwise drab evening, smallish stakes. Sick of football but at least the mother in law isn't here

Time for some beer, 6 bottles of Old Speckled Hen to get us underway

5.3 about Knicks Go in the next, only 3.25 so will trade out somewhere along the line for a freebie

Out at 2.7 half way round.

1.7 that should have been

Shouldn't traded out tiger! Well done! That old speckled hen will taste even better now.

Track record and wins nicely, makes you wonder why daft fookers would trade out too late now, but its all money in the bank.

Aye, but I'm playing with someone else's money for the rest of the evening which is nice.

Speckled Hen going down fine, are you supping WP?

Amazing how many front runners win on the dirt.

Agreed, I'm a backer of prominent racing beasts myself, rarely back a hold up horse.

Yeah, better safe than sorry but it does seem like if you get out in front on the dirt and you're leading on that final bend, they rarely comeback.

I'm drinking Budweiser Budvar tonight

Gumra just won at Chelmsford at 3.53, a nice evening all round just become even better.

Cant be doing with lager except when on holiday, but Budvar is my choice if available

going down very nicely

Hope you got on that O'Meara beast at Chelms?

Put one of his up in the comp this week....got on at 9s because I thought it was a plot horse (trainer switch, gelded and switched to a surface the sire does well on) Smashed off the boards but the horse is still running! No to be fair, it ran an Ok race and will win races at Southwell this winter.

I certainly did, as posted Happy days.

His is a stable I like very much WP.

1.02 in running, easy enough to get out but wish it had of held on

Expecting Yaupon to try and make all in the next, just hope that mine can sit in ust behind and pick him off late on or get a place at least.

Circus Maximus 1.35, again easy out but wish it could have held on, beaten by a 73/1 shot

Safe voyage given no chance.

Agreed WP, wasn't really put into a position to attack during the race.

Is this 8-54 a two horse race ?

Gone with numbers 2,4 and 8 for a little interest.

What are you on Tiger/WP ?

Evening noc, hows the beer/wine flowing?

I'm on Swiss Skydiver here at 3.6, will look to lay off sub 1.6 if possible.

Fav won nicely, mine never below 1.96 i/r.

One of yours in second place noc, big price, hope you were on ew?

Swis Skydiver stumbled out of the stalls, put paid to her chance really.

All quiet on the Alcohol front Tiger

Been watching mainly,great to see Fanshawe have a winner,our lot holding their own.

Yes, the OAB 1-2-3- was an amazing feat, nice to see Fanshawe and Kevin Ryan in the winners enclosure, even if the yanks did think that Fanshawe was French

Mogul/Magical dutched in the next 5.5 and 3.8, good luck if you play.

Win only.....ran well in defeat,winner too good on the day,fine beast.

Backed both of Gosdens here,Mehdaayih is interesting back on decent ground.

Good luck with your two,looks a cracker this one.

Winner looks a decent type.

Beer gone now consuming Palazzo Grimani Amarone della Valpolicella, its very canny. Wife is watching a movie in the other room, no mother in law, its heaven, shame that there is just one more race

Well its Tiz The Law, been my bet for today all week, on at 5.5 and have some 3.05 and 3.1 in the 2 place meerkat. Lucky last? Fingers crossed.

That was impressive from Tarnawa,covered most of Keeneland as well.

Modest interest 1,3 and 7.....1 in the 3 place market covers everything.

Good luck with TTL.

Good luck nocturnal.

Nice place noc

Well, thats it, back to some loud rock music.

Not my best BC but only small Stakes for fun so nothing to cry about. Having a couple of JD's and ice now so I will say goodnight chaps. Enjoy the rest of your evening

Thought 1 would be there rounding that final bend,not quite.

Winner did it the hard way,best horse on the day.

Enjoyed the racing as a one off tonight,take it easy Tiger

Aye, its nothing serious for me either WP, just a big race meeting at the beginning of winter and always interesting. Enjoy.

Missed you out Captain,enjoy the JD

Killers live at the moment, not loud enough, but there's plenty of wine left yet 

That slot they did with the pet shop boys at Glastonbury was superb! I certainly will Noc and I already am.

Was waiting to see if Joseph was going to take Dlauro out because of the going but he's left him in so may take a chance e/w with him.

5pts e/w Dlauro 2.45 Navan

Unlucky Platinum looked like the bit slipped through his mouth

Stu, Plat & Chavman are in a hurry to get out of here! Thanks for all your efforts chaps. May you have a profitable end to your 2020.

Dlauro broke a blood vessel halfway round crossed him off my tracker now, think he will be retired.
We did ok skipper for a make shift team, maybe we can get together next year if Undecided runs the team competition.

Morning all, might be having a go later, liked the way Panic Attack won his bumper and could be one to side with despite the worrying drift, has drifted to a decent ew price though, like Innisfree Lad too.

Glad I left IL alone, too much weight, still looking at the other for later, market might well decide for me.

Put the 2nd up in the 1.50 at Chelters. Had a decent win bet on it and put it in a double with Sam Twisty's horse in the last too. GL team with your final selections.

The team has to go for it now so I'm putting Stringybark Creek up in the 7:15 at Wolverhampton

Massive price but has won at the course before, ran well last time round here on its other start, 7lb claimer up. Poor draw but we need a big one so gotta go for it.

I think Happy Diva can follow up her win in the PP from last year.

Frustrating game at times!

Stringeybark creek short enough! UL

Im sticking up SMT Bubbly in the 2030 at Wolves TOMORROW

Worth a pop SS!

Good luck Swad, Tiger & Noc with your final picks and for the rest of the year with your own betting.

Started a mini league for the 10 to Follow if anyone is interested? You can only enter one team so pick your best one....well the one you consider to be your best one.

The pin is:000678

I apologise for my pathetic contribution

Not a single winner and contributed 1 EW all comp

Pretty woeful to go 0/14 1/14 EW

You will get 'em next season Sont....team up with your dog! 

Btw, Golan Future looks very interesting tomorrow. Seems to be running back into form and won the same race last year. He loves it like a quagmire and I think he might just get those conditions tomorrow.

I picked 3 winners at OK prices. I was sweet on all 3 as I was on one at the abbot(2nd)and yesterdays selection at Cheltenham. A couple were token selections.

Non runner Tiger

I couldnt get the effing tote to work! So possibly not.

This season been a pleasure gents.

Goodluck for your betting in the rest of the year, you wont need it!

Tiger Tiger has picked  non runner skipper if he doesn't come back on to replace it does it go on the favourite or do we lose it ?

Just read the rules if it is not replaced it goes 10pts on the favourite in the same race

A bit late in noticing Tiger's non-runner, any of the team can replace it before the original race time or it will go on the fav.

2-50 chelt   Tobefair WIN


Tiger or Captain ?   Might be worth sticking one up at a price Gents ?

Been grafting all day hence the selection was put up last night, Good Effort would have been the replacement, only 5/2 so wouldnt have helped our cause much this round I don't think.

Good luck Swad with yours tonight.

Wherever we finish, it will be higher than most predicted at the outset, well done all.

Well done to the guys who gave the team a fighting chance

Just a pity I couldn't contribute anything to the cause

But a fun comp and would love to do it again, WP might decide he wants a slightly different team though

No probs Tiger,Stu was the only one of us on the ball.

Have no fear Sont,on this effort I,m right up there in the transfer window.

Despite that,good to meet some new people in difficult times.

Best of luck to you all going forwards,been a pleasure.

Lets get the SAME team back together for the next team comp. Thanks for your efforts lad.

WD lads
