As it would appear I have not yet been usurped as captain in spite of some disappointing results in the last competition, could I ask all previous members of the team to make known your willingness to continue as a memebr of this esteemed team. It would be helpful if you could all also confirm that your training programme is going well and that there are lots of decent priced winners waiting to be unvailed when the competition starts on Sunday 19th September.

Brilliant News - 5.0 Newm - EW
Spotted this one last night at much bigger odds but maybe good it's strong in the market.

Gone in early on Diamond Bay EW though
disappointing price
Palixandre to win the 4.15 Carlisle tomorrow for me lads
given the match situation i feel it needs to be win only
Well boys...there's sh!te and there's sh!te and then there's my selection!! 
The sh!ttiest run by virtually any horse I can ever remember picking!!!!
I cannot apologise enough for my abject effort....7 non-runners, resulting in a third of the price I was looking for and it still couldn't even place, let alone win.
Think I 'll move on to bingo, slot machines and the national lottery.
Sorry once again, (very) Mad

jockey was keen to stop it being anything but last, possibly forgot to race.
Has to be Moll's Memory for me tomorrow in 4.30 Newbury. Trainer, good, going suits, should be thereabouts
No worries Mad we have had a good run lately can't happen every week maybe someone can pull a rabbit out the hat.
Brilliant qqking, takes the pressure off tomorrow's players
"Q'Q" 
Hopefully week 5 gets me a winner on the board.
3.30 Chelt: Sky Pirate.
G/L today.

Nothing standing out in particular today for me but have ended up with Born Patriot in the 4.05 Cheltenham, gone EW
Charlton's seem in good form so taking a chance on One Journey.
Great shot qq.....thanks for making up for my sad effort!!!
Well done captain, that's the high score bonus back in our court but a few selections to go.
Not for me ud. Admirable as he is he's now on his highest mark ever against some likely improvers. Not sure he beat much at Kelso last time either.
At the prices VWs appeals at 10/1. Skeltons had a nice warm up in a hurdle and I always pay attention to Emma Lavelles runners; not convinced about TDM from Nicholls stable.
But then again I'm wrong more often than I'm right

Fair comment, I do let sentiment in a bit too much. Quite like Minellacelebration in the prior race.
Anyway, we are in the semis, brilliant job team, let's hope we haven't peaked too soon

another week of great scoring and good to know we are in the semis be nice to finish top before the one off knockout stages.
Well done all the team, it has certainly been an impressive team performance with different members coming to the front in different weeks. No pressure this week, but I think we should keep tryimg to reach 100 points as a minimum and then up the ante when the knock out stages begin.
OK. Really fancy Bronze River in the 7.30 at Newcastle.
Trading at 3.45 at the moment but reckon it will go off at under 3.00 so 10pts on the nose for me.

Gone in early again Masque Of Anarchy 5.25 Newcastle EW
A bit unlucky. A couple of bad jumps probably was the difference between winning and losing there.
As we are already through to the knock out stages I suppose I will go for Bringitonboris for the 4th time in this competition in the 6.10 at Newcastle. Up 4 lbs for his win last time out, that may well stop him winning but I would probably me more annoyed if he won and I hadn't picked him rather than if I pick him and he doesn't win.
Afternoon all - going to put Capt Drake up EW in the next at Ffos Las. Should be 8/1+ and nothing should come out now so will be 1-2-3.
Good luck at the weekend

gone for Quick Draw at Weth was hoping to go e.w but theres has been money for it so win only hoping its improving, but not a great race so heres hoping.
Sorry lads I was a bit impatient in the week and should have held out for today
Good luck to the 3 of you selecting today

I hate this game sometimes, Amoola was my first choice yesterday
Good luck lockup and bluenose!

Quick Draw non-runner so 10pts win the fav same race.
It looks as if we may snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. A very astute pick of a non-runner there!
No worries lads had a word with Tom Lacey said look the Demons are in a spot of bother this week can you withdraw leave to Skelton's
Indeed it's not what you know, but who you know!!! Just a narrow victory this week so that we don't upset the handicapper.
Can't believe we won that.....both teams need to hang their heads in shame and no points should be awarded!!!
That'll bring the crowds back. Last minute winner deflected off the referee and into the top corner.
Are we guaranteed a home draw in the semis now.
Well done lads

I've put up On Call e/w 1.30 Chepstow today.
Looks good to me - fit and in form c/d winner, with a big question over the (admittedly potentially well in) favourite

Well done there madhatter, that was a really gutsy performance
Well done mad, he says thru gritted teeth, as I backed something else
But Eceparti drifted from 11/4 last night to 7/1 today so that accounts for it
Would love to see Red Giant win the 3.20 Musselburgh lads, having On Call & Witness Protection in a patent with him....
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Very well done madhatter, can't retire yet though we have a tournament to win
It's Friday and Bringitonboris is running once more at Newcastle. As our result this week is not crucial, I feel I have to go for this one again. Almost certainly will not be picking this in the semi-final/final!
Fantastic, no problem with him running for us in the semi
Me again
Gone for CAT TIGER - 2.15 Aintree.
Looks a very lenient handy mark 134,especially with no course,trip & ground concerns.
Goes well fresh also.
G/L this weekend.

Good effort Sawyer....I always it bloody annoying when a longer priced one beats it
Well played everybody this week again, just good enough to not upset the handicapper. However we may have to up our game next week. I think I will probably be starting off on Monday to try and get some points on the table.
good effort lads i dont think we could have kept our early pace up forever, but hopefully we regroup and go again, should suit our jumping preferred members now.
Congratulations Racing Demons
you have deserved that top spot for an all round Team Effort
Nice to see Captain Aquarius loyalty being rewarded

Unlucky i think we have to be cautious who we are playing against, each way and timings is the way to go
i think the issue will be exactly that Duke....neither team will want to commit early so all selections will end up being posted on Saturday, close to 3 oclock...
having said that, i may go for one this evening to try and put some pressure on The Mob
...The Shrewdies
Tamaska - 7.00 Newcastle : 10pts win
Just watched the replays of its last 3 races.
Seems to put it all in every race, likes 7f at Newcastle and is running to about 7-8lbs above its current mark.

I am going to post one in the 2.00 at Wetherby but will wait to nearer the off to ensure I get the full 8.
If there is a non runner I have an ew pick in the 2.07 at Uttox and about 4 in the Paddy Power

Cancel that as I see onthehoy has already selected it.
Will stick up my selection in the 2.07 ew.

I guess I'll be the one posting at 5 to 3 having seen all your winners beforehand and you won't have to rely on me to pull it out the bag
Actually it's duke's will probably be last pick, I'm not going for anything at Wolves. Fergal's running well, sound pick.
Well done there bluenose, enough to put us in the lead for now.
Betfair SP - Cornerstone Lad 2.08, Fransham 2.40 but SP Fransham favourite 6/5, Cornerstone Lad 5/4. I think there needs to be a stewards' enquiry! Even joint favourites would have done.
Zulu Dawn - 3.17 Uttox - Win
Didn't have much choice, if their last one wins we will need two of 3.
Good luck

Only the one winner for us this week and the lowest total of the 4 semi-finalists,so I suppose we deserved to lose but the SP of the 12.50 at Wetherby, I still find very strange. The other way round and we would have been in the final. However as there is no VAR it is over. Thanks to all the team for some good performances over the weeks and if undecided has the energy to run a furthr team competition I hope you will all be willing to participate again.
Sorry about the NR selection lads, rules are rules its an impossible task to please everyone, a really grim way to advance though.
With it being a big tie in the grand scheme of things I would of found it more than fair enough if Undecided had forced me to pick another selection, he has done the right thing even letting us know that that would be the sel if I couldnt post, which sadly I couldnt post at the time.
Doubt much can be done about this, and it makes it even more awkward the organiser is in your team. But if people genuinely do feel disgraced, you can liase with the Cpt Piccadilly, I'd be open to choosing something tomorrow (odds on so the same result is still likely) but it gives both teams a chance. If our lads feel its as simple as "rules are rules" then id get that too.
