***** E.W. Thieves Team selections ***** 2025

Admin
Start date - Sunday March 9th, Cheltenham week.
Runs for 16 weeks
finishes after Royal Ascot

Wild Card allocations will be listed at start of comp
Dont forget Saturday deadline cut off is 3.00 p.m.

A bit presumptive of me but I assumed all with their hands up to play naturally wanted to 'Go With The Thieves'
A search is already in place for 'new blood' or even old blood just in case we have any no shows

We can put anybody on standby whilst awaiting Team confirmation's

Signing in capt Lets hope the whole team are back and ready to go

Cheers Dessie, got slightly lucky at the death but they all count

Hi guys
Well some sad news as suspected HKF & Petemac have confirmed they have retired and didn't want to let the Team down

However I am on the case to find suitable replacements
and our first big signing is (drum roll) raspberrybottom
So please make him feel at home and help him out if needed

Welcome Raspberry

Hi, guys!

Hopefully this'll be fun and hopefully we'll have some winners

Hi guys progression on recruitment progressing
Although a degree of confusion as to final outcome at present...

Looking at UDs last post I'm thinking our final two are Tommy and Nashwan,if so, BIG WELCOME CHAPS!! Happy Sandwich going to Shrewdies?? Confusion reigns on the run up to the start lol.

THIEVES'R'US!!!!

Thats TommyWestofLanark & Nawshan
just to prove we can all eventually spell newcomers names correctly eventually
you will have to excuse the few elderly ones on here guys

I know nothing about this comp so very much awaiting the team tactics.

Hi guys quick refresh/update for you

I will try to keep it simple even though appearing long winded
One selection per week Win or EW
Your best bet of the week is not easy, especially when starting from Sundays racing onwards
A lot of selections are left until late on in the week esp Saturdays
8 rounds of scoring, 2 weeks per round, 2 selections per round
Post your selections on Uds topic for that Week No & before the scheduled off time
Try to post on our topic as well
It also helps to let others know which race(s) you may be considering
I really prefer not to have 2 in a race but it is acceptable esp if odds justify it
Dont mind any discussions on quandaries / options / opinions
Saturday has 3.00 cut off .... Very relevant if posting AW sat pm
I dont mind you putting up a different selection to your daily nap selection
Dont expect a Judge and Jury decision if you get it wrong, it certainly happens
Not bothered if its a 40 yard screamer wow or tap in, early scores do boost Team morale
Dont be surprised at a bit of shirt pulling, over the top tackling or professional fouls
Captains have been known to wander out of their areas on occasions but dont be distracted

Undecided will publish daily blow by blow accounts & weekly positions per examples below
This was a high scoring round BTW

Hello stewpot hope your keeping well

Am I right in thinking the comp starts Sunday ?

Good luck to all and welcome to the newbies Tommy and raspberry

Hi jimnast I'm OK
aging faster than id like, only been racing a couple of times since we last met
still long hauling and up for the odd challenge, priorities change
Hope you and yours still enjoying life

oops you already know now Jimnast!!

I wanted Nashwan but it was taken, so Nawshan it is. Last winning horse I backed. Was 1989 I remember it well.

I named my first dog nashwan what a horse what a trainer very happy days ,you could bet anti post with reasonable confidence in yourself.

We’re both fine stewpot we have just come back from Madeira that is a sign of getting old.

Jimnast, I suspect it may well prove easier to find winners there this week

Nawshan

I backed him for the derby before the 2000 guineas but not in the guineas itself still don’t know why 36 years later
