Pleae use this thread for any discussions for the forthcoming comp.
Unfortunatley it looks like we are starting the comp with one player short as we have lost both Oily Wragg and Celeric.
Welcome to our new member Thai Basil and i am hoping that she will help us retain our crown.
As we have 1 player short we will need to use a wild card each week. Can i suggest we share this between the team members and i will post on hee whose turn it is each week.
I will start the ball rolling this week and hopefully we can get off to great start with some good winners.
You can say that again, looks like I'll be relegated in the naps league too, really struggling to find winners, mind you I get these spells pretty regular

Again despite all the meetings don't fancy too much tomorrow. Persica should go well, but looks a little too obvious. Lambourn looks the most solid option in the Derby, but he is only around 10/1 so will stick with my original thought of Tuscan Hills at around 50/1 each-way. Fair chance he might not stay, but I will take that chance.

Another Saturday of bookmaker fodder that gives everyone a chance to lose before something (hopefully much) better arrives next week.
No bet, this is only up because I have to pick something.
2.05 Sandown Balmacara WIN
Very promising at the start of last season, but has never fully kicked on. Has run well at Sandown and assuming the jock doesn't get carried away, can dominate this small field, and win again.

Plenty to choose from this week. Decided to go with the one I thought was my best at the start of the week.
Not easy. My winning record at the Cheltenham Festival is probably in excess of 80%, but it's less than half of that at Royal Ascot. One of the problems is maybe getting involved in too many races. Trying to avoid that this year. Another problem is the ground. There is a massive clamour for quick ground, but I find it very hard to differentiate between those who cope with good ground and those who can also handle good to firm. The difference between good and soft is far easier. The draw and the jocks are always an issue.
Lots of Joseph O'Brien's have been punted. That's indicative of the kind of stable he runs. It's a million miles from his dad.
Anyway I backed Nurburgring at 25/1 a few days ago, and I am sticking with him.
5.05 Royal Ascot Nurburgring WIN
Given what's happened there doesn't seen any point going for each ways.

Thanks, it sums up my own season as well. Too many crossbars. Had it won it would have given us more total points than we had got in any weeks. Just to add insult to injury the only other ante-post bet I had in the race was Comfort Zone. Not an appropriate name at this moment.

I hope MC is OK too, weird how this comp went we all seem to have hit a bad spot, where last comp we were all banging them in, well three or four winners per week, my wife said she never scored a point, but if we're short again she will play.
