Oh now I see

My jock just dropped his whip  before he used it .... arrrggghhh

feel for you stewpot i know you've suffered twice with classic the one thats nicked your prize

Sorry about the ****-up yesterday, chaps.

Not really a problem raspberry it was just everything happened so very late on
circumstances conspired against us ......  basically my reactions arent what they used to be ...
You can all be thankful I am not an active race rider .....  just in my head .. 
I suppose I could apply for a licence

jimnast & Captain contributions gratefully received
The backswing looking great just the follow through is a bit wayward more f-o-c-u-s required
Wind going to lessen this week must be a help

Wildcard note to follow

Wildcard note
I know its a bit late with only 5 weeks left but here's a suggestion ..... feel free to review
If anybody wants to nominate a wildcard substitute default that we can select from ... post it on here
I know its tough enough finding one nap never mind a nb
Conditions are the qualifying race must be after 3.00 pm Saturday and it needs posting on here by 2.00pm
Its just an option ... Remember its just in case we need one to choose from

I will post one early just to ensure layers have something to fall back on

Sorry Team got blinded by the glint off the trophy ... got carried away ....forgot to say
"Its Just a bit of Fun Enjoy Yourselves"

I am playing one tonight, if needed I could look for one on Sat as a wildcard. I'm going ew Kingofthecarnival 5ew tonight 19.00 Kempton. Cheers

Evening Nawshan, unlucky with your selection tonight.

As no one has used a wild card yet I don't think it would be a bad idea for you to search for one on Saturday and post it in here for Stewpot to use if one becomes necessary. It was a freak problem last weekend but it did cause a panic for El Capitano which we don't want to happen again if we can avoid it. Please post your suggestion for the wildcard, in here, not on the selections thread, on saturday? I'm sure Stewpot will be okay with this

Like the numpty I am I have mistakenly posted this on the selections thread also so please

don't post the wildcard suggestion on that thread

Good morning thieves gone for one at goodwood this afternoon in the 232 magic effort hopefully get some points on the board good luck to all over the weekend.

Going with Langstone at Haydock, was on when it won last time out and was quite impressive.

Good luck Thieves

Good morning All. My effort today will be Golden Strike York 5.00 E/W. GL All.

Good luck everyone playing today. I fancy Pole star 4.05 Haydock it would be 10 win if a Wild card is needed.

Good morning everyone I see the hot weather is the news headlines which as there’s not much else going on in the world it’s understandable

Back to the racing I’m going over to the magnificent curragh for my pick today 5 ew fixation in the 230.

Good luck everyone today and over the bank holiday.

I am going still rushing 4.25 Stoneacre Donny york

res if needed 5.00 Bloodsweatandtyres

sorry Dessie have to leave it to you

Hi, guys....

Going with: Cristo - 6.15 Salisbury Each Way

5pts EW Vintage Clarets 2.40 York is my selection.

okay stewpot i'm back here now will watch over til 3pm.

By my calculations we are now all posted so no wildcards needed unless we get late nrs before 3pm.

Tally ho thieves!!

Hot 20 minute period for us 2.20 Hay, 2.30 Curragh and 2.40 York

Hilly if you are around I've replaced your selection with Stewpots reserve in the 5.00 York because its so late and i'm thinking you'll be out golfing in the weather!!!

Quickly logged in to put selection in, can go with either that or reserve, leave it with you

Sorry Hilly I didn't expect you around but UD has confirmed your new selection is accepted so alls well that ends well

That "HOT" 20 minute period for us turned into a long shower

Brilliant Strike Tommy! Well Done that man

Was unhappy with Fahey let me down but he's made up for it Lovely run that

El Capitano will hopefully have been yelling you on at the track

Yet another Great Team scoring performance that earns us some just rewards
Yes that was me shouting him home Dessie, it just started to wander into a little bit of desperation at one point
Tommy your loyalty is well and truly repaid.... you always knew it would be
back on tomorrow
Well done Dessie & Hilly havent caught up yet
Unlucky Raspberry you so nearly held them at bay

Great winner Tommy as Declan rice said on the final whistle at the ethiad this isn’t over yet.

Final 2 rounds (4 selections) to play
The Team is very well placed, true we have to outplay TOFTL to get to the top but it is certainly achievable
With 2 rounds to play that is a realistic target for us
Great point scoring from Tommy this week but as I have said before they ALL count, raspberry & Capt topping up

We have set ourselves a high standard lets keep it going
Come on you Thieves

You are so right jimnast if that last result had gone our way we would have been sat on the TOP of the table

Gone for Hope Queen EW in the irish guineas

Hopes Dashed sorry guys

Hard lines Dessie I can see that big pot of gold tempted you in
we all could have had the week off better luck next time

Sorry Cap'n fell for the stable in form in England as he had the 2nd in the Guineas so thought surely he has a great line on the two O'brien horses and the 3rd? Lee went over I thought they had to be going for it Looked like it didn't stay which bamboozles me

You could say it was a "pointless" effort from Burke and for me We live and learn......

Good Luck everyone else!!

Hi all, for a change I will be around tomorrow
but if anybody wants to post a reserve wild card on here for a later race
just in case, feel free to do so
Opportunities abound

Looks like Oisin & Billy show tonight couple of tough handicaps and unlucky tales await
off to look elsewhere

Another Silver Bowl tomorrow so you may need to update for Uds comp guys

rollthedicebaby in the 215 beverley is my pick good luck everyone.

Foxy ... You havent said Win or EW Foxy, default will be Win I know you usually go EW

hi stewpot ive corrected it now thank you for reminding me

Was going to stick with Langstone but half the price he was last week, gone with Redorange at Carlisle, on an upward curve.

Good luck Thieves

Good morning everyone other than a veterans race what a horrendous card at catterick free entry would be to much.going to Carlisle for my bet this week 345 crest of fire 5 ew .

Another moan what a disgrace the football tonight isn’t free to view even though for a period at the turn of the century arsenal were are bitter rivals I really would love to see them win tonight and that’s not just because it’s a French side there playing.

How rude of me

Good luck to everyone

Good Morning All. Today I'm going in early Carlisle 1.30 Topteam E/W. Jimnast. I'm  also hoping The Gunners do the business tonight.

Good morning Tommy did you ever go to Lanark racecourse ?

Morning Thieves, good luck to everyone today!!

I expect it will be a very feisty CL Final with at least one sending off, but no interest in watching it although the sight of Gabriel or Rice (or both) getting their marching orders might be worth paying for....ah well may the best team on the night win

Good morning dessie will red cards have any baring on the World Cup because England have two chances slim and no and if rice was missing then slim will have disappeared..

Im going 10pts win Redorange in the 2.33 Carlisle. An obvious pick I hope it delivers. Good luck all.

Just saw Hilly has already done it so back to the drawing board

Im going Blue Courvoisier in the 3.45 Carlisle 5ew Cheers

Foxy has non runner can she have Arapaho gold each in the 248 please

Some tough cards today so may as well just chance my arm
Thanks guys for early postings and leaving plenty to pick through

In one way or another Rouge may well be the colour of the day
Good fortune to all ....

I will post that for you foxy/jimnast

Thanks captain

Good morning, chaps....

Going for:

Bell Shot - 4.00 Beverley (Each Way)

I have posted yours as well jimnast

thanks captain

Thanks Raspberry .... All in bar me I hope that Bell is going to ring loud & clear ....

Yes still here guys had 3 of my races picked
so decided we may have better chance of 2 strikes if I go elsewhere
Not many ew fancies elsewhere so going Win on Factual in 4.55 Car unless late drift

Hard lines Tommy & Hilly lets hope Carlisle not a jinx

Well you were unlucky Foxy as I am sure you could have nailed the winner
so sorry to say you will have to accept the shorter priced winner
Soon to be followed in by Nawshan who chose well in a very tough handicap ably supported by jimnast just in case
Excellent placement all

fight of the whiskeys here Bells v Glenns come on Rasps

So far so good, final choices couldnt boost us any further opposition have a few late choices fingers crossed

Evening Thieves, well done todays points scorers, especially Nawshan with the winner

Still in the hunt, Thieves'r'us

Morning All. Well done those who managed to contribute especially nawshan in a very tricky handicap. As for Topteam well he wasn't finishing stone last. I really like Andrew Balding as a trainer but not W. Buick's biggest fan. Post race the jockeys comments were the horse weakened quickly 1 1/2 furlongs out ( talk about stating the bleedin obvious).
Jimnast. Yes I went to Lanark regularly great memories. I still play Lanark Golf Course occasionally and always stop the car and just view what's left of the racecourse, very sad.

Good morning Tommy

It was the last racecourse that closed before I started going racing so never went next time at Hamilton or Ayr I must remember to have a look at what’s left,l live over 200 miles from Folkestone yet it still makes me sad they have just left it and forgotten about it.


Very well done nawshan

Great Sunday card at Thirsk this should happen every Sunday .

Nawshan winner went a big way to keeping us in touch
Foxy & jimnast topping up helping out I fancied Foxys N/R strongly but at least Foxy didnt loose out totally

Epsom week awaits or maybe a few earlier plays I suspect
Lets see if we can keep up this consistent scoring going ..... Its only just keeping me in a job

Come on the Thieves

Well I guess you guys are all mulling over Derby & Oaks possible opportunities
just a question of whether the obvious is worth challenging difficult to compare some form lines
Buick riding at Donny on Derby day must be a first

Stewpot.Not seeing anything jumping out at me tomorrow so it may have to be Saturday for me.

Gone for Amelia Earhart to Win the Oaks tomorrow.

Good Luck Thieves for tomorrow and Saturday!
