Goo Luck  sageform

one of us is off our trolley.

Eye    tike   2   tink   hit   wee   

Being off your trolley is a necessary qualification for a Humbug.

Put Magic Effort up in the next win and place.

Shouldnt have bothered!

Gone for Crest of Fire  2.20 Haydock e/w

Good luck everyone

Good morning Humbugs.
It does help if you post your selections on the correct one of ud's threads.
That's pedro and Lampus.
Your ever-watchful Captain has transferred them over.

Mine may be quite late. I have a shortie and ( by my standards ) a longie. I'll see what others in various teams pick.

Cuban Heels - 2-05 York. (win)

GO HUMBUGS.

That's everybody except me.
Good luck Humbugs   

I've decided on the shortie
Friendly Soul - 1.45 Haydock to win.
Hopefully this will be fit,but the Gosdens look to be gearing up for a big afternoon and Murphy booked for this one.

Good  Luck  Chairman  Salmon

Unlucky  salmon

Looks like a sinkhole. I thought the mare had gone lame at first but apparently not.
May give us a problem with the dealer's if the race is abandoned.
I THINK there is no provision in the rules for this so far hypothetical situation. Technically it's too late to put up something else as I read them. I imagine if it is abandoned he'll be on the fav in the next race,wherever. I'm going to leave that to ud.

I would get on there and stick another selection up on behalf of the dealer as a wildcard, if the dealer doesnt do so himself in the next 3 minutes?

Deadline extended to 4pm.

Yes just to confirm, you can replace the dealer's selection in the 2.20, please post by 4pm and I'll take whoever's post is first, ie. the dealer himself or your wildcard.

Right anyone got one.

If no one comes up with a selection and the dealer doesnt put one up, maybe Trojan Storm EW in the 8.45? form doesnt look great until you single out just his turf form, then his price looks too big at around 10/1? (won in a higher class of just 1lb higher than todays mark).

Happy to go along with the Capitans decsion of course.

Go for it Jinxy. I've not really got anything. I suspect the dealer isn't around as he put his up last night.
Wd Lampus. At least we have some points.

Will do.

Nice on Lampus

Thanks Jinxy and good luck     

A VERY disappointing 2nd week.I blame the RP 
We have a lot to do but it's still not impossible.

Apologies I wasn't on Saturday, didn't see what happened till later that night.

Gone e/w Miss Tonnerre 8.30 Kempton

Best of luck this week

G/L the dealer

Had a call out so had to go and they both won, lets hope thats not put the mockers on me for tomorrow.

Oh dear.
Good luck to us all tomorrow.

Sorry guys. The horse seems to be regressing fast. GL anyone trying tomorrow.

Rogue Millions 1.30 Carlisle e/w

Waardah E.W - 3.10  Carlisle

G/L  Comrades

I've gone for:
Machete Beach - 5.50 Stratford win.
Hopefully a 2 horse race and even more hopefully I have picked the right one.

Lampus, I might be taking you on with the favourite in that race, yours has quite a bit to make up in lengths and is 6lb worse off!! Its racing though and anything can happen!! So I might look to another race and hope that yours wins

Jinxy  I  thought  the ground  might
be too  firm   for a odds on shot

nothing wrong having  2  in the race
as long one of them wins 

Best of luck those yet to play this week

I’ve gone for Copper and Five - 5.08 Beverley

Thank hoof.
Just two to pick. Jinxy is obviously around. GLASGOW is dependable,but I'll check back in a couple of hours.

Supido - 3-30 Chester (win).

  Good Luck All.

Its a team game Lampus so I'll look at something else, then maybe we can both have winners Looking at a couple of Haggas horses, Albaydaa in the 4.30 and Keep it Classic in the 5.42.

Good luck today everyone.

Good luck all HUMBUGS

Good Luck all   Salmon

Haggas two winners already! Hope I've not gone for the wrong ones!

5.42 Lingfield Keep It Classic.

G/L   Jinxy

Well we have our 1st points. Wd Lampus.

Points on the board Lampus
Would have been more if I'd listened to you

I think you may have been short changed on the comp Lampus.

W/D   Salmon 

Thanks Jinxy  i  think it should be 10pts
not 5pts

Nice one El Capitan

Apologies from me, I should have stuck to my original choice.

Lampus should definitely get 10pts. One quarter the odds at 4-1 even I can work out. But I see you've queried it and I have every faith in ud.

As  you are   my captain  salmon
I  will   let  you make
UD  to do the  decent  thing   

I'm waiting for next table     

ud has given us Lampus' extra 5pts     
It does move us up one place but only to 5th.

Shes got a Brother - 1-30 Epsom. (e/w).
 

Good luck GLASGOW   

Good luck Glasgow.

Points on the board Glasgow

Nice pts GLASGOW   

Contemplating going in myself in the next at Epsom, Dandyman Dan ew or Possessive win.

Good luck sageform.

Humbugs
Legacy Link 4.00 Epsom. 10 win.

Went for Possessive.

Oh well.

I was looking at one at a longer price e/w in the Oaks,but I did think of the one sageform's put up as well earlier this morning.
I might go in as well. Will think on it.

Any points back is a bonus, a nice advert for the Dealers stable ( Katie Scott)

They were just not right last month or so, a few had  mucky noses etc but last week or so has been a big change and they are running much better. One of ours (falaise Blanc) after 4 really disappointing runs just got beat a short head at Hamilton yesterday.
Brilliant she got that winner today at Epsom, that's massive for the yard. She has a few interesting runners over the next few days, especially Figjam tomorrow.

Well done with the points GC

It's such a tough competition picking just one a week, invariably I'm sure you will have loads of time, picked the wrong one.

Good luck all still to play

Its  CALANDAGAN - 2.40  Epsom  For me

G/L  Team

Birdie Or Bust 1.50 Punchestown e/w

Good morning Humbugs.
If we are going to win this comp I think we HAVE to win this round.
Bearing that in mind and that Aidan has had a couple of real outsiders win this in relatively recent year, I'm going for Action in The Derby e/w.
If anyone yet to pick wants to go for one of the more fancied horses please DO feel free to oppose your captain. I won't treat it as mutiny   

Good luck today everyone

Best of luck today
