Well done Sageform

Gone e/w Castle Stuart 2.55 York

Good luck with your selections

Good Luck   the dealer

G/l the dealer.

Extremely Zain - 3-53 Newbury. (win).

   Good luck All.

G/L  Glasglow

G/L Glasgow.

Good luck the dealer and especially good luck to Glasgow (I was going to put that one up!)

Happy Days Glasgow

Well done GC

Wd GLASGOW   

Well  Done Glasgow 

... Thanks all, if anyone else uses a Tracker stick that one in, looks to be a good deal of improvement as the horse never settled one bit from the time the stalls opened.

Can I  ask Comrades  what  do  they think about
Kalpana 1.25   Newbury.

Will  look  in tomorrow.

The stable is in very good form including older Group horses like Sea The Fire. However Kalpana has a 7lb penalty and tends to improve as the season goes on so a bit of caution for me.

Hmmm.
Should win imo,but sageform knows what he's talking about,certainly with regard to the Balding stable.
But go for your gut feeling Lampus.

Izzy Fast 3.27 Newnarket e/w

Done Kalpana 1.25   Nudebury


G/L  All

Jinxy,hoof and yours truly to pick.
I am being horribly indecisive. I did want to do Notable Speech e/w given that Appleby finally got a couple of winners this week. But it's shorter than I thought it would be in what looks a very competitive race.
I'll wait as my back-up runs later.
So may not post till 2.55. Don't panic.

Salmon  that   was second  choice
i  have done moneywise

Still not sure Lampus.
At its best should go close,but Buick seems to find it a difficult ride.

A nice solid start - well done

I’ve gone for Beau Quali - 5.50 Uttoxeter

G/L  hoof

Nice one Lampus

Vwd Lampus.
G/l to all other Humbugs   

Eddaari for moi in the 4.37 HQ.

Right with a fair number of points on the board already,I'm going to risk Notable Speech to win in the 2.35 at Newbury.

Good luck this afternoon all those still to play.

wd Lampus for keeping the faith. I did back Kalpana as the market never really moved for anything else. Good effort with a 7lb pen. What a run for Juddmonte and Balding with Colin Keane getting to know them.

Nice one El Capitan

YYYIOIPPPPEEEE  CAPTAIN

salmon with chios tonight
2  bets both won

Could you make that cod and chips please ?

OK   Comrade

Team unlucky with  the S.P
5.5  Friday night

Well we are 1st after the first week,but it's tight so still plenty to do.

Well done guys

For week 2. House of Medici 6.30 Kempton.

Goo Luck   sageform

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

Bridge of Eagles 4.25 York Win

Distant  Storm E.W  3.40 Curragh

Good Luck Team 

Best of luck today

I’m going for Belle le grand - 2.10 Cartmel

Best of luck today

I’m going for Belle le grand - 2.10 Cartmel

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

Good luck sageform.

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.
