Ten To Follow

[Mike]

Hi
It looks like we could still have a busy few days for the competition with the following still declared over the next two days
Today
Navan 2.32 Quai De Bourbon
Navan 2.45 Final Demand
Monday
Exteter 2.00 Lulumba
Navan 2.10 The Yellow Clay
Navan 2.45 Marine Nationale and Dino Blue (kit kat challenge..lol)
Navan 3.10 Kopek Des Bordes
Rob holds pole position and has three of the above running with the big match being the 2.45 on Monday. Rob has Marine Nationale whilst Hopefull, APm, Mgame and Joeh have all gone with Dino Blue. If Marine Nationale wins Rob should clean up this month but if Dino Blue wins its game on for November as there are some big guns coming out later in the month.

Hi
A bit of a disaster for Dino Blue followers when he clobbered one in the back straight and with The Yellow Clay not looking race fit it was a funny old day. But at the halfway stage in the November competition the standings are a follows.

Robmull has three winners and 34.94 points
I have two winners and 17.6 points
Mgame and JoeH both have two winners and 8.69 points

Everybody else is off the mark competition wise with at least 4 points and we have another interesting weekend coming up.

[Mike]

Hi
A big weekend again with all of the following looking likely to run and a few kit kat challenge’s thrown in.

Friday
Catterick 2.25 Greatness Awaits

Saturday
Ascot 1.30 (Bonus Race) Jango Baie v Il Est Francais
2.40 (Bonus Race) Wodhooh
Haydock
3.00 (Bonus Race) Grey Dawning v Haiti Coleurs

Sunday
Punchestown 3.00 (Bonus Race) Fact To File v Gaelic Warrior

[Mike]

Hi
Its “Hats Off” to Suds today in the competition who had three winners and a grand total of +44.31 points on the day. This makes Suds our new points leader and tied with Rob on three wins for the month. Suds also has one more win in the overall competition and a grand total of +48.81.
This however could change tomorrow as Suds has no runners but Rob has two going by way of Jade De Grugy and Gaelic Warrior. Mgame could also get involved this month if Fact To File turns over Gaelic Warrior which would make it a cracking finish to the monthly competition next weekend.

Hiya 😁🥳 definitely a good day 😊 nice to get some points for this month. And another exciting day tomorrow the competition is definitely looking interesting 😁 good luck tomorrow if you have horses going

[Mike]

Hi
Well that was close Rob, Andy and Joe all scored +16.62 with Gaelic Warrior beating Mgame’s Fact To File by a neck. I picked up 7.5 points with Kala Conti. This means the November competition is now a two horse race between Rob and Suds.

November Competition
Rob +51.56 (4 wins)
Suds +44.31 (3 wins)
Joe +25.31 (3 wins)
Moi +25.10 (3 wins)
Mgame +22.94 (3 wins)
Andy +20.91 (2 wins)
Hopefull +4.29 (1 win)

Hi
Big weekend especially for Rob and Suds as one of them gets November bragging rights and the free bets. The big race of the weekend has to be on Saturday ata Newcastle with Constitution Hill( Mgame) v Anzadam (Rob & Suds) v The New Lion (Rob Hopefull Andy & Joe).
Then on Sunday at Fairyhouse
1.35 Love Me Tender (Rob Andy Joe & Moi)
2.05 Romeo Coolio (Suds)
2.35 Teahupoo (Hopefull & Joe) v Ballyburn (Hopefull Andy & Joe)
3.05 Bowensonfire (Suds)
I can see this going down to last race on Sunday which would be great for the thread. Andy Hopefull and Joe also have three runners each and could pickup some useful points. MGame could still play a part in influencing the result if Constitution Hill can roll back the years in the big race Saturday.

Hi Mike,

Just noticed that you missed JIMMY DE SEIUL – 11.36 Fairyhouse today from your list of runners over the weekend, who was a late replacement on my list.

Rob.

[Mike]

Hi
Yes Rob my fault I had changed it on the spreadsheet but not updated it on my horse tracker notification file.
Jimmy De Sieul won for +5.88 points which takes Rob up to +57.44 with Love Me tender still to go tomorrow. Suds is still on +44.31 (for November) but has two runners going tomorrow in Romeo Coolio and Bowensonfire.
The way the points work out this could any which way but loose now as if Love Me Tender wins Suds would need both Romeo Coolio and Bowensonfire to win. If Love Me Tender loses and Romeo Coolio wins but Bowensonfire does not it could come down to the SP’s etc etc

[Robmull]

Hi Mike,

No problem- I hadn’t even noticed he was running until I viewed the results.

Great to see that this month’s competition will be going to the wire – good luck Suds with your selections.

Rob.

[Mike]

Hi
For November we had a tight run finish with a fraction of a point deciding the final result. But Rob has the bragging rights this time around…lol.

Rob +57.44 points with 5 winners
Suds +56.84 points and 4 wins
Joe (rallied late on) to grab third with +41.31 points also 4 winning selections.

Strangely Suds leads the competition with +61.34 and 5 wins overall due to the winner on the first weekend which started the competition off but was technically October. Hence the extra free bet thrown in as it seems only fair.

With that in mind Rob gets 2x £5 win bets and Suds gets 1x £5 free bet which can be used on any of their competition entries. This will kick off the second competition to see who can accumulate the most profit by the end of the competition.
To be more flexible, although the bets cannot be each way they can be betting without the favorite/s etc. If the first one wins they may then split there stakes in half continue or cash out at anytime.

[Robmull]

Hi folks,

Well that was close and a surprise, as I thought Suds had pipped me to the post, after LOVE ME TENDER was declared a non runner and ROMEO COOLIO was successful.

Thanks for putting up the free bets Mike and a great idea that Suds should be awarded one for just missing out.

Plenty of time for the other participants to catch up, as this competition is very much a long distance race and not a sprint.

All the best,

Rob.

Hiya 🙂 thanks Rob and well done 👏 good start to the competition. Good luck with your free bets 😊

[Mike]

Hi
A good weekends racing is lined up to kick off the December competition with the following likely to run.
Saturday
Navan 1.10 Daydeam Nation (Moi)
Sandown 1.50 Lulumba (Mgame JoeH & Moi)
Sandown 3.00 Il Etait Temps (Rob) v Jonbon (Mgame)
Sunday
Huntingdon 1.15 Don’t Mind If I Do (APm)
Cork 1.40 Kala Conti (Moi)
Cork 2.50 Majborough (Mgame & JoeH)
Mgame looks to hold the best hand of cards but a lot depends on Jonbon stepping up to the plate as not only is (Robs) Il Etait Temps a worthy favourite but L’Eau Du Sud is no slouch is what is likley to be the best race of the day.

[Mike]

Hi
Rob is developing into a definite front runner competition wise and has started off with +15.73 thanks to Il Etait Temps.
Lulumba also won which means Mgame JoeH & Myself are in the chasing pack with +12.40.
Assuming all tomorrows selections run Mgame
& JoeH could take the lead if Majborough wins. I could also get involved if Kala Conti does the business.
