Hi Steve
Great shout with Devious Devan @ 16-1 it looks like all the hard work and patience paid off.

[Mike]

Hi
I still cannot get any bet builder options on my two “Rags” so will also go in on both with 1/2 point each way @ 12-1 for 10 places.
This could be a bad day at the office…..lol.

[Mike]

Hi
I am out this later this morning and with little happening in the extra markets the 40-1 being offered for 5 places on both horses is tempting enough to take on at 1/2 point each way. I will try and get on for the bet builder if the chance arises but will be looking for both for 10 places.

Hi
Well we did a good impression of Custer at the Little Bighorn last time out with all four bets going down and duly dropping 4 points which takes us all the way down to +2.29. This is probably going to be compounded tomorrow as the two runners we have at Down Royal are both on paper no hoper’s.
They are both in the same race and if both lose we will sink into a minus for the first time. This is especially concerning as in last years thread Ridiculous Ideas for 2025 at the start of May we were over +30 points up.

Down Royal 2.10 Crypto Crash 33-1
Down Royal 2.10 Leitzel 40-1

Crypto Crash looks the bets of the two at the weights but we stick with both as the system puts them both up as “Extra Market” bets. We will update as soon as we have some prices.

Hi
A bit of a damp squib to finish the competition off with no one scoring any points on the last day but such is life. It has however given me the chance to try out a competition to put up to the other sites later in the year (assuming no one takes up the original TTF competition).
Here are the final totals for the overall competition.
Mgame +268.97
Joe +244.96
Suds +231.40
Rob +224.77
As for the cash (side) competition (winnings on there way).
Suds +£44.88
Mgame +£16.25
As Mgame is actually now also linked with another site it might be we can work a joint venture out next time but who knows. There competition ended at Aintree and was run along the original TTF format but there must be a compromise somewhere. ?
In the meantime I am obliged to everyone who joined in and just sorry I could not get any rival sites to join or take on but maybe with a bit more planning and notice it might be possible next time around.

Hi
Not that it will effect the competition winner but for bragging rights the only other runner today is Jade De Grugy who takes on Wodhooh in the 4.15.
Rob, Joe & Myself are on Jade De Grugy but only Rob & Joe could benefit position wise.
Matin Midi Et Soir rounds the competition off in the 4.55 all obviously at Punchestown.

[Mike]

Hi Suds
I forgot to mention I had taken Matin Midi Et Soir @ 7-1 last night.

[Mike]

Hi
One win and a non runner last week but a no score draw competition wise. The question is can we get back on track this weekend with this weeks super six.

Goodwood 1.30 Fitzella @ 2-1
Newmarket 1.45 Double Rush @ 8-11
Newmarket 2.20 Botanical @ 13-2
Newmarket 3.35 Bow Echo @ 4-1
Punchestown 3.45 Ujavemeinstitches @ 5-1
Punchestown 5.30 Jump Allen @ 9-4

The lottery numbers are 4,7,16,23,26 & 50

[Mike]

Hi Suds
Well you can’t lose the cash competition so well done with that but it would be nice to go out on a high.
As for the competition it looks like Mgame has won that unless you get both Wodhooh and Matin Midi Et Soir to win and the prices drift.
The table currently stands as follows and I will announce the full result tomorrow
Mgame +268.97
Joe +244.96
Suds +231.40
Rob +224.77

[Mike]

Hi Suds
I have taken 9-5 on Anzadam without both Lossiemouth & William Munny best of luck.

[Mike]

Hi Suds
I will place that as soon as the prices go up. As for the competition there were no points scored today so it all goes down to the last two days. As a technicality Mgame won the April competition and is still in the lead overall but Suds could rally a late run with four horses running over the last two days.
Here are tomorrows entries at Punchestown
4.50 Dino Blue
4.50 Kala Conti
6.40 Anzadam
6.40 Lossiemouth

[Mike]

Hi Steve
I cannot believe how close you are getting keep at it I really thought Sugar Hill Babe was going to get there today.

[Mike]

Hi
The only winner today was Gaelic Warrior which gave Rob Andy & Joe +20.83 points which leaves the competition standings as follows.
For this month its getting tight at the top with three people in contention
Mgame +42.62
Andy +42.43
Rob +41.56
The overall competition is also getting interesting with only few days to go
Mgame +256.57
Joe +232.56
Rob +224.77
Suds +211.11
Once again I still have my mainframe computer down but I am convinced I have the figures right (maybe) I will confirm tomorrow.
The cash competition is looking good for Suds unless Mgame can pull a stroke in the next few days
Suds +£51.88
Mgame +£16.25
Tomorrow we have three races at Punchestown with entries in and Rob could do well here
4.15 Daydream Nation (Moi)
5.25 Kopek Des Bordes (Rob)
6.05 Jimmy De Seuil (Rob)
6.05 Kawaboomga (Moi)
6.05 Teahupoo (Joe)

Hi Rob
Inothewayurthinkin was I must admit one of my not so clever suggestions for a competition TFT horse this year but you never know now the ground has changed. ? Enjoy your few days at the festival I used to manage a shop in Brecon and the Jazz Festival (when they allowed it through the streets) was an experience I will never forget.
However, Health and Safety and Jazz Festivals will never mix, it must be 20 years ago George Melly was a regular festival visitor then and true story he fell over and broke a bone in his hand and had his arm in sling but told me the reason he was really embarrassed was he had been sober at the time….lol.
That’s it inspired now its Bunny Berigan in the car when I go to pick my computer up, have a great day out. !!!!

Hi Rob
Not an issue the free bets serve several purposes they form a separate competition, they are also hopefully a bit of fun and a “Thank You” to those who take the time to participate. Last but not least I will still be trying to get other sites interested in a joint competition in August and the free bets idea might just make it more of a viable proposition for the next jumps TTF/TFT. ?

As for the competition there are two races of interest today
4.15 Love Me Tender (Rob,Andy,Joe & Moi)
6.05 Fact To File (Mgame)
6.05 Gaelic Warrior (Rob, Andy, & Joe)
6.05 Inothewayurthinkin (Steve)
