Hi Suds
They all count you made another £25 today and that takes you into what looks like a winning position as you now have a total of +£51.88 in the cash competition unless Mgame (+£16.25) Rob or Andy can pull a rabbit out of the hat in the next three weeks.
You also picked up +25 points in the competition which means you go into second in the April competition.
Mgame +42.62
Suds +25.00
Andy +21.60
I will update all the totals on Sunday as we still have a couple entered tomorrow Kala Conti (Moi) who goes in the 12.45 and then Haiti Couleurs (Rob) and Quai De Bourbon (Moi) who both run in the National.

Hi
I think the way it is going I could have guessed today results the two I left alone as they had already won for me Agameoftwohalves & James The Brave both won again and the rest all lost.
This means I will need someone to throw me a lifeline soon as I have now managed to slip further into the mire and now stand at a paltry +6.24. But on the bright side I have nothing for tomorrow so my head will remain above the mud until at least Sunday.

Hi
Apologies it was a long day yesterday and I was not quite 100% last night but here we have the full update.
Wexford 4.55 Accustomed
Wexford 4.55 Humble Brag
Wexford 4.55 Miss Mini Bee
These three are all taken for a top 7 finish with the bet365 boost included @ 3.75 -1
Wexford 4.55 Speakasyoufind
This one is non runner but hopefully he will get a run shortly.
Wexford 5.28 Agameoftwohalves
Wexford 6.05 James The Brave
Both of the above have already won for us so we will leave those alone today.
Dundalk 7.50 Grey Fable 12-1
I have taken this one each way @ 8-1 betting without both Desert Friend & Celtic Druid.

[Mike]

Hi Suds
All done £5 win on Grey Dawning @ 4-1 (best odds guaranteed) best of luck.

Hi
I am a bit pushed for time tonight but here are tomorrows thread options.
Wexford 4.55 Accustomed
Wexford 4.55 Humble Brag
Wexford 4.55 Miss Mini Bee
Wexford 4.55 Speakasyoufind
Wexford 5.28 Agameoftwohalves
Wexford 6.05 James The Brave
Dundalk 7.50 Grey Fable
The only one we are going with tonight is the “To Follow” horse Speakasyoufind @ 20-1 for 4 places. I know I have missed the early 40-1 opening price for 3 places but such is life.
As soon as the extra markets become available I will fill in the blanks, with hopefully a chance to place a decent bet builder in the 4.55.

Hi
We finally had a couple of winners today with Jango Baie +21 and Brighterdaysahead +21.6. Mgame had both so goes into an impressive early lead in the April competition with +42.6 points Andy is now in second with +21.6.
We have two going in the competition at Aintree tomorrow with Grey Dawning for Suds in the 3.30 and Il Est Francais for Steve in the 4.05.

[Mike]

Hi
Unbelievably no one scored points last weekend which means we head into the Aintree meeting all square. Here are Thursdays declared runners.
2.20 Lulumba (Mgame,Joe & Moi)
2.55 Jango Baie (Mgame)
4.05 The New Lion (Steve,Rob, Andy & Joe)
4.05 Brighterdaysahead (Andy & Mgame)

[Mike]

Hi
We had two winners two non runners and two losers and two close but no coconut losers.
Fairyhouse 4.25 Blow Wind Blow Top 3 finish @ 2-1 (Non Runner)
Fairyhouse 5.00 Mode Avion Top 5 finish @ 9-4 (6th)
Haydock 5.05 Major Fortune @ 4-1 (Won)
Ospreys +15 to beat Ulster @ 10-11 (Won)
(Sunday) Fairyhouse 3.15 Love Me Tender Top 3 finish @ 15-8 (4th)
(Sunday) Fairyhouse 5.00 Kala Conti Top 3 finish @ 5-2 (Non Runner)
This means we got a win as we ended up with default trebles due to the non runners. I say we win but the lottery ticket did win a lucky dip which goes tomorrow night.
I believe the numbers are 8,10,29,35,51 & 58.

Hi Steve
Well done with a 14-1 winner today you must feel relieved you have (I believe) had three winners on the bounce in the Beat The Lotto (£) competition and must have been thinking your turn was long overdue in this thread.
nb: I have only just noticed the thread times had not automatically adjusted when the clocks changed I will sort that now.

[Mike]

Hi Rob
It was another misguided boo boo today as the only horse that was meant to be backed on the actual system was Desert Haven which was an “Extra Markets” horse (and came in) but I added in Hesgonethatway to make up the bet builder. Hesgonethatway was a “To Follow” horse who had already won for us Ridiculous Ideas for 2026 and should have been dropped. But my fixation with the bet builder has become an addiction and is driving me bonkers….lol. To prove the point I am going in with another today taken from a brand new list of hurdlers we used to follow that have now gone chasing.
Fairyhouse 5.00 (All for a top ten finish)55-1 plus 25% bonus (bet365) 68.75-1
Kiss Will
Argento Boy
Kurasso Blue
The Enabler
However to prove the worth of the system I am negotiating with another member to take over the base of the thread whilst I dabble with it on the fringes….lol.

Hi Suds
We all have our favorites and you have done well with this one this season so even though Jack Kennedy has deserted him to ride The Yellow Clay I believe you may yet have the last laugh. You have £5 win @ 13-2 betting without both Kawaboomga & Storm Heart.
Nobody had a winner yesterday and this race could well give one of us a decent start to the month with Kawaboomga, The Yellow Clay & Bowensonfire all in the same race. Lets hope Storm Heart doesn’t ruin the party points wise.

[Mike]

Hi
I will go with the bet builder option with both of the selections for a top 10 finish @ 5-1 and hope we can stop the rot. !!

[Mike]

Hi
Just lately I am thinking this thread is turning into a film unfortunately it is beginning to resemble “Custers Last Stand” or the “Alamo”. Having dropped a further 7 points today we now stand at just +10.24 and I need “The Great Escape” to get me out of trouble tomorrow hopefully these two can oblige.
2.05 Hesgonethatway
2.05 Desert Haven
I will be looking for a bet builder when the markets become available.

[Mike]

Hi Suds
No worries straight win or without the favourite etc ?

[Mike]

Hi
I do not know whether just rewards are due but one of our Cheltenham non runners is going today and we grabbed a bit of 14-1 for 6 places in the wee hours (having missed the 16-1) and it looks like he is being backed again as now best price 12-1 with most firms going 10-1.
The horse is Coyote Spirit in the 3.00 at Cork he bypassed the festival looks fresh has a decent claimer on board and usually hits the top 6.
Strangely another one previously mentioned in this thread Open Secret who runs from the same yard is a drifter but could still get involved and at 16-1 for 6 places and is worth a look. Options are both for top at 13-2.
