Hi
I am beginning to think after today’s results this is going to develop into a match between Suds & Rob…lol. All of the other entrants runners which I expected to get home missed out but Bownesonfire (Suds) +11 points & Haiti Coleurs (Rob) + 20 points both came in.
This means after day two of the big weekend the monthly standings are as follows.
Rob has now gone back into the lead with +35.73 and 2 wins
Mgame & JoeH remain on +28.13 points both with 2 wins
Suds has moved up into contention on +23.33 points and also has 2 wins
There are two +15 points races tomorrow and a +12 with Hopefull holding most of the aces if the bookies have got it right. Both Joe and Andy could get involved if it goes to plan but Rob could close this months competition off if his two come in.
This is why I absolutely love these competitions as it looks like this will go down to the wire once more. Rob has also retaken the lead in the overall competition with +93.17 and Suds is close up in second on +84.87 Joe remains on +69.77 but as mentioned above could turn it around tomorrow.

Hi
We finally got back on track this weekend with three winners for a +8.80 return and another win (unless obviously the lottery ticket wins more than £8.80).
Leopardstown 1.12 Found A Fifty without Majborough & Marine Nationale @ 11-8
Leopardstown 1.45 Love Me Tender without Le Divin Enfant & Skylight Hustle @ 13-8
Kempton 1.55 Mambonumberfive @ 9-4 Won
Leopardstown 2.22 Bowensonfire @ 9-2 Won
Chepstow 2.50 Haiti Coleurs without Jubilee Express & Rock My Way @ 5-1 Won
Leopardstown 3.00 Mossy Fen Park without Ballysax Hank & Will The Wise @ 9-1
It’s about time to and it was not far off being a decent payout with Carigmoorspruce and Solness being the spanner in the works in two of the other races. Anyone would think it was xmas…lol.

Hi
Hopefull has put up Mambonumberfive and lottery number 26 but is currently resetting his password and may not make the 9pm deadline so has asked me to post.
Here are the final six but as it’s Xmas we will just use the rest of the TTF entries for tomorrow.
Leopardstown 1.12 Found A Fifty without Majborough & Marine Nationale @ 11-8
Leopardstown 1.45 Love Me Tender without Le Divin Enfant & Skylight Hustle @ 13-8
Kempton 1.55 Mambonumberfive @ 9-4
Leopardstown 2.22 Bowensonfire @ 9-2
Chepstow 2.50 Haiti Coleurs without Jubilee Express & Rock My Way @ 5-1
Leopardstown 3.00 Mossy Fen Park without Ballysax Hank & Will The Wise @ 9-1
Xmas lottery numbers are 4,7,16,23,26 and 50

Hi
An interesting first set of skirmishes with Sir Gino and Romeo Coolio being the only winners.
This means Hopefull, Andy, Joe and Mgame all pick up +15.73 from Sir Gino and Suds picks up +12.53 for Romeo Coolio.
The December competition now sees Mgame and JoeH in the lead both on +28.13 points I am in second on +23.15 Hopefull, Rob and Andy all have +15.73 with Suds on+12.53.
Obviously Mgame and JoeH both have two winners each whilst everyone else is on one.
In the overall competition Suds heads the field with +73.87 Rob is next on +73.17 and JoeH a close third with +69.44.
Also Suds has started the cash competition off with the £5 free bet well used on Romeo Coolio and now has a cash balance of +£9.50 which can now be split. Rob still has 2x £5 free bets to be used but has yet to place a competition bet.

Hi
Just a quick update before I go for my morning stroll…

12.58 The Dancen Kid 200-1 but we have gone 66-1 without Laurets Destruval & Starting Fifteen.
2.08 Miss Mini Bee currently 14-1 for 4 places with BOG attatched.

[Mike]

Hi
No worries I will be placing your £5 win bet @ 4-5 on Romeo Coolio in the 2.20 at Leopardstown. I will hang around to try and get BOG with it but unless you hear to the contrary it’s on.
Should Romeo Coolio win you can either carry on, split the bet or cash it in at anytime. If you continue the bets must be used as win bets on entries from your list of runners in the competition but can be used betting without the favourite/s etc.

Hi
I thought with my last selection being another non runner I had finished with this thread but it looks like I can throw in a couple of extra selections for Boxing Day just to see if I can go out with a bang.
Hamsiyaan is a loser for the thread at present but has gone on to win elsewhere so technically could still be a bet.
Little Ivy we have started to follow over hurdles but is back in a NHF race so is borderline.
This leaves us two definite wagers over at Limerick at the moment.
12.58 The Dancen Kid currently showing at 200-1
2.08 Miss Mini Bee currently 14-1 for 4 places
We will update once all the markets are published but the 14-1 for 4 in the 2.08 looks reasonable enough.

Hi
Unbelievably there are no runners in the competition this weekend and with no winners last week the competition standings remain as previously stated. Therefore the December competition remains wide open and if the weather holds we will have a bumper amount of runners from the “Boxing Day” meetings through to the end of the month. The second competition regarding the most profit made from the free bets is yet to kick off as both Rob and Suds are keeping there powder dry for the time being. But now we have opened it out a bit to betting without the favorites etc it might tempt someone in. ?
Best of luck to all those who are in the competition and here’s hoping you all have a great time over “Christmas”.
Stay “Healthy and Happy”
Regards Mike

Thurles 12.47 Salsinha @ 9-4
Thurles 1.22 Half A Chance W/O St Faz 7 Fiver Friday @ 9-2
Thulres 1.57 Top Coeur @ 9-4
Thurles 2.32 Zeus Power W/O Boedic @ 85-40
Thurles 3.05 William Tell @ 13-8
Ospreys +5 to beat Munster @ 10-11

Last week we pulled two bets in this week we hope to go one better the lottery numbers are the usual 4,7,16,23,26 and 50

Hi
I have had some contact/input from several of the Bletchley Park gang with regard to the odds (over rounds) being nearly unplayable on the horse bet builder markets and the logistics of merging so many opinions. I have to say that whilst I would have to agree with both points it will be sad to give this idea up totally.
With this in mind over the next few weeks I will look into re-naming the thread and so that I can start my 2026 ridiculous idea off in time for the new year but hopefully develop something new on this thread. ?

[Mike]

Hi
I did not see that upset coming as the 1-4 on shot Bambino Fever got turned over but theses things do happen. This leaves us with just the one more that I can see this week which is my entry Daydream Nation at Newbury on Wednesday. It would not effect the leader boards too much win lose or draw but it would be nice if one of us could get one.

[Mike]

Hi
Both Happy Me and Dream Shaper let me down and it does not look too much better for tomorrows selection which is taken from a new batch and looks more like potential handicap winner further down the line. However at 100-1 I am sure we can get some sort of bet on without the favorite/s etc (if he gets a run).
Naas 1.20 The Dancen Kid

[Mike]

Hi
Greatness Awaits didn’t trouble the judge today so its over to Bambino Fever tomorrow at Naas and if that one wins it will be a small but useful addititon to the points tally of Hopefull, Rob, APm and JoeH. With the fixtures being few and far between before x-mas this months competition will likely be decided between December 26-29th where are there are a wealth of fixtures and quite a few with some decent prize money attatched.
At present December stands at Mike +23.15 Rob +15.73 Mgame +12.4 JoeH +12.4
The overall competition standings see Rob +73.17 Suds +61.34 JoeH +53.71 Mike +48.25

[Mike]

Hi
Not much going on this weekend but Suds has Greatness Awaits in the 12.50 at Navan on Sunday.
Bambino Fever is declared on Monday and I will update the thread if this one runs.
