Hi
Blue Beirut did us proud today and actually finished fourth which was available at 75-1 but we only took a punt at 40-1 for 8 places so will have to settle for a +7 point profit on the day.
However I would gladly have settled for that at the start of the day and we will hope to build on that tomorrow with The Brimming Water who goes in the 3.50 at Fairyhouse tomorrow.
This one is currently available at 150-1 so we should get a decent price in the each way extra markets late tomorrow morning.

Hi Lynn
Thanks for that and yes your line had a cracking February and I will update the totals in the next few days. I will also add in my recommendations for any possible substitutions for all the members lines. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
We will try Blue Beirut today in the 12.30 at Ludlow this one is currently priced up at 250-1 but we will take the 40-1 on offer for 8 places with bet365.

[Mike]

HI
I will update the lines for the end of February as per usual at the end of this week.
However with Cheltenham fast approaching and some of our lines unfortunately having a few injured or non runners in the mix we will have the opportunity to substitute two horses from each line.
Should you have a preference as to which horse you would like included in your individual line please let me know by the 1st of March otherwise I will automatically update them at the start of next week.. 🙂

Hi All
Just as an update on your lines JoeH has 4 going this weekend which are
Diol Ker 12.47 at Limerick and Santini in the King George both on Boxing Day. Followed by Altior in the 2.30 at Kempton on the 27th and Saint Roi in the 2.25 at Leopardstown on the 29th.

Bluerose has 5 going which are
The Big Breakaway in the 1.50 Epatante in the 2.25 and Lostintranslation in the 3.00 all at Kempton on Boxing Day. Ballyadam goes in the 1.45 at Leopardstown on the 27th and Minella Indo runs in the 2.25 at Leopardstown on the 28th.

This leaves GeeSport who has 6 declared although two are in the same race.
A Wave Of The Sea goes in the 2.50 at Leopardstown and both Cyrname and Clan Des Obeaux who go in the King George at Kempton on Boxing day. On the 27th both Shiskin in the 1.20 and Altior in the 2.30 both go at Kempton with Ballyadam going in the 1.45 at Leopardstown. Finally Abracadabras is declared in the 2.25 on the 29th in the 2.25 at Leopardstown.

Best of luck to all those with entries and a Happy Christmas to all members. 🙂

Hi
Since the last update we have had a mixed bag of results including some nice winners such as Appreciate It,Thyme Hill and Epatante.
Today we have three of the big guns coming out over at Fairyhouse which include Ballyadam,Envoi Allen and Honeysuckle and it would be nice to see a few winners there.
There is a possibility of another competition runner on Monday and I will update the lines next week with the points totals for November.

[Mike]

Hi
Not quite the start we were looking for but at least five of the six lines managed to get off the mark with Abracadabras 28.42 points, The Big Breakaway 12.4 points and Saint Roi with 1.10 points.
Most of our selections will end up running in the big races on the weekends and I will attempt to update the thread every so often. Should you wish to be notified when the entries run, just post your entries into one of the many free horse trackers such as http://www.irishracing.com/horsetracker

Hi
The lines have been entered and are as listed below but were subject to some of the original listed options not being available or being out for the season. I have made up the remainder of the lines and should the line where you have selected the base five selections win you will be eligible for 40% of any prize money won and will also be eligible for 10% of any winnings from any of the other lines.
This should keep the interest going through to the end of the season. 🙂

Hi
I hope that example from last seasons bets will give you an idea of the possibilities and last season we had two 100-1 winners from thirty bets so obviously had a brilliant run ending up with a +170 point profit.

[Mike]

Hi
Just to say that due to the current lockdown it looks as though the competition will come to a premature end but such is life. We did not win anything this time around and although reaching a decent position (as mentioned in the previous post) we will probably end the competition with our best line being ranked at around 484 which is still not to shoddy considering the 58,845 entries.
I hope this has given you an idea of how this works and hopefully we will get a few more joining in next years competition. 🙂
