    Actually, I’ve just noticed that apart from Jack, we have 2 other new members who have
    joined our League. So a belated welcome to Jack McCarthy (Jack’s Stable) and Chris Brunton
    (big b’s snipers). Good luck to you both, and I hope you guys can keep making those transfers,
    and using your Star to get us all moving up that League Table :good:

    Good luck all for the coming week. :good:

    Will be interesting to see if the weather holds up this weekend. I was tempted to put in one at Navan today
    but risk of too much frost. I wanted to put Top Notch in but I’m not far from the Huntingdon area and heavy snow and ice forecast 2moro so didn’t risk that either.
    So relying on Sandown Aintree, and Punchestown tomorrow for my points. :-)

    I had the same thought about Top Notch…it gets cold over there in the Frozen East doesn’t it?

    Had planned to just dump my star on Douvan this weekend, job done, but it took a bit more thought!

    Mike and Green, I wish I had given some consideration to the weather at Huntingdon too, I stuck
    in Top Notch after changing my mind at the last minute. That’s looking like that wasn’t the smartest
    move :wacko:

    Thankfully Sandown goes ahead today, so at least I’ve got Fox Norton running today, probably along
    with 99.9 % of the competition mind you. I’m kind of top heavy with my selections this weekend,
    with most running tomorrow.

    Good luck :good:

    Well done to all with winners today :yahoo: although Fox Norton and Finian’s went down for me in the 10 to follow but I’m over the moon that Blaklion won and franked the form of Bristol De Mai. Good points for 2nd place in the Tingle Creek and still hanging on to 8th position at the moment.

    I also have Top Notch tomorrow and Shattered Love at Cork so hoping that will all go ahead.

    Haven’t had a chance to watch the races yet as been out Christmas Shopping, will catch up later.

    Good luck tomorrow and hope we can get a few more points for the League.. :rose: Jac

    Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

    Nice one Mike, keep it up

    The race was worth 21,525 euros Nathan, and that gets you 15 points. Had it been
    £21,525 you would have been in the next bracket up, and would have got 20 points.

    Race value Points
    Race worth £30,000/€33,500 or higher to winner 30
    Race worth £25,000 to £29,999 (€28,000 to €33,499) to winner 25
    Race worth £20,000 to £24,999 (€22,500 to €27,999) to winner 20
    Race worth £15,000 to £19,999 (€17,000 to €22,499) to winner 15
    Race worth £10,000 to £14,999 (€11,500 to €16,999) to winner 12
    Race worth less than £10,000/€11,499 to winner 10

    I blame it on Brexit :whistle:

    Thanks BigG
    I thought it might be due to prize money/Grade of race

    I’ve just noticed that although they have fixed the League Of Leagues scoring, that
    they still have to sort the Individual League scoring. Although Mike is shown as 18th,
    in actual fact he is joint 15th. Amazing stuff Mike, keep it up :good:

    I’m beginning to despair a little with ATR, I had to explain to them why their scoring
    system was wrong in the League of Leagues, and they have now rectified that. When I got
    their reply saying they had sorted it, I pointed out that there was still a problem in the
    Individual League. I’ve explained again that the problem, which is different from the problem
    they had in the League Of Leagues, has still not been resolved. Maybe they are working on it,
    if they get back to me again I’ll post their response. Sheesh :wacko:

    BigG do you think I am 18th instead of 15th because of the following rules?

    “Should there be a tie for any position, then the player with highest number of winners over the game will be deemed the winner.
    Should we still be tied at that point, the player that set up their stable the earliest receives the prize.”

    The 3 tied ahead of me have 1 more winner than me thus far. Just a thought. :unsure:

    I’ve looked at the top 130 on the leaderboard just to test that theory. When its tied its in winners order.

    Presumably if that is equal its in “earliest entry in” order? :mail:
