    Glad it worked out ok Nathan, we did have some problems at the start,
    as you know, but hopefully it’s run well enough since :good:

    Week 11 transfers to be in by 9pm tomorrow, Friday 20/01/17. There are 2 bonus
    races this week, the Coral.ie Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday and the Thyestes
    Chase at Gowran Park on Thursday. Good luck if you’ve got one running in one or
    both of these.

    I should be keeping a running tally of the balls ups I’ve had in this competition,
    my latest being last week when I transferred in Crack Mome (that didn’t go too well)
    and transferred out Garde La Victoire. That’s what I thought I had done, only to
    check in this week and find Garde La Victoire was still there. I’ve somehow clicked
    on Un De Sceaux and ejected him instead, which means I just ejected the only horse
    in my stable that had an engagement this week :wacko:
    I could transfer him back in, he’s got a very good chance of winning the Clarence
    house on Saturday, but it means I couldn’t pick one running in either of the bonus
    races. Anyway, that’s my moan over for this week, I’m sure there will be plenty more
    in coming weeks :scratch:

    I’ll update the league positions tomorrow in the Racing Competitions forum, in the Stable
    Stars thread, after racing is finished.

    Weekly reminder to have your transfers for week 12 in before 9pm Friday 27/01/17.
    The Bonus Race this week is the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown
    on Sunday. Is Faugheen back to his best :unsure: if he is he surely
    takes this, but if he’s slightly short then Petit Mouchoir will give
    him a run for his money. Nichols Canyon may have been beaten by PM
    last time, but I’m not convinced that NC wouldn’t reverse that form,
    for my money he would, I think he’s better than that run.

    It’s a cracking race, but there is a brilliant weekend of racing at
    Cheltenham and Doncaster. I’m still kicking myself for mistakenly
    removing UN De Sceaux instead of Garde La Victoire, he looks to have
    the Clarence House at his mercy. I know I can stick him back in, but
    I’d love to have him in and pick another with him, there are a few that
    look nailed on over this weekend. I think this will be a high scoring
    weekend, and we could see some shuffling in the league.

    Good luck all, I’ll post this week’s update on the league in the Racing
    Competitions Forum in the Stable Stars thread after racing on Friday.

    Wow Ted !!! that’s amazing :yahoo:
    Believe it or not I actually led the competition after the first
    month last year, I obviously peaked too early and unfortunately the first
    month was the only one without a prize as it was a week short :-(
    How are you both doing this year. Incidentally I do all the updating
    and reminders for the Stable Stars in the Competitions Forum now, I
    used this forum for a while too just to get things up and running.
    Good luck to both of you this year :good:
