    You’re welcome Cork, It was a great race and a great 50/1 win for you :yahoo:
    Jac just landed a day that was a bit of a nightmare. I’ll need to take
    my “Horlicks” tonight to get off 2 sleep. Maybe make that a double
    “Horlicks”, of the Speyside veriety. B-)

    Hopefully it will be a quieter day tomorrow Graham and also hope that you enjoyed the racing it was a very exciting day.

    Should have the scores up for today in a couple of hours, have to cook the dinner now but I’ll save cracking open that bottle of ‘spanking’ wine until I”ve posted them up. The 2 day leaderboard will follow later tonight I’m hoping all will be ok.. :good: Jac

    Jac

    I was caught out by the rules.

    Didn’t make a jot of difference though since Frero Banbou was my reserve anyway so still counts!

    I think we were all caught out by the rules rob, I was completely stumped on that one until I actually read them…lol. That’s a def yellow card from Nathan when he comes home from the races. :wacko:
    Good luck tomorrow. :good: Jac

    @sportingsam

    Sam noticed you played for the first time today and I only noticed when it was too late that you hadn’t chosen two horses in one of the races, which gives you an extra chance to score points.
    You hit the bar a bit today with most of your reserves coming home so better luck tomorrow…Jac :good:

    Well done everyone some great scores up there and all to play for as by some fluke of nature I have managed to
    take the lead by just 5 points from Cork breathing down my neck closely followed by Aaronizneez and Gladiateur. :yahoo:

    For Graham’s info just in case you are going to do this in columns Graham like Nathan usually does I have highlighted players who have just played on individual days so far. :good:

    Over to you Graham my pen has run out of ink and half a dozen trees are groaning from all the paper I have used up today….off to finally open that bottle of vino and study up for tomorrow.

    Best of luck for the next two days and please check your scores for any mistakes and let me know…Jac :bye:

    Thanks Illavim I will and I am, which means I’m going to have to leave choosing my runners until the morning :wacko:
    I really hope the rain keeps away tomorrow for Graham’s sake. :rose:

    One thing today did highlight though is the importance of putting in a reserve or two and in my case a next best option for my nap I never dreamed Bravemansgame would be withdrawn at the last minute but that rain was relentless and his welfare is more important than my two bob. :good:

    Good luck tomorrow Illavim and all..Jac :bye:
