    Peter you can still enter. You will just lose 10% of any points you get

    Jac, so well done napping Caldwell Potter. I can’t believe I
    missed him out after us both raving about him earlier in the
    season. There was always going to be a big race in him and this
    was it. Superb napping Jack, you just knew his name was on it :yahoo:

    Well I got the f/c in the 2.40, unfortunately the wrong way round with
    Doddie as my reserve. It’s going to be one of those days :scratch:

    Thanks Graham :good: I was actually half watching the race after each jump and and watching the replay he reminded me so much of One Man :heart:

    Thanks to the Raymos for keeping us all updated. That was the Nap I really wanted to get home as he is in your TTF comp Graham but sadly not in Bobby’s.

    Well done to Illavim who also Napped him.👏👏.Hoping for a good 3rd day for us all.

    Lastly thoughts to all connections of Springwell Bay who lost his life in that race.😪 it’s certainly a game of highs and lows. I think he was the first casualty of the Meeting. Please look after the rest and bring them and their jockeys home safely.:rose: Jac

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

    Great nap Jac & Illavim. It’s always so rewarding to get one of those to come in!

    So sad to hear about Springwell Bay :cry: My heart goes out to the connections and especially the stable staff who care for him every day. Heartbreaking Hopefully all the other runners get home safely.

    Oh Jac, I didn’t even know about Springwell Bay, he was the one I picked
    out. This is turning into a dies horribilis for me today.

    At last got a winner, managed a place or two as well. :good:

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.
