    Well done to Greenasgrass & Tracey for finding Home by the Lee! Even better that you got 40/1 Tracey. :yahoo: The race for the cakes is heating up! It’s all to play for at the top of the table….. While some of us are battling to stay out of last place!

    To be fair if you look at my Ante Post challenge for Cheltenham, GAG picked it weeks ago and probably backed it too.

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

    Wow what terrific scores today on what looked and was a really tricky day. Congrats to greenasgrass for scoring 88 points and to Tracey and green for picking Home By The Lee 33/1 and Tracey getting 40’s, at least her and green’s bookie got a bashing.

    I’m really looking over my shoulder now as both Silent Assassin and Dessie73 creep up on me so will have to pull something out of the hat tomorrow.

    Not overthinking my choices like I did today, going with my heart and see what happens.

    Looking out for those ‘cling ons’ Rummy disguised as Wellington Boots :wacko: Jac :

    Best of luck. Jac! If I can’t win it, I would like you to win it. You’re a good person. BTW having a profitable Cheltenham this year. Heart Wood is another winner for me.

    After today’s poor efforts at backing horses that might at least get somewhere near the front of the field proved to be massively beyond me I feel I need a new system :cry: :cry:

    Tomorrow is Friday the 13th which doesn’t bode well for an improvement in fortunes but I feel obliged to try :yahoo: :yahoo:

    Good luck everyone and remember to enjoy it :yahoo: :yahoo:

    I will pick my horses in the morning :good:

    At this point may I say that at no point did I say that anyone on this forum was fat with the possible exception of myself.

    Also in the current woke climate if anyone feels that I have offended them in anyway apart from Jac implying that Nathan might be a burglar of computer equipment and Gladiateur hinting that I had called someone fat then please accept my humblest apologies…… and on that note I am off to bed but first I am just going to listen to The Eagles singing Take It To The Limit
