    Hi Jac, my update is that I now have 8440 points and I’m in position 237.
    I have used all my swaps, most running (hopefully) at the Breeders Cup
    and a couple in the Melbourne Cup.

    I still have the 1 replacement swap to make for poor Line Of Duty, I’ll hold
    onto that for now.

    I think Ispolini is in with a real shout in the Melbourne Cup Jac, and I’m
    expecting them to have a bonus in the melbourne Cup as that is the end of
    the competition so I think you may well be adding to your tally.

    Good luck all at the BC and MC :good:

    Thanks Graham and good luck with those final swaps. :good: I’ll have to get out the Crystal Ball for the bonus races to try and keep my place. B-)

    Looking forward to seeing some Godolphin horses at Newmarket this weekend..looks like it’s going to be another wet one but should all go ahead at HQ. :rose: Jac

    I’m on 6590 (448th) after the weekend. Don’t bother updating though as it makes no difference!

    I know Nathan can’t believe he’s gone, it’s been the worst season I can remember for the saddest of losses both flat and NH.

    Best of luck with Old Persian he has a great chance.

    Hello to all of you

    Good news for anyone looking to boost their score.

    The website is showing another Bonus Race for this Saturday November 2nd 2019

    I have an idea this may be the last chance.

    Thanks :bye:

    Thanks for that John, I’ve just checked and it looks like they have pushed the boat
    out, and after no bonus race for what seems like an age, they have doubled up with 2 :yahoo:
    Comical Ghost in the Damascas Stakes and Final Frontier in the Breeders’ Cup Turf
    Sprint.

    Better late than never :good:

    All or nothing with these guys. They have sneaked out several additional bonus races – Breeders’ Cup Turf, Mares Turf & Mile. Only spotted while I was making my last swap. No email yet.

    Good luck everyone!

    My final total = 6910 – 399th

    hopefully they will run the World Cup one again, though this one was such a half-hearted attempt, that I won’t be holding my breath.

    Well the Breeders Cup and Melbourne Cup were a bit of a whitewash for Godolphin. I thought
    I would have boosted myself quite a bit keeping that final change to include just about
    all their runners at both meetings, but I’m still the same as before them.

    Final Total 8440 points and Position 235.

    I agree Tonge, I think they needed a couple of proddings to keep things going. Hopefully
    they show some improvement next time.

    Hello to everyone

    I have to agree with the views expressed by both Tonge and BigG.

    My final position was Points 7470 Rank 342.

    Never the less I have enjoyed playing against people who clearly know
    and understand what these kind of competitions are all about.

    Thanks once again :good:

    Well done Graham, Tonge and John for staying the course it did get very frustrating in places but I have enjoyed playing along with you guys and as always we have had a good old stab at getting into the top 100 players but it was made an almost impossible task by the ‘organisers’ :wacko:

    I’ve ended up with 8310 points – 248th place.
    Had no swaps for the last month and what was left of my horses didn’t place or like Ispolini were withdrawn.

    Looking forward to Meydan now leading up to the World cup but afraid they definitely need to pull out all the stops and make the competition more involved with the players :good:

    :rose:

    Will update the Final Leaderboard later, just waiting for Raymo and Nathan’s final scores but looks like BigG has done it again B-) :good:

    Godolphin Fantasy League – Team
    TRF WINNER 2019 BIGG :yahoo:

    Well done Graham for winning this yet again with your Fantasy Godolphin Stable. :yahoo:
    I did pass you once of twice but ran out of swaps and the last 5 weeks I was running on empty :mail:

    I think we all struggled this time as the competition was so hit and miss with sparse amounts of Bonus races popping up just a few hours before a race you had to be eagle eyed to spot them and retired horses were left in play when a substitute could have been out there earning you extra points.
    Let’s hope they get it together for the World Cup and hope nwalton will come back and join us in some friendly banter to find the winners in magical Meydan :rose:

    Anyway enough waffle from me it’s time to crown our Champion TRF Fantasy League Team Player…If you PM me your address Graham I have a small prize to send you. :good:

    Raymo I presumed your score remained the same but I can change it if you post later in week.. :good:

    Cheers Jac, I’ve just logged on having been legging it down south most of
    the day to visit my son and his wife in Oxford, I could swear that bleedin
    M6 seems to be getting longer each time, especially in the wet :wacko:

    It was a toss of the coin between the pair of us at the end Jac, and I fell
    over the line more by luck than design :whistle:

    Thanks for running this one again Jac and keeping our spirits up, when it seemed
    the boys in blue were doing there best to dampen them. I hope they have got the
    knack of things now before the next one comes up. Despite the problems I’ve thoroughly
    enjoyed the competition, and there’s no doubt it gave the flat an extra edge for me,
    jumps man as I am.

    Can I also say that I enjoyed the craic with Tonge Nathan Raymo and John too, I hope we
    can keep up our merry band, and maybe even encourage a few others to throw their hats into
    the ring on the next one :good:

    Finally, it’s very kind of you to offer a prize Jac, there is no need, but I’ll contact you on
    a PM :good:
