    Nice to see a decent amount of points coming in this week and looks like at the moment Tonge could just be our top points scorer with a massive 1580 points this week ahead of Graham with 1500. :good: Nathan and myself with 1300 points…it’s getting cosy at the top and more scores still to come. :good:

    Glad you’re enjoying ths comp and acruing some good points John and pleased to hear you have had the jab.

    1,540 points for me this week. 3,270 pts & 353 Rank.

    Not sure where my points all came from right now.

    Edit: I got 200pts for Dubai Icon in the bonus race and 1,340 from my stable horses.

    I also got caught out with Lazuli and, coincidently, also got my first Covid jab yesterday. Bit embarrassed really as I can think of hundreds of people and groups who need it more but they are really cracking on here (already on the over 55s) and I wasn’t going to turn it down! Bit of a sore arm today but otherwise no side effects.

    Yes I think it depends which area you are in for the vaccine dustrubution Tonge, we have had ours also at local surgery which were just doing vaccines 7 days a week whereas other friends had to travel to Colchester Football ground or Chelmsford racecourse.
    The achy stiff arm lasts a few days and then wears off.
    They have really pushed the boat out and hope that everyone will take it up, seems the only way out if these awful times.

    Tonge is our highest scorer this week with 1580 points and moving up to 5th position on the Leaderboard: :yahoo: Tonge managed to find 200 Bonus Points this week along with gaining a good clutch of points with Bright Start, Last Sunset, D’bai, Art Du Val, Summer Romance and Althiqa .. a popular selection on Thursday and those Group races made all the difference as far as points were concerned. :good:

    However, it’s congratulations to :yahoo: BIGG :yahoo: who takes over at the top of the Leaderboard this week with 1500 points this week scored he moves to 235th on the Godolphin Fantasy League Leaderboard with a grand total of 3780 points. Well done Graham and still 3 swaps left..things can only get better. :yes:
    Nathan now drops to second place with 3730 points with myself Triptych just behind him on 3640 points with Euroalien (Andre), Tonge and John Gooch hot on our tails.
    Mincamus made big strides this week to move up 517 places to be 501 on the Godolphin Leaderboard.
    Meanwhile Assassins, Steve, Nick and DG are going to have to start gaining more points each week as there is only one more Festival Thursday until Super Saturday and Dubai World Cup night.

    Well done to all who scored points this week and looking forward to a good high scoring week next Thursday. :good:

    Just one word before I go…
    LAZULI :wacko:
    Most of us got caught out this week including him in our Stables and then he decides to take a day off.
    Might be a good idea to put choices in on the day if you are able to avoid this happening again and check the Racing Post or local paper to confirm..wish I had..lol 🤣😅

    Here is the current leaderboard as at Friday 19th February 2021…

    Swapping Stables

    Looking through the Godolphin Leaderboard have noticed that some players aren’t making the best use of their swaps each week..

    All 10 horses can be swapped out each week and only count as 1 swap.

    Just one horse swapped out also counts as 1 swap.

    Best way to swap out horses is to press
    MANAGE STABLE
    Then one by one delete each horse in your stable that you wish to replace.
    Then go to list of horses and tick each one that you want to add on your new list (10) before pressing the confirm button. Double check your new selections and good luck.. :good: Jac

    Me too Graham..I will go in around midday tomorrow and hope they don’t pull one out just before the race. :wacko:

    Can’t believe just two Saturdays left after tomorrow it’s just flown by.

    Good luck everyone and watch out for non runners.. :bye: Jac

    Just done mine and noticed Royal Marine Non Runner in the 4.50.
    He wasn’t going to feature in my swaps this week but hoping I don’t regret leaving out
    Dream Castle. Feel certain Frankie would have been up and he has so many problems (bleeding last time)
    but if he wins I will be really happy for him.

    Apart from Master Of the Seas I think 4.15 VOLCANIC SKY Is my NAP today. :good:

    Good luck to everyone and I think it’s still going to be very close so Bonus Race will count and that is so hard I have them all to win just hoping for a few crumbs as I have no horses running in the first, all in the later races.

    Jac
    :bye:
