    Just a reminder that the Godolphin Fantasy League team competition continues on..

    Saturday 6th March
    FIRST RACE 12.00 MID-DAY

    So get your swaps in as early as you can and at least an hour before the first race.

    Don’t forget to check for non-runners before you press confirm selections

    There are 7 races 5 of which have Godolphin runners .. I have counted 12 runners in those 5 races so it’s going to be tactical. You can swap out all of your 10 horses and replace them with 10 of the 12 runners on Saturday.

    There is …
    1 Listed Race
    2 x Group 1’s one on dirt and one on turf
    1 x Group 2 on Turf and …
    3 x Group 3’s two run on dirt and one on turf.

    Best of luck in the last Saturday before Dubai World Cup Final night
    on.
    Saturday 27th March 2021

    When the winner of our competition will be crowned King or Queen of the Desert.

    Good luck :good:

    Hello to everyone

    Just about to try and make sense of the races at Meydan on Saturday
    and the Godolphin website have put up a Bonus Race. Link below.

    https://www.godolphin.com/runners-and-results/racecard/779277

    Should be a good card to try and solve.

    All the best
    John :good:

    Two winners for Godolphin on Super Saturday when Walton Street won the first from Dubai Future, Desert Fire and Brilliant Light.
    That race happened to be the Bonus Race
    and the horses came home pretty much as expected.
    I thought Dubai Warrior would spoil the Godolphin 1234 but he ran a very flat race and never got going.

    The filly Final Song won the last race with Frankie Dettori on board, her best effort at the Festival by far.

    Hope you all managed to score some bonus points and get plenty of points today.

    Somehow I managed 600 Bonus Points placing Walton Street, Dubai Future and Brilliant Light 1st, 2nd and 4th.
    Ended the day with
    2100 .. Points
    91st Position
    7450 points in total

    Look forward to hearing how you all got on today and updating the Leaderboard. Jac :bye:

    3 weeks break now until Dubai World Cup night and the Final of the Godolphin Fantasy League Competition.

    Well done Jac, I thought the Bonus race might be crucial today and
    that’s how it’s worked out. Inside the top 100 now Jac, and still
    with a swap for the final in 3 weeks, going great guns :good:

    Only 200 bonus points for me today, I feel I’ve missed a bit of a
    trick there :scratch:

    1,700 Points today
    7,190 Points total
    Position 120
    1 Swap left

    Your’re still well on track Graham in position 120 with 7190 points that’s 0a great score, the final Saturday is going to be very exciting.

    I sat for ages deliberating that Bonus Race and was going to do exactly what you did and put Walton Street and Dubai Future both to win. Then I thought well I can’t see Walton Street being beaten so surely DF must come 2nd getting the 4th horse was just pure luck.

    Changing track regarding the current top of the Leaderboards in the Godolphin competition. A lot of them must have used all their swaps as notice that a few already have Space Blues in place and a few others for Finals night. So good chances of moving up the Leaderboard significantly on the last day.

    Still all to play for if you still have 1 swap in the bag.
    :good:

    Hello to everyone

    After the racing on Saturday Afternoon I scored 1700 Points including 200 Bonus Points
    bringing my total to 6110 and my position to 274.

    Not quite good enough to get to the top, but still with one swap left for the big night
    and another Bonus Race it could end up a close call.

    The Flat season is on the horizon and of course Cheltenham is almost here so there is much
    to be optimistic about on the racing scene.

    All the best and stay well
    John :bye:

    Thanks everyone some great moves up the Leaderboard and congratulations to Silent Assassins for scoring a full set of 800 Bonus Points
    So crucial in this Saturdays competition.

    Will update the Leaderboard later tonight and hope to hear from Steve75 and nickwalton who didn’t check in last week.

    I really enjoyed the racing at Meydan yesterday in particular Walton Street and Final Song winning but the star of the show for me was Lord Glitters, next stop Dubai Turf, is there a Godolphin horse to beat him?

    Well done to all and thanks for getting those scores in so quickly.

    Jac
    :bye:
