    Sorry John I missed off the main event. :wacko: Many thanks Graham for putting me right. :good: Jac
    I’ll add that date now :good:

    Iike you I was going to wait until next week before making my first swop as I only had Soft Whisper in my stable but looking down the card I got a feeling of being let loose in a sweetshop and swapped some more of my horses. :wacko:

    Good luck with them Jac, very good chances of a 1,2,3 in the Group 2
    and Soft Whisper has got to have a fav’s chance in the listed UAE
    1000 Guineas race :good:

    Thanks Graham :good:
    Fingers well and truly crossed.
    I just couldn’t keep away from that Manage Stables button. :wacko: lol..no willpower whatsoever.
    Really like Soft Whisper in the 10000 Guineas.

    One hour to go before first race so all Bonus Race predictions should be in by now..good luck today. Jac :bye:

    Managed to get 810 points today..

    Star Safari 3rd ……..80
    Dubai Mirage 2nd …… 80
    Althiqa 1st …….. 400
    Soft Whisper 1st… 250

    Bonus Race .. Nil Points just missed out on Dubai Mirage. :wacko:

    2100 Points
    187th

    Godolphin seem to have got their act together this week and updated the points quickly after each race :good:

    Look forward to receiving your results to update the Leaderboard within the next couple of days. :good:

    You just need to give your
    Points and Position

    Any other information entirely up to you but would love to know how you got on in the Bonus Race.. Jac :bye:

    A decent enough return for the week after using a swap 930 pts – zero in the bonus race this week.

    Althiqa 400
    Dubai Love 200
    Soft Whisper 250
    Star Safari 80

    After two weeks I’ve scored 1,570 pts – ranked 333

    Will have to use the swaps sparingly over the next couple of weeks though.

    Hello to everyone

    Only one unplaced runner this week so Points stay the same 1350 Rank 435.

    Jac, your advce about the Bonus Race may well have much in its favour.
    The horse who won Bedouin’s Story, I forecast to finish 2nd. So trying
    to decide where they finish is more difficult than going for a Godolphin
    victory and earning 200 Points.

    Still have 5 swaps left so still all to play for.

    All the best :good: :good:

    No runners and no bonus points for me so remain on 1040 points, but have dropped to 713th. Some good scores this week. Perhaps I should have used that swap!

    I didn’t make any changes this week and had no horses running, but I was
    fortunate enough to have Bedouins Story down for 1st place in the bonus
    race so I’m on 1400 Points and in position 408. Well done with your 810
    Points Jac, that puts you at the top of the tree I reckon :good:

    Not sure Graham but would be nice to enjoy the view from the top for at least one week… :good:

    Many thanks for posting all your points and positions and I will update the leaderboard sometime around midnight tonight hopefully.

    Quite a difference with scores this week between those that used one of their swaps and those that are hanging onto theirs for the weeks to come, so the Leaderboard will be up and down which means that anything can happen week after week.

    @John
    Yes it is a good idea to put more than one horse down to win in the Bonus Races providing a Godolphin horse actually wins it, otherwise you might sacrifice a gaining points. I had Dubai Mirage and Key Victory as winners and Bedouin’s Story to place about 8th with Dubai Legacy 10th. I was actually right that Dubai Legacy would come in last of the 4 horses but he placed 14th..a miracle if any forecast that placing.
    Anyway best of luck next week. I’m probably going to need a Bonus Race as I will hang onto my swaps I think.

    Andre (Euroalien) that was a good few points you raked up their this week, quite similar to mine apart from you were shrewd enough to add Dubai Love where I went for Summer Romance and Stunning Beauty.

    Look forward to seeing more points and placings coming in before midnight but will start updating the Leaderboard anyway and late comers can be added.

    Thanks for playing and hope you are enjoying the competition.

    :rose:

    Just a question to Mincamus
    Did you only swap in the one horse Soft Whisper or did the rest of your swap not come anywhere?
    There were 19 Godolphin horses yesterday so it is possible.

    Or by first swap did you mean your original stable choices.
    I think now that’s what you meant. :good:

    When you make a swap it means you can change all
    10 of your horses in the same week…that counts as 1 Swap.

    I find myself top of the Leaderboard this week unless Nick(nwalton)or Steve have scored big points this week. :yahoo:

    Well done to everyone who got points this week and to Graham for getting 200 Bonus Points in a week where he didn’t use his swap and still manages to be in 3rd place behind Andre (Euroalien) 2nd with top points score this week of 930 points. :good:
    Well done Andre.

    Sure the Leaderboard will change again next week when the swaps kick in so those of us who have used a swap will have to hope there is another Bonus Race. :good:

    Hi Triptych, I brought in High End, Summer Romance and Key Victory with my swap as well but none of them won any points.
