    160 Points for Final Song yesterday which leaves me on 1560 Points
    and in position 427. Still not touched my swaps yet.
    Well done to all getting points and congrats to Nathan who I think
    may well be top of the tree, but still some scores to come.

    Thanks for your scores Graham and well done with scoring points with Final Song.

    Again 1560 is a decent score with no swaps used, we’re going to have to look out for you once yourself, Andre (Euroalien) and John on the scoreboard once you have a change of Stables..so close.

    If I hadnt swapped last week I would have been on 1620 this week just a couple of places ahead of John..my swap week gained me 560 points, which is average really with no Bonus Points won in the 2nd week of play and none offered this week..so have to be careful with my choices.
    Noticed that in the main Godolphin competition the leaders have already used at least 2 swaps.

    I think you might be right that Nathan will be top of the Leaderboard again this week with just Nick and Diamond Geezer to check in with their points and Rankings. :good:

    On a cold snowy day in the UK we’re off to the hot balmy climes of the desert again where Meydan kicks off again this afternoon with just 5 races off which 4 will score points.

    There is one Group 2 contest with 2 Godolphin runners one of which is the well fancied Zakouski but he still has to be looking over his shoulder for a late run from the flashy grey Lord Glitters.
    Max of 700 points on offer here for 1st and 2nd place.

    The rest of the card is a bit mediocre really with 2 Handicaps and a Conditions race offering a further 720 points on offer if all Godolphin horses gain places.

    So a Maximum of 1420 points on offer today if all places filled by Godolphin horses and there is no Bonus Race.

    Star Safari and Zakouski are my choices today although I only have Star Safari and Final Thought in my stable, the latter around 22/1 so fingers crossed for that one.

    No sign of a Bonus Race yet but knowing Godolphin wouldn’t rule it out yet.
    :whistle:

    :mail: Good luck with your choices today if you play. :mail:

    Hello to everyone

    Like you Jac I keep looking for a Bonus Race to be annouced,
    but so far no good news.

    I have decided to use my first swap and have hopes of more Points
    to improve my position.

    Thanks to Jac for her information on this Competition, which does
    help, so in many ways the score is not the most important thing but
    the interest in something else to take our minds off being in lockdown.

    Many Thanks :bye:

    I was going to use my first swap for Zakouski and Dream Castle but turns out they’re already in my stable. Star Safari will probably win but not worth wasting a swap just for him. Lack of bonus race continues to disappoint (particularly as they leave the one from 28th Jan up to taunt us!). Good luck all.

    Tonge, if you haven’t used a swap yet, then you’ve got to load your stable up
    with as many runners as you can today. Including today there are only 5 racing
    days left in the competition, so you have a swap left for every race day. If
    you don’t use your swap today you will have 5 swaps left and only 4 race days
    to use them. Keep Zakouski and Dream Castle but pick another 8 horses for your
    stable. Good luck :good:

    Thanks Big G. You can use 2 swaps on the same day so I’m going to save 2 for the finale. You have to time it right as they need to be made 40 mins before the race but could work out well…or not!

    Well done BigG to the rescue.
    :heart:
    Yes get as many horses in as you can Tonge as you can swap swap swap from now on.. :good:
    Shame you missed out on Star Safari but only 120 points lost the 400 for Zakouski much better. :good:

    Best of luck..Jac :good:
