Wow Jac, you must have been at your best sweet talking Anna into that
prize, very well done
It was very nice of her Graham.
Anna was away when I emailed her with the suggestion but on her return she was straight back saying she would send one off for us.I was given one on my visit last month and that put the idea in my head..now just need a few of my horses to win or place it seems that the changing season will see some new kids on the block coming forward so worth waiting a while now and I only have 2 swaps left
.

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...With a disastrous swap last week I am dropping down the table to 403rd position with 6150 points. Not one win or place and only have 2 swaps left so just sitting tight for a while I think.
Winners at York
Yibir
Real World
Space BluesLook forward to hearing how you all got on…and still no Bonus Race.
Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Hello hope everyone is well and staying safe.
Last week gave me two winners Yibir and one of my favourite
horses Space Blues. The ground just went against him at Goodwood
but he looked back to form on Saturday.800 Points means I now have 6340 Points and a rank of 371, which I think
is the best score I have ever achieved.A few Bonus Races would give me a chance to improve my position.
Still have 3 swaps left and the Doncaster St Ledger meeting would
seem to be an ideal time for another change.Would love to win the prize of the book offered by Jac.
Anyway all the best to everyone
I had Space Blues & Real World. Now on 7070 points (265th). Also got 3 swaps and, like John, considering the Leger meeting, although the various Arc trials in France are worth keeping an eye on too.
Lack of bonus race is irritating. I wish they’d at least remove the Superlative Stakes as it’s just rubbing it in!
Just one winner for me Jac – 400 pts from Space Blues. 5,300 pts, 568th, with still 4 swaps left. I’m still struggling to decide when to use my swaps.
I was lucky enough to have both Real World and Space Blues
Points 6440
Position 358
3 SwapsPoints 6890 position 295 for me jac after Yibir and Space Blues winning only 1 swop left though keeping for last ditch effort really enjoying this componthanx for doing it
Well done to all scoring those points and Silent Assassins just one swap left.. make sure you put all the top scorers in for the last hurrah.
It’s actually only about 8/9 weeks until the end of the comp and I’ll be hanging onto my 2 swaps hoping some of them will venture out again and run better races.
Good luck winning the Stallion Brochure
John and everyone , I will update Leaderboard tonight.Anna if you’re reading this.. give us some more Bonus Races
please and stop reminding Tonge that the last one was July 10th

Well done to all gaining points a moving up the Leaderboard this week.
Just waiting for Steve’s update now.
I don’t know if it’s just me but this years comp seems so much harder to keep tabs on the horses and Group races.
Sometimes a declaration appears from the Blue so to speak and you can finď yourself short of a few hundred points…best of luck and still plenty of time with approx 8 weeks remaining…Jac Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Thanks guys..
That’s a great score Min.Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...A nice score (finally) for me this week after a swap. 1,320 points.
Stunning Beauty (IRE) – 40 pts, Baladi (USA) – 80 pts, Benbatl (GB) – pts, Essential Quality (USA) – 500 pts & Lake Avenue (USA) – 400 pts. I’m not at 6,620 pts and 396th. 3 Swaps Remain.
Made an early swap in time to get Essential Quality. Also 200 points for Sublimis yesterday (even though he was only 3rd of 5). Now on 7770 – 235th. Just hope I’ve picked the right ones for the Leger & Irish champion meetings!
Hello to everybody
Having spent a little time reading the news section on the
Godolphin website I decided to use one of my swaps leaving
me with 2 to go.The result was that my score for last week was 1,200, moving
the season total to 7,540 and a rank of 271.Once again the star was Essential Quality who looks to be almost
the perfect racehorse, only doing what he needs too do.I would not pretend to be clued up on racing in the USA but the
Breeders Cup seems to be his target and this meeting just qualifies
for the Godolphin competition which ends on Saturday November 6th 2021.Between now and then Adayar and Hurricane Lane have the chance to show
how good they are over here in Europe. Who is the best Godolphin 3-Y-O
colt? is a difficult question to answer at this stage.Once again although the score in our own league is not the end of the world
I have to admit too enjoying the interest it generates.Stay safe and keep well
Well done Andre, Tonge and John with your swaps…I was so tempted to dive in with Essential Quality and Sublimis but sat on my hands and will probably make some changes this weekend or the next.
Will update the Leaderboard tomorrow or Wednesday to give the others a chance to update..
My score still remains at…
6150 .. 479th
