    Hello to everybody

    The good start I made seems to have been lost with no Points being added this week
    so still on 760 Points but now down to Rank 986. My only runner this week was Victor Ludorum
    at Longchamp today.

    Still inclined to wait for Royal Ascot before making a swap. What as happened to Bonus Races?

    The news of Master Of The Seas looks to be brighter see below:

    Many Thanks :bye:

    Victor Ludorum was very disappointing for his followers this afternoon. Didn’t have the best of starts and never quickened to look anywhere near making a challenge. With The Revenant a non runner he looked nailed on for place points at least but ended up 5th in the end.

    I was deliberating until early this morning between Victor Ludorum, Sky Angel and Alpen Rose and in the end went for Sky Angel in the German 1000 Guineas who duly came second and earned me 300 points. Now have
    1320 points and 367th :good:
    Alpen Rose also ran 2nd in her Group 2 against the colts and also scored 300 points if anyone has her.

    Thanks for the good news on Master Of The Seas John. :mail:
    I think I will have swapped him out and back in again by September 1st when he goes to France but glad he’s ok. :good:
    Keep hunting out those Bonus Races

    Thanks for being so observant John and spotting the Bonus Race. :unsure:

    No Godolphin horses at Epsom tomorrow, they have been few and far between this week.

    Fingers crossed for Hurricane Lane, One Ruler and Adayar in the Derby on Saturday. :good:

    Meanwhile I’ll highlight tbe Bonus Race thanks again
    John and good luck. :good: Jac

    Unlike my Derby competition :cry: I managed to get some points from Lake Avenue
    who was 2nd in a Grade 3 race at Belmont Park tonight, so 200 Points moves me up
    to 487. I’ve got 3 running tomorrow, One Ruler and Adayar in the Derby and Essential
    Quality in a Grade 1 over in the US at Belmont Park.

    Total Points 1240
    Position 487
    5 Swaps remaining

    Well done Graham a few nice moves up the Leaderboard and good luck with your 3 tomorrow. :good:

    I only have One Ruler running in the Derby and I don’t think he will win it.
    Maybe in the first 6 somewhere.

    I gained 300 points for Sky Angel in Germany last Sunday and now on
    1320 Points .. 409th (and sinking.. lol)

    Will updated the Leaderboard on
    Monday..it has been very quiet.

    Bonus Race – Derby
    Hurricane Lane
    One Ruler
    Adayar

    Where will they finish?..200 Points for each correct answer..simple. :wacko:

    I agree Jac, I’m not over hopeful about either of my Derby horses adding
    to my tally, I think I’ve got a chance of a some points with Essential
    Quality. If he hadn’t given away about a 1/2f going the widest way round
    he would have probably won the Kentucky derby. Instead he was closing with
    every stride and finished 4th (nil points) just over 1L behind the winner.
    I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t win the last leg of the Triple Crown,
    the Belmont Stakes.

    :good: Best Of Luck today Graham :good: I’ll be looking out for Essential Quality today.

    Hope I’m wrong about One Ruler and the other Godolphin horses it’s just that I don’t think there is a Masar amongst them this year. Jac

    Tricky old Bonus Race to work out. :scratch:

    Bonus race is certainly tricky (though given I rarely manage any points from more straightforward ones, I suppose it makes no difference!). I have One Ruler, Adayar & Hurricane Lane today. I hope at least one of them can nab a place. Good luck with Essential Quality BigG.

    Wow…a fairy story of a different kind.
    Adam Kirby jocked off John Leeper powers home to win what a great result and well done Tonge some nice points there and Graham with Adayer.

    I thought in the 1 draw he would make the pace and drop away. I placed him
    12th in the competition. Oooops lol.

    Luckily I actually placed Hurricane Lane 3rd and One Ruler 6th so 400 Bonus Points thank goodness.

    Well done Godolphin :yahoo:
    Charlie Appleby
    Adam Kirby and ADAYAR :rose:

    Hope you all managed some Bonus points today to add to your scores..will update on Monday… Jac

    Well done on your bonus points Jac. I had Adayar 6th, One Ruler 3rd & Hurricane Lane 2nd! I didn’t think Adayar would handle Epsom (and was put off backing him for that reason even though I thought the 40-1 this morning was crazy). Happy to have been wrong!

    Well done Jac with the bonus points, 2 correct is some going :good: :good:
    I had Hurricane Lane and One Ruler the other way round to you :wacko:
    I can’t complain with 660 points for Adayar and hopefully Essential
    Quality can win the Belmont Stakes later :good:

    Hello to every one

    Will update my score and rank after the Belmont Stakes tonight.

    So far this afternoon I have scored 900 Points.

    Adayar first in the Derby and correct places in the Bonus Race
    with Hurricane Lane and One Ruler. I have to say that I did not
    expect this result and at the moment admit to feeling slighty confused.
    I was hoping for a better performance from Bolshoi Ballet. Aidan O’Brien
    remains something of a difficult man to read.

    Many Thanks :bye:

    Well done John ..a nice clutch of points..ADAYAR was certainly the quiet horse of the race.

    Good to see Essential Quality winning. I am now on 2380 (360th), though a few Godolphin runners today that aren’t in my stable so will probably dropdown further by the end of the day

    Well done Tonge and Nathan. :good: :good:
    Will update tomorrow.

    So many runners it is virtually impossible to catch all those points flying around.. :wacko:

    Top scorers in the official comp looking like they are running out of swaps so time for us tortoises to make a move. :yes:
