Likewise out of luck with the bonus race (hugely wide of the mark as it happens!). 2 winners though and now on 770 (76th). Can’t believe Key Victory won today. I think I had him in my stable for almost all of the summer and got nothing from him! Left him out this time of course…

Thanks
January 9, 2020 at 22:47 #1479411Thanks John and Nathan.

Great score Tonge that should put you at the top of our leaderboard for mid-January.

224th
The Key Vctory result hadn’t been added.

January 10, 2020 at 01:49 #1479426Managed to get my stable in yesterday and I expect I had the same 3 as yourself Jac
as I’m on 640 points and in 224th place. No joy at all in the bonus race, I had Lost
In Time down to win it and although he finished best of the 3, 7th place was all he
could muster.Well we’re all off and running now and I had a nice email from Anna wishing us
“best of luck to you all with the rest of the league and fingers crossed for some
blue winners later today”. I wish dealings with all big organisations was as easy, I
think she was a bit of a star
January 10, 2020 at 11:43 #1479437Thanks for your scores everyone and well done with your 3 winners also yesterday Graham.
I expect Benbatl was a great shoe-in for everyone with 400 points and made up for the loss of points for Final Song last Thursday.
How refreshing that Godolphin actually has someone like Anna who is passionate about Godolphin supporters and Forum’s such as TRF who follow their progress throughout the year.Nathan you are in fact in 224th position with both Graham and myself as like me I think they were slow to come through with the final races points yesterday.
Please let me know if you notice any errors….So here is the Leaderboard after the first two weeks of the competition…..
GODOLPHIN FANTASY LEAGUE – MEYDAN FESTIVAL 2020 – LEADERBOARD
******************************************************************************TONGE – 77O Points – 76th
BigG – 640 Points – 224th
Nathan Hughes – 640 Points – 224th
Triptych – 640 Points – 224th
Euroalien – 520 Points – 382nd
John Gooch – 400 Points- 527thTonge was clever enough to include Major Partnership in her selections last week and takes advantage of the extra swap to go galloping into the lead this week, well done Tonge keep going.

Well done everyone for getting onto the leaderboard this week and look forward to the weeks ahead and putting up some good results on here for all of us.
All thanks again to Graham for everything he did for us without sadly benefiting from the extra swap himself.
You’re a star Graham.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...January 10, 2020 at 12:12 #1479438Thanks Jac. I will enjoy it while I can. It won’t last. Perhaps we should nominate Anna when Godolphin has its next staff awards round
January 11, 2020 at 07:37 #1479519Thanks for that Jac, I think we both did our bit to get Anna on side so a well
deserved pat on the back for you too
Great idea Tonge, I can feel a letter of recommendation coming on
There’s
no doubting Anna went above and beyond, and it wouldn’t do any harm to highlight her
efforts and our appreciation. I’ll get on it
January 11, 2020 at 22:39 #1479603Great idea Tonge
and Graham that would give her 7 nominations from us here to start her off. 
Just realised we don’t have Steve’s results in yet. When I get them I will adjust the Leaderboard.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...January 12, 2020 at 23:27 #1479677Heavy rain in the UAE over last few days has caused cancellation of Abu Dhabi’s meeting tomorrow.
Dubai has had the rain since last Thursday and many areas flooded.
Let’s hope the racetrack dries out quickly over the next few days or we might be looking for horses running on the turf with form on soft going.
If the rain continues there could be some big priced outsiders winning so might be a week to sit tight.
Expect the decs to be out sometime tomorrow and will wait for nwalton to advise us.. Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...January 13, 2020 at 07:26 #1479683Morning Jac/everyone, early devs up at Emiratesracing.As Jac said been plenty of rain around,also another 10 mm due up till Wednesday, nice day forecast for race day.
Good luck
January 13, 2020 at 12:46 #1479704Thanks nw
Good news about the weather, hoping it dries out nicely for Thursday.Notice Dream Castle down to run this week in the a listed class on turf with Art Du Val also entered, expect that will change.
Multiple entries going on so just use this as a guide until final decs appear with jockeys around Wednesday….

Good luck
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...January 15, 2020 at 18:24 #1479847Good luck for tomorrow everyone.
I’m not changing my Stable this week just taking a chance that Dream Castle, Loxley and Major Partnership who I have left in run good races.No sign of any bonus races yet thought the 3.40 would be a ‘shoe in’
Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...January 15, 2020 at 20:55 #1479857I swapped Major Partnership out after his win so he’s bound to romp home tomorrow!
Got Dream Castle & Art Du Val left. Sick that Magic Lily is running. Included her many times last year only to have her not run at all.
Good luck all
January 15, 2020 at 20:59 #1479859Hi Jac, BigG and the rest of the getalong gang
