    Have to talk nicely to Vtc and Corm Nathan but I”m not holding my breath.
    Merry Christmas Hein hope you’re keeping safe. :good:

    Thank you for voting I’ve really enjoyed this Thread through these tough times and found lots of great Series to watch on Netflix recommended by all of you. :heart: .

    A friend of mine has recommended
    Locke Key on Netflix
    Just the 1 Series at the moment 10 Episodes but more to come..It’s on my list with Queens Gambit recommended by Andre. :good:

    Great news Andre that your daughter has had her vaccine and hope all works out well with your mum-in-law, fingers crossed she wasn’t infected but a very worrying few days for your family. :rose:

    Good luck with Lostintranslation I would be over the Moon if he could win. :heart:

    The thread got my vote as well Jac. It’s been a great source of new friends, and excellent chat – racing and otherwise.

    I guess some money back is better than nothing Nathan. Hope you got most of it back at least.

    Locke & Key sounds familiar, not sure if we watched it or not though :unsure:

    Stay Safe Everyone

    Thanks Andre :good:
    We’ve managed to get through the year in one piece and when the vaccine hopefully sees this awful virus off we can look forward to crowds being allowed back on the racetrack and a full programme of Classics..but we’re still not there yet so stay safe everyone for just a while longer and keep checking in on Meydan Thursdays :rose: Jac x

    An old favourite who is due a win tomorrow….

    12.45 Lingfield ..
    ORNATE
    11/2 (Enhanced odds) Paddy Power
    WIN

    On a good mark today and if this old speedster takes up an early lead he will be hard to catch.
    . :good:

    Hope my newly polished pin does the trick..🌟 Jac :rose:

    Bet365 going 13/2 at the moment but I’m not with them so had to take the PP odds..could look good tomorrow. :good:

    Good luck with your punt looks to have a good chance on the head to heads where all his opponents are held on recent meeting and that is most of them.
    1145 lingfield
    Amnaa
    each way
    Sprang a suprise lto at Kempton but the favourite ran into the back of everything attempting to get up and hurst through at fourth attempt to just fail.
    It must be faith is a warm order to continue a sequence but lingfield record not great just one place in several visits
    So Amnaa at a big price is an each way chance.

    I agree with you Jac, he’s too tempting to turn down at 12s, I even got
    a power up to 13/1. He was 11th out of 12 last time out at Wolves, but
    only got headed well into the final furlong over 6f. This should be
    right up his street over 5f from a good draw. I don’t know why he is so
    big, but he has to be worth a shot :good:

    I’m hoping this could be a race for the old boys Jac, hopefully
    Ornate can do the business for us but I’ve been tempted in to
    a few quid on Watchable too at 16/1. He was a decent old spud
    in his heyday and might have a final hoorah left in him :good:

    Great call Triptych. Just failed. Bold effort and very nice each way. Best run for a while.
    Pity that Phil ‘ punt Dennis wasn’t the pilot as all his recent wins in 2019 have been with him on board.

    Yep I had him at 13/1 on the nose too Jac :-(
    My other pick, watchable, was just about last with 1f to go,
    but finished like a train making up a lot of ground to go
    down by 3/4l in 4th. I don’t think I’ll be watching the reruns :wacko:

    Nathan I watched Sammarr’s race, WOW !!! He won at 6/1, I bet after 1f
    he was trading at 50s and probably higher than that with 2 to go. Completely
    missed the break, mostly last throughout and still well behind with a couple
    to go. Then he just took off going the long way round them to make up ground
    hand over fist to win going away. He’s definitely one for the tracker. Thanks
    for that Nathan :good:

    Darren good luck with your ante post bets, you have been on fire these last
    few weeks. I only have 1 ante post in the short term. I have Saint Calvados
    at 33/1 E/W in the King George VI. I think he’s a bit of a forgotten horse
    in the race, he had a good season last year after his wind op. Last time
    out he only went down by a neck to Min in the Ryanair. I think he’s better
    than the price suggests.

    Well it’s been the worst year I can recall, I’d imagine that’s just about the
    size of it with everyone. Just when we looked to have a chance of ridding
    ourselves of this damned virus, a new mutation rears it’s ugly head and we’re
    in unchartered waters again. I can’t for the life of me understand how some
    people just don’t get this, and by their thoughtlessness they threaten to spread
    this through society knowing that people will die.

    I wish you all a merry Christmas, even though it’s going like no Christmas we’ve
    ever known. Please take care of yourselves, I’d hate to hear that any of our happy
    gang here fell foul of this virus. Here’s hoping for a better year to come :good:
