    Thanks Graham! I saw that incident, it really took Sceau Royal out of the race, when he looked like he was really running well.

    Great result for you Jac with Put The Kettle on, and with your
    nap put on it :yahoo:

    Pretty dire day for me, Sceau Royal was unlucky I think. The only
    respite I got was with Sir Gerard in the last, and I think you
    had him too, so well done on a good day :good:

    :yahoo: Yes Thanks Andre and Graham and such bad luck with Sceau Royale Graham.

    I’ve always loved Put The Kettle On made me laugh they call her Polly at home. I almost made her my star horse in the TTF. :heart:

    Was at my daughter’s this afternoon with baby Oscar and she liked a horse called Tea Clipper in the 2.30 so we put £5 EW on that between us at 50/1 (came in 3rd at 33’s) and then a £5 EW double with Put The Kettle On it paid out £148.50 for a place double. :yahoo:
    She was over the moon..We made a nice cuppa after that with a choccy digestive (Plain Chocolate).

    Sir Gerhard was brilliant in the last wasn’t he Graham? Rachel Blackmore deserved that win after a couple of tumbles. :rose:

    Hope all’s going well in Arizona Andre?
    Your TRF TTF Stable is performing amazingly you will take some catching. :rose:

    Just noticed my Flying Angel’s stable has gone to No.1 in the Plumpton League.
    Very pleased but how on earth did that happen? B-)

    Darren, what a start to the day, Chantry House at 25/1, well done mate :yahoo:

    I can’t believe I left him out of my competition, he was 1 horse outside
    of my TTF, and I changed my mind and put Shan Blue in and Chantry House
    as my reserve. What an eejit :wacko:

    My bets are as my competition, so I’ve got Brinkley at 16/1.
    I reckon this is probabley Unowhatimeanharry’s swan song.
    He’s a horse that owes me nothing and although he’s not likely to win I can’t
    let him go without a fairwell bet at 50/1 7 places Skybet

    Still seething about Chantry House :-(

    Hello Everyone, Arizona is going well Jac, thanks for asking. Family and friends starting to gather for the wedding on Saturday. Going hiking in a couple of hours (it’s 7AM here now). I’m watching the racing, but the sound is out on the TV lol

    Well done with Chantry House Darren! :yahoo: Great start to the day for you. I had Shan Blue in the contest as well Graham, with Chantry as my reserve. That would have been 22 pts – :wacko:

    I had The Bosses Oscar at 20/1 E/W in the AP Contest, so I was disappointed to see him finish 2nd. He was my nap in the Cheltenham contest as well. At least my TTF is going well so far. Hopefully one of you can win the Chelt contest this year.

    Good Luck with the test of your bets

    Brilliant win with Chantry House Darren 25/1 :yahoo:

    I thought you wouldn’t let Ukmowwhatimeanharry slip under the radar Graham and he did run a nice race. :heart: Brinkley was up there at the start but dropped away gorgeous looking horse.

    No winners for me today yet and hoping my Nap MIN comes home in the 3.05. He deserves it.

    So relieved Envoi Allen got up ok.
    That for me is the best news so far.
    :rose:

    Enjoy your hike Andre and hope we get some winners soon. :rose: Jac

    I’m a bit more relieved with Allaho winning the 3rd, I had him at 5s, so stole
    a couple of points. I wish they were all as easy as that :yes:

    I quite fancy Flooring Porter at 14/1, I thought he was quite
    impressive in the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown. If Vindication can
    run as well over hurdles as he can over fences, he’s not without a shout
    at 14/1 too. If the real Paisley Park turns up, we could all be in trouble :whistle:

    Well done Graham! :yahoo: What a run by Flooring Porter – hope you had him in the Comp as well. :good: I don’t think Paisley Park was at at this best, makes me wish Thyme Hill had been there afterall.

    Keep it going mate!

    Well here’s a story to tell. My Norton protection developed a fault, it
    told me to contact support. It was before the 4.15 race and I’d already
    got my bet on the The Glancing Queen, (who I watched finishing 5th). I
    thought I’d tell them and they’d flick a switch and it would be sorted.
    Not so, and I had to allow them to sort it remotely on my PC, and it
    took longer than I thought, I also had my son on the phone so I was
    panicking as I hadn’t got my bet on for Mount Ida and it was getting
    near 4.50. I told him I’d need to hang up. I don’t really use my phone
    for for betting and I kept getting my login wrong. Eventually I got in
    on the Bet365 site and I brought the race up, I could see she was 12/1.
    I realised they were running so not knowing why she was so big I stuck
    30 quid on anyway. I had to WhatsApp my son who was watching the race,
    he said “she was out the back and had a lot to do”. Hmmm I thought.
    “She’s moved up a bit, but still got a lot to do”, Hmmmm. “She’s just
    behind the leaders, and Rachael Blackmore has fallen”.A pause…. “She’s
    challenging for the lead” …..”she’s going to win” :yahoo:

    I have to tell you his updates were as exciting as watching the race, I was
    on the edge of my seat. I would have backed her at about 15/4 if I’d got there
    in time, but 12/1 is a huge bonus. It’s been a good day :good:

    Great comeback today Graham and loved the Mount Ida story getting 12/1 in running that didn’t last long. Richard Hoiles should watch his back if your son decides on a new career. :yahoo:

    Great 12/1 Nap with Flooring Porter too. Your all in with a great chance going into the last day.

    It’s been a great competition and big thank you to Nathan who is the current leader and who we all have to beat..fantastic tipping Nathan :yahoo:

    Jac
    :bye:
