    I had Judicial Law 22/1 2nd in the 3.00 Cheltenham but put hom down to win in Neil’s Handicap comp. :wacko:

    I did back him EW though :good:

    Well done there Triptych. nice story behind Aberama Gold A love story concerning a day out on a lads winnings serenading a date which didn’t work out the way the owner hoped, but led to a love affair with racing. So all’s well that ends well!!

    This is turning into a nail biter. Just checked and the
    Jac V Andre score is at the moment is 16-22 with Jac having
    2 still to run and Andre 1 to run. Both you guys have still
    got your naps to come. This is going down to the wire :whistle:

    Cracking E/W Jac with Judicial Law at 22/1 Jac :yahoo:

    It’s going to be so tight between you and Andre. Good luck
    to both of you, I wish you both could go through :cry:

    I’m pacing up and down Graham. Andre’s got a cracker of a Nap to come and mine runs 13 minutes later at Donny. :wacko:
    Would hope for a tie but then we have to do it all again .. don’t think I could face that so best Naps forward. :good:

    Robnorth turned in a nice 14/1 winner with Dancing On My Own to fight back with Mike007 then Mike got his 5/2 Nap..🫣 Another nail biting finish..

    The old fella was telling the story with a twinkle in his eyes.

    Chelmsford 7pm
    Turn the tables
    Each way
    Meng tian
    Win
    In stall eight is the draw data horse with the highest stall and down below a winning mark.
    Turn the tables in stall 1 is in the stellar opposite stall and with a seven pound claimer on board looks very nicely placed and expectations are not high which is ideal.

    Good luck with Meng tian and Turn The Tables Sam. :good:

    I have to play in the last at Chelmsford tonight I was going to put this filly on my choices today.
    You’ll see why I liked her….

    8.30 Chelmsford..
    JACQUELINA.. 8/1 EW

    Rev. Forecast

    So Sleepy
    Jacquelina

    I’m not certain if I might have pipped Andre’s score today. I had 2 short price winners a 2nd and my Nap was 3rd .. it went to the wire…I’ll leave that one to the judge. :mail:

    Yep I can’t say anything until officially the scores are out Jac, but I think
    we might be okay. I’ll say no more at this time until it’s in black and
    white :mail:

    Good job I didn’t put Jacquelina in my choices. She went belting off like a rocket for 3 furlongs and blew herself out and So Sleepy lived up to his name..😴😴🥱
    Looked a bit bleak at Chelmsford tonight, I think Jacquelina and So Sleepy need to get home for some hot chocolate and a digestive biscuit.

    Very well done Jac! :good: A well deserved win, especially with my feeble zero point effort today. (Two nice winners in my reserves though :wacko: ) I’m sure you and Graham will carry the Meydan flag on to glory in the Cup!

    Well Done Jac and bad luck Andre, it was close between the 2 of you.
    Such a shame you had to be drawn against each other. I hope to hell
    that I don’t get drawn against you Jac, it would be pretty Sh*t if
    we ended up knocking each other out :wacko: Let’s hope we both
    have a chance of going through in a fortnight.

    I don’t know when Nathan will make the draw, probably not tonight.
    We could bung him a fiver Jac B-)

    B-) Better make that a tenner Graham and don’t forget l’ll probably be relying on the All Weather for my flat bets I’m going to have to pull out all the stops if we get drawn together.

    Thank you Andre :heart: you were so unlucky today starting off with that advantage and I only just got through.
    If you’d played your reserves I’d have been out. We both managed bookend zeros and there was just 3 points in it at the finish..very well played 👏👏

    Off to Newmarket next Friday and Saturday with Louise for the Final Meeting she’s already studying up. :mail: Hot Fuss has kindly said he will score 3 Horses for me on Sunday week.
    It’s a busy weekend as the Breeders Cup is also running and on Tuesday 7th Graham’s favourite Melbourne Cup runs.🐎🐎🏆

    Enjoy the racing to come and good luck for Bobby’s 10 to Follow and Graham’s Tote 10 To Follow..I’ve only got about 2 or 3 horses earmarked at present..hope I don’t forget to enter something so many comps. :wacko:

    I always used to enjoy our contest with talkinghorses forum on Breeders Cup weekend and always remember the late Diamond Geezer at this time of year :heart:

    Don’t forget to put your clocks back tonight…⏰️⏳️🕰
    Jac
    :bye:

    Well Imight as well put my hands up to this.I’ve made an absolute howler.
    For God knows what reason I got the idea into my head that last week, at
    the Champions Week was the last week of the competition. Perhaps because
    the TTTF flat compy finished on the 2nd August. so, I scoured through all
    races UK/Irland/France and apart from one which was already in my stable,
    Trawlerman, there were only 2 other average looking horses in the same
    race in France. I thought well I might as well stick them in, so I left
    8 unchanged horses (with no chance of running, bar 1) and used my last
    swap. I had to get that off my chest. What an absolute *%$”*&*** idiot :wacko:
    So that’s one competition I definitely won’t be winning.

    Anyway, as I seem to keep saying, worse things happen at sea. C’est la vie :unsure: :unsure:

    Ah yes, you’ve lifted my spirits Jac, just over a week to
    the Melbourne Cup. Moehat and I have the coffee and Hobnobs
    (don’t tell Chezza) ready for an all night sitting. :yahoo:

    I’m on Gold Trip Graham so I’ll leave you and Moe to cheer him home for me in the early hours. :yahoo:

    I’ve used all my Godolphin swaps too but hopefully one or two will be supplemented…it’s all been a bit messy this year and again the lack of Bonus Races (don’t get John started..lol) hasn’t helped those ‘not in the know’ to gain some valuable extra points. :mail: Jac
