    Good Morning to all of you.

    Jac For what it is worth here are my scores for the Godolphin Competition
    Points 3870 Rank 1010 still have 2 swaps left but no chance of making up
    the difference between the main body of entries and myself.

    Many Thanks :good: :bye:

    Hello John
    Many thanks for your updated scores and I can understand your loss of interest in the competition with the lack of Bonus points. I’m also going to be in real trouble without them having 0 swaps remaining as I messed up one of my swaps and used up my final one :wacko: I can’t believe I did it but at least I had Rebel Romance and Desert Flower who kept me afloat and Notable Speech is still to run next week..I hope.

    Very well done with your TRF Tote 10 to Follow for the flat scores where you are leading the pack :yahoo: Brilliant play John.

    Here is the updated scoreboard and thank you. . :rose:

    Hello All, Just catching up. I hope everyone is doing well.

    Sam that poem really is very moving and touching. Thanks for sharing it. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain of losing a child. Graham how tragic for your sister and brother-in-law – there are no words…..

    I was just reading about the Cesarewitch controversy – what a shambles. What were the stewards doing – aren’t they supposed to watch for things like this?

    No luck with my comp selections again this week. I need to start studying & making a short list for the NH TTF comp. The start is just around the corner!

    Take Care Everyone

    Thanks Blackcountry Kid…it seems that the flat season has just flown by and here we are at Champions Day and on the verge of the NH season kicking off and Meydan racing in Dubai starting up again.. We have still to get to the Finally in America at the end of the month and not sure how many Godolphin horses will turn out for the Breeders Cup Meeting.
    Best of luck to you BCK and look forward to you joining us again..Jac :rose:

    Graham I can’t put into words how I felt after reading your response to Sam’s beautiful poem. Nobody should have to go through the loss of a child let alone two children and then a still born child 😢 I just wanted to thank you for sharing that story Graham it must have been extremely difficult for you to relive those experiences as an uncle to those children.
    Every child is a gift no matter how long they are with us our lives are better for them having been there with us. Take care..Jac ✨️🌟x

    Good luck in the competitions this week. :good:
    It’s the final week of Select 3 Horses flat competition and we will all be back to zero next Saturday
    when I take over the job of scoring up the comp until Grand National Day 2025.
    Going for some big prices tomorrow and really hoping that See The Fire (took 66/1) will have
    more luck in running and come back to form in the 3.55. She’s up against it but I still believe in
    her ability. :rose:

    Andre…have you seen that Raymo is doing a Champions Day Competiiton. I only caught it late on tonight.
    Get your horses on early and best of luck. Thanks Raymo for running this for us.
    :heart: Jac
