    Really sorry about James Delight Graham but at least you backed him.

    I’m kicking myself for not seeing that Maelstrom was running in the last race at
    Ascot today and he dots up at 14/1…I was 100% certain that I put him in my Tracker.
    He would have been my Nap in 3 horses if I had only seen him. I gave up after not getting any winners and
    went out in the garden. Usually I will always look at the last races on the card as they are sometimes
    lucky for me. He would have got me out of trouble like when he won at 5/1 last time. On top of that I
    decided not to include Havana Blue in my selections today and didn’t even back him.

    Feeling like a prize plonker today, there was so much going on with about 4 meetings with really good
    racing including the buzz around Constitution Hill (such a shame he didn’t win). I lost the plot.

    Lesson learnt, but doubt Maelstrom will go off at 14’s any time soon….
    Hope you all did much better than I did today (not difficult)..

    Did type a longer post but it decided to disappear so typing this quickly on the computer without many emoji’s .. :cry:

    backed Friendly Soul ew at 5s (mickey mouse firm going 11/2)
    Backed ten bob tony also ew at 7s
    I think Alam maybe worth a small ew play 15/2 365 and plenty of 7s around
    am waiting to see how soft the going is and if soft(or softer) will play WIN on Bay City Roller( will put up if played or not) Have a great sunday say a little prayer for Chelsea at Arsenal today, but could be worse I could be a spurs fan(it brings such joy to see them where they are)
    Before i go what did you make off Aegean Prince Jac . x

    Wow I thought Aegean Prince was amazing Nick, what a turn of foot he produced to see them all off yesterday. 🐎 🏆 💥

    Good luck with your bets….Maelstrom and Havana Blue now well and truly on my Tracker 🤭 x

    Tbh Jac I thought he had pulled to hard hope they can keep him fit
    Friendly Soul gets me off to a decent start all down hill now .Was slightly lucky winner as I think the third Sunly was very unlucky everything went wrong

    Unlucky with Bay City Roller Nick but Ten Bob Tony ran a really decent race to place, still finishing in front of Gstaad and Opera Ballo :good: I think Coolmoore’s pace horse Dorset lit up Opera Ballo and Buick had to let him go. I wish Coolmore wouldn’t ruin races like this it seems unfair on other owners and trainers.

    Friendly Soul got first run on all of them and she was an impressive winner ..Well done Nick 🏆

    Sunly was my paddock pick in that race and then blew the start making up ground towards the finish but too late.

    I think the Commentator must have been on Sunly because he completely forgot to call the winner until she had passed the Winning Post. Awful commentary at the finish..🤫

    That’s my lot for a while glad you got that one home Nick…
    . :good: Jac ✨️🐎x

    I hope everyone is doing well!

    Our busy candle/craft show season is upon us. Most weekends between now and Christmas will be taken up. So very little live racing for me (sadly).

    For those that care, we did get five extra swaps for the Godolphin comp. So many swaps, not enough horses/races to go around.

    As a long suffering Spurs fan (60+ years) I understand your comment Nick.

    Jac – Sorry you missed Maelstrom, especially at that price.

    Graham – I hope you and Marjorie are both doing well. How’s your laptop?

    Take Care Everyone

    Ahhh yes Nick. That was a good day for a Spurs fan 2 – 0 and Chelsea get relegated that season.

    What a fantastic day for Saffie Osbourne winning the St.Leger on Highwayman..I did actually back him 😀 and a few others at big prices win and each way..all my 3 horses choices placed amd I backed Wimbledon Hawkeye EW at 33’s just beaten by Hotazhel 50/1 on the line…doh

    Glad to hear you are getting on ok Graham and all good wishes to you and Marjorie. Hope you are enjoying the Golf in Ireland..let us know who you think will win and your top players. You are Ace at the game. 🏆 ⛳️

    Andre .. The craft candles seem to be keeping you very busy, can’t believe it will be Bobby’s 10 To Follow soon…I’m looking for 10 lovely greys to follow and it’s not easy … hoping Caldwell Potter will be back in action this season.❤️

    Are you still doing the Godolphin Fantasy. Today was a brilliant day for points and Notable Speech and Al Hudaiba won at Woodbine tonight. :good:

    I now have…
    25880 Points
    135th position

    That’s over 9000 points behind the Leader. 🫣 With no Bonus Races not much chance of catching him and I’ve tried.

    Haven’t had a lot of time to get on here over past weeks but always thinking of you all and hope everyone is well..
    Dave ok , has a couple of operations on the horizon but only overnight stays required..we can cope with that.

    Take care and keep putting up your bets it’s been so nice to have a little win this weekend.
    Have a good rest of the weekend, looking forward to going to Newmarket next Saturday for the Cesarwitch Trial and Henry Cecil Day.❤️
