    I will certainly take much closer order the next round of Meydan there was some real gold.
    I think charlie Appleby’s jockey arrangements are quite telling because even though will Buick may have the choices it is not reflected in the outcomes so more is at foot here.
    Far easier selecting horses thousands of miles away than at Newcastle this week!!
    One more runner
    Dundalk 6.30
    Maiden
    ROCHESTER MIKE
    Win
    Winning margin any runner
    Over 1.25 Lengths @ 13/8

    May need the run,
    but if fit and ready to roll and able to act on the all weather, should go very close indeed.
    Second to Paddington who is Ballydoyle’s big hope back at the Curragh in a 29 runner maiden in the summer. Five lengths back but the first to reappear and Paddington will be seen next in the group one trophy or group 1 whatever at Newbury Newmarket or the Curragh.
    The selection is also covered by a winning margin wager ( any runner).

    It’s always that way with the Appleby horses and jockey bookings Sam. Seen it so many times at Newmarket when there have been 3 or 4 runners the red hat would often win at a big price.. Sometimes it’s just about how that jockey gets on with the horse.
    Buick stayed loyal to Native Trail in the 2000 Guineas but Coroebus took the prize. Unusual to see Buick have a blank day but that will change.

    Nice finish to the day for us and Raymo with Lazuli :yahoo: and a small forecast made it a very nice day thank you Mr.Paddy Power :good: Jac

    Nice little forecast there Jac.

    No bets for me but 1010 points courtesy of Lazuli, Man of Promise and Al Suhail, plus 200 bonus points. Onwards and upwards (well onwards anyway).

    :good: Thanks Graham.. Not much we could do about points today. Thankfully there was a Group race won by a Gofolphin horse which saved us. :good:

    It did indeed Jac, not the best day for the blues, but a long way
    to go. Managed to get Marjorie Slotted in for this Thursday 12th.
    It can’t come quick enough.

    It was great being taken care of up at my sister’s, but it’s nice
    to get home :good:

    Well done you and Nathan taking some money off the bookies at Meydan
    today, and a very nice E/w for Sam. Hoping I can join in the party
    tomorrow, I’ve not been putting in the hours for some time, and it
    shows. More time and effort needed, I’m determined to give it :good:

    810 points for me too

    No money for me BigG.. Mine were 2nd and 3rd but I thought Highbank showed a lot of promise considering a few things didn’t go her way

    Thanks Raymo early days yet and 5 swaps in hand.
    Well done with Lazuli. :yahoo:

    Just waiting for Andre’s (Euroalien) results and not sure if Ben or any others put in a Godolphin stable..

    Anyone can join in just post your points here to join our competition. :good:

    Nice to read about some bookie bashing – well done Jac & Sam.

    I changed my Godolphin stable at the last minute and of course, I missed out on some points. Five runners for me and just 610 pts, which I think included 200 pts from the bonus race. Overall Rank of 644.

    Hoping for a winner or two in the comps today. I’ve taken a chance with my selections today including High Up In The Air in the 1:15 @ Sandown. Hoping he can bounce back to form here. E/Way value at around 20/1. Also Nemean Lion in the Tolworth another “value special” at 16’s.

    Glad to hear your back home Graham and that you’ve got an appointment for Marjorie next Thursday. As you said, the sooner the better.

    Oh Jac – I have finally gotten around to ordering the first book in the Roy Grace series by Peter James.

    Good Luck with all your bets and comp picks! Stay Safe!

    PS – Don’t like the way High Up In The Air is running – he needs to be just off the pace. Disappointing to say the least. šŸ™

    Youre going to get hooked on those Peter James Detective Roy Grace books Andre…enjoy reading them. :good:

    Thank you for your score and what a shame that you changed your stable missing out on some points, but at least you got some very difficult Bonus points to boost your score..long way to go and 5 swaps seems a lot in this short compy.

    Unusual for me I have Napped a jumps horse today and I was undecided between Tahmuras snd Arctic Bresil in the 2.25 Sandown..I just had go with the extremely expensive and good looking Arctic Bresil for HDB ridden by Rachel Blackmore ..he oozes class and could be very good.
    Off soon so we will find out..keep all the horses and jockeys safe today 💫
    Good luck..Jac :rose:

    So looks can be deceiving Arctic Bresil never got a look in. :wacko: That will teach me to change my mind I had Tahmuras written down as my Nap and deserted him.. šŸ˜„
    Well done to Graham and Raymo who I noticed had put him in the 3 horses compy..
    :yahoo: Jac
