Hi Nathan
Many thanks for holding the fort over the last 2-3 weeks..grand job
What a result for giddyup shooting into topspot last week with Eastlake 33/1 with Nenni and Hot Fuss chomping at the bit behind him. Well done to all of them.

Happy to take over again on 31st December Nathan and we can all put our feet up for Christmas next week as there are no meetings on Christmas Eve (next Saturday).

If you would like me to tot up the scores Sunday morning I’m happy help but if not will be back for Week 10 on 31st December.

Thanks to all for all the good wishes for my mum.
Feel ready to move on now and just starting my Christmas shopping tomorrow…

Now I just have to find 3 winners for Saturday and at least catch you up Nathan.. Jac

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

[Nathan Hughes]

It will be good to have you back Jac…..
I’ve got a busy weekend but will try and get the scores up Saturday night on this thread, you could do the update on Sunday morning if you wanted to Jac, if not I’ll update the leaderboard in the afternoon.
Good luck with the shopping, getting too crowded for me these days, makes my blood pressure go too high so I get Muckers presents and everybody else gets money or a gift card and have to make do.
Good luck in catching me Jac, I’m gone get one of those 33/1 shots come in one day soon, maybe…..

I’ll be happy to take on the scores for this weekend Nathan and thank you for all your help. It’s nice to be back. Just hope I can persuade one or two of my selections to stick their necks out a little bit more
See you when I’m a lot poorer than I am now.. Jac x
