    Okay, bit of an update. I contacted Tote and asked about entering more than one stable in
    a private league. I was told “no, at present you can only enter 1 stable”. Chancing my luck
    I asked the obvious question, does “at present” mean we will be able to enter one later? I
    was told I could try and see if there was any change tomorrow :unsure:

    It does seem the private leagues are a bit of an after thought, and they are scrambling at
    the last minute trying to get it set up. Also I am told that there is no League Of Leagues
    competition and leaderboard, so it’s just there to compete with each other in the league.

    With that being the case I think I’ll just post the PIn here for anyone wishing to stick in
    a stable. Bear in mind, if you have more than one stable, you should click on your favourite
    stable as it may well be the only one you can enter into the league.

    Good luck all

    Hi Graham and co. :good:

    It went smashing, mum had a beautiful send. I’ll feel a lot better having respected her wishes and we’ve played her favourite bit of music at the end of funeral which I only discovered while looking after her.

    “CAN I CANOE YOU UP THE RIVER” by ARTHUR GODFREY which was a record in the 1950’s apparently on a 78 record. If the song is unfamiliar to you, (like it was to me) the are records of it on the internet, and the is a recording of it sung on Youtube. :heart: :heart: :heart:

    The song is making up part of a playlist on my I pod Touch as a tribute to mum and dad to keep them close to my heart.

    Going to look at entering other entries on the Tote, one inspired by Jac will be a group of greys will let you know later what them greys are. Expect one to be Bristol :yes:

    Thanks for the sage advice BigG. Crikey, as you say it’s not easy to navigate but I did finally manage to get 25 entries in after 3 hours ! I thought that making a shortlist of horses would make the process easy, but when I came to making up various stables I found I couldn’t select from that shortlist, so I just reverted to the main long list … discovered it helps to click the ‘ABC’ icon at the top to put the list in alphabetical order. Hope it helps others…. and get cracking !!!
    Good luck all.

    You needed to click the +sign beside each horse in your shortlist to add them to your team of ten.

    I’m in Graham you won’t miss Jac’s Flyers I hope they do what it says on the packet B-) but mainly keep themselves safe.
    I was so excited to find the join a league thread that I clicked on the wrong stable so you won’t see Bristol De Mai in this one, hopefully I can put my Dark Angels team in later…best of luck to our TRF League. :good: Jac

    Neil, so glad to hear your mum had a lovely send off to her favourite song..
    my husband’s best mate who died relatively young went of to the strains of ‘Gone Fishing’ it made us all smile. :rose:

    It was tough whittling the songs down to just 3, but me and my brother was adamant that was one of them. She’s gone but were richer for the memories she’s left. Will post on Top 10 songs my tribute to mum and dad. Here though will reveal my greys which is my free stable.

    Al Dancer
    Angel Breath
    Bristol De Mai
    Dalila Du Seuil
    Duc Des Genievres
    Eldorado Allen
    Elixir De Nutz
    Geordie B
    Mr Grey Sky
    One For Rosie

    Had a listen to that song Neil, it’s a lovely little number. My baby daughter seemed to enjoy it :-)

    Good luck in this comp all, I didn’t enter as would have lost the run of myself but will follow this thread :good:

    Just catching up as I’ve been out the whole day. Glad to see that We’ve got a few in
    the league now, I wonder If I should have stuck a thread in the Racing Competitions
    forum, I’m not sure how many will have clocked it in here. Having said that, I’m not
    sure how many will have thrown the towel in before getting a stable up and running,
    it’s not exactly a user friendly site. There’s usually a last minute mad dash with
    these competitions, so I’d expect a few more. Stables have to be registered before
    midday tomorrow, but I don’t think there would be any objection if anyone joined the
    league later in the day or thereabouts, there would be no advantage gained.

    Glad to hear things went well Neil, and I couldn’t think of a more apt song to have
    a send off to, Can I Canoe You Up The River….it did make me smile :yes:

    Great stuff Steve :good:

    I tried to log on to the site, it’s moving like a snail, and when I tried
    to check how the league was doing it says I am not a member of any league :unsure:
    They need to get this site working.

    Inthestream is leading with 60.9 points for De Rasher Counter..what a great pick :good: and the only other points scored today were 1.1 for Buveur D’Air coming second…we’re off and running. :yahoo: Jac Would be nice to add another stable though :mail: Jac

    Thanks for the update Jac, it seems I can get back into the league now.
    Very nice start Inthestream, I think you should be sending young Ben Jones
    a Christmas card, he gave the horse a peach of a ride.

    Quite a few with with Buveur D’Air today, that was a bit of an upset, but I’m
    sure he will come good. I’m still in the starting stalls, I should have said my
    stable is Firstfencefallers 1. I thought I had more or less a penalty kick with
    Reserve Tank, odds on in a 3 horse race, but he went the same way as Buveur D’Air.

    Long way to go, and we might be a small elite force, but I’m looking forward to
    us giving the competition a run for it’s money :good:
