    Delighted to see you with us Steve, although that’s just more than
    halved any chance I had before you entered. I jest, it’s great to
    see you with us. I think the bookies have you at 6/4 :whistle:

    I wouldn’t imagine many will be up at this ungodly hour, but if you catch
    it in the morning remember you have to have your stable/s in before 11am.

    Best of luck to all, I’m sure someone from here will crack the big one one
    day and I heard a whisper that Inthestream finished 22nd in the last one.
    That’s some going :good:

    Hello BigG I would not normally be up at this time in the morning
    but have to go to hospital again today.

    I have not seen any posts about the setback to Allaho https://www.racingpost.com/news/latest/superstar-allaho-set-to-miss-king-george-after-reported-setback/588012 but still time to make a change if you want to.

    The main reason for this post is to say that I am Numpty Goes Jumping.

    Many Thanks :bye:

    Ah, it all commes flooding back now John, mind you, you’ll probaby need to remind
    me again when the when the flat compy starts :scratch:

    I’m going to make a swift change. Willie said he would miss the King George
    but as to how bad it is, well Willie plays his cards close to his cheast,

    Good luck at hospital today John, I hope all goes well :good:

    Any others who enter the league I’m affraid will not qualify
    for the £50 League win. Anyway, never mind about the 50 quid,
    what about that hundred grand? We’ve got guys n gals on here
    who know their horses, no reason it shouldn’t be one of us.
    C’mon the TRFers :yahoo:

    Would be delighted if one of the trf team won it. No reason we can’t be there or thereabouts.

    Oh I hate this bit. I wasn’t going to update until next Monday,
    but I’m obliged to ask an awkward question.

    Galaxys Gallopers 4 and To Madeira, can I ask you rather than making
    enquiry with The Tote, when you joined the league. To be specific did
    you join after 11am on 12 November 22, which was the cut off time for
    those available to the prize money. I know I will get PMs about this
    as the list was posted just after the competition started. If it’s
    the case that you did enter before the cut off I’ll make representation
    on your behalf to the tote, but if you are aware you were late you could
    save me a bit of time.

    If you were late, you are most welcome to stay with the league for some
    fun, but I have to be a hardass and rule you out of the money prize.
    Sorry guys but It would be unfair to those who entered on time when
    the shut off point was clearly mentioned. Let me know if you can.

    Okay so here is the position with the two additional teams. It obviously is a problem
    for the Tote when there is a last minute rush, and thay cannot get everything sorted on
    time. It’s not surprising that they take time adding stables just before the cut off,
    and I have sympathy with those trying to get their teams in late as it’s a nightmare
    at the best of times. I reckon the 2 additional teams showed up a day late, but if they
    were late or the tote just couldn’t handle it is unknown.

    So the position is that the league will be with 21 satbles. The good thing about that is
    it means that there will be a £25 prize for the runner up.

    This is my decision and if anyone is unhappy then I am sorry about that but my decision
    is final the matter is closed.

    There is such a long way to go, I don’t think anyone need worry about any present
    places, they will chop and change as the league goes on.

    Good luck all, remember that this is a bit of fun. I hope you all do well, and one
    day I’m convinced that one of us will land the big one. There’s too much knowledge
    in here for a winner not to emerge one year. Let’s hope it’s this one :good:

    All good with me Graham we are only just at the start of the comp and as you say a long way to go yet.

    Wish I had seen John’s warning about Allaho before we kicked off but was busy helping my daughter at a charity function that morning.

    Just want to wish John well as he said he was off to hospital that morning..hope your Numptys stable run well and you are soon back with us. :rose: Jac

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

    Absolutely right Jac, your priorities are spot on. Good luck to John
    who’s been going through a bit for a while. All the best in hospital
    mate, the forum are rooting for you :good:

    Well 1st week (and a bit) is by and some have got off to a flier but none
    more so than Galaxy’s Gallopers 4 who landed Protektorat in the bonus
    betfair chase for a HUGE 60.70 points. For company he had GA Law 23.30
    who was winner of the Paddy Power and a further 21.10 Points with Nube
    Negra, winner of the Schloer Chase at Cheltenham. 1,80 Points for Tommy’s
    Oscar 2nd to the impressive Banbridge for a great start and 106.90
    points. 1st class start Galaxy, the trick is keeping up there when
    you’ve got a target on your back. Great start, keep it going :good:

    Green’s Gallopers also was on the mark with Protektorat (60.70 points)
    and Hitman (11.62 points) who managed to break the habit of being the
    bridesmaid, by winning easily at Haydock and looks to be a potential
    King George horse if Nicholls is prepared to throw both him and Bravemansgame
    into the race. 72.32 Points is a cracking start Green. Every chance of
    adding some big points with the KG. Well done :good:

    The winner of the flat competition, Edantony, shows he means business in
    the jumps version too. Willie Mullins looks to have a proper horse on his
    hands with State Man (26.40 points) who had The Morgiana settled before
    the last and probably doesn’t know what the whip is yet. No doubt a lot
    more to come from him and probably the Hatton’s Grace next. Tony looks to
    unearthed a little diamond in Gordon Elliot’s Three Stripe Life (12.50 points)
    in the Beginners Chase at Naas. I don’t think he ever got out of 2nd gear and
    although he had the Grand Dury ahead with 3 to go, he was just waiting
    to take him. A very easy winner in a race where sadly Henry de Bromhead’s
    Grand Dury was fatally injured in a fall at the 2nd last. It’s a hard
    game at times. As for Tony, with 38.90 he’s on the move again :good:

    Barrow Raiders was another in the 30’s with Kim Bailey’s Does He Know.
    He’s not got a great turn of speed, but he’s a relentless galloper and
    could be a National type in a year or 2. Itswhatunitesus did it the hard
    way from the front, but although the odds on fav stayed with him, he was never
    going to be passed. 37.62 Points for BR. Still learning, but with a couple
    of cleaner jumps at the end he would have won very easily. Two nice
    picks BR, nicely done :good:

    Inthestream had Nube Negra and Bob Olinger (both mentioned above) and
    Jonbon, who although he only had another 2 competitors, but couldn’t
    have done it any easier, which is a huge compliment to Constitution Hill,
    who trounced him by 22L in the Supreme earlier this year. We still have
    to see the bold boy but Nicky,as usual, has them wrapped in cotton wool
    for March. WellDone Inthestream. In total 33.60 :good:

    Plenty of others in the 20s and teens, with yours truly still seated in
    the paddock :unsure:

    This weekend sees some big boys out, I’m particularly looking forward
    to Newbury on Friday where hopefully Champ, Paisley Park, Proschema,
    Thomas Darby and Dashel Drasher go head to head in the Coral Long
    Distance Hurdle.

    The Coral Gold Cup at Newbury has too many to mention but a good few
    stable horses. I’m particularly interested the earlier race at 12.45
    where hopefully Thyme Hill and McFabulous would be quite a race. The
    only danger is that McFabulous won 8 days previous and may well be
    rested.

    So that’s the 1st wekk (and a bit)and some serious moves have
    been made. However,as we all know in here, it’s early days and
    the wholeseason is ahead of us.

    Good luck with your stable this week and any punts :good:

    Stupidly I missed that the flying5th at Newcastle could possibly have
    Epatante and Constitution Hill. I won’t hold my breath though for Nicky
    to have his 2 line up against each other.

    Hang on, could this be a sign :unsure:
    I noted that Imperial B G couldbe running in the 1pm
    Imperial BigG, I like the sound of that B-)
