    And Mike and Cork top effort but at Newmarket you are competing against the proverbial handicap good thing!!

    There’s a rumour going around that Triptych is propping up the bar
    everyone is buying her a glass of pimms listening to her tales of victory against the old enemy at the Rowley mile

    Charles Darwin to conquer the World

    Nathan spot on :good: We decided to stay for the after races party and have a wee celebration, sadly only Appletise for me but I have opened a bottle of something tonight to celebrate. :yahoo:

    Many thanks to Mike, Green, Raymo and yourself Nathan and to Graham for his constant updates after each race
    (none of which I saw today until now) which made the competition so enjoyable.

    Mike & Cork you both played so consistently over the 3 days I thoroughly enjoyed the chase and this time Mike I can actually end with your legendary…Get In.. :yahoo:

    Well done for winning the cakes this time Raymo. :good:

    That 1000 Guineas finish was one of the most exciting I have seen in a long time. Mawj is such a little warrior she never gives up…I really have to thank her for winning this for me. :rose:

    Thanks Graham, I didn’t know we were playing for a prize but I guess you know where it will be going and thank you.. Jac :good:

    So pleased you had such a great day Jac, that’s what makes life so
    enjoyable when something you love comes up trumps. It certainly came
    up trumps in spades( no pun intended ;-) ) for you today Jac. I couldn’t
    be more pleased :good:

    I take it we’re talking about a donation to the Hillside Animal Sanctuary
    again then Jac, they owe a lot to you with a few now from here recognising
    what a great job they do.

    A Classic Guineas Weekend Competition at Newmarket, who else could win it :unsure:

    Thanks to BigG for running the competition.

    “At Newmarket you are competing against the proverbial handicap good thing!!”

    That is true. It was an indifferent final day’s selection from me but I had no chance with the well deserved winner who was consistently the best over the three days.

    It was a good Guineas meeting, just a pity the weather affected Saturday’s card.

    Thank you Cork winning this particular competition means a lot to me.
    Quite a few horses pulled out of the later races yesterday as the ground had turned very sticky by the time the Guineas was run it was a tough slog.

    Graham thank you for putting up the very generous prizes and yes I would love Hillside Animal Sanctuary to benefit from my good fortune.
    I’m sure you already have the link but if not here it is…

    As you know they do so much for so many animals and ex racehorses and run adoption schemes too.
    big thank you..Jac :heart:

    Can’t say it’s a total shock for you to win this competition, Jac. Newmarket is your second home. Well done. :heart:

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    Thanks Tonge and Rummy..I couldn’t get anywhere near your Handicap race on Saturday though. :wacko:

    Good luck at Brighton Katherine, another specialist track, if I lived there I’d be down The Lanes today having a spend up. :yes: 👜🕶🥿👠👝

    Congratulations Jac (Triptych)! :yahoo: What amazing consistency over the three days – As Graham said All Hail the Queen of Newmarket. Well done also to Mike and CorkAllStar for finishing on the podium with some really nice scores too! Big thanks to Graham for tallying all the scores (at least I didn’t give you much work with my scores).

    Oh lovely surprise Graham, didn’t expect that. Those extra funds and bales of hay are so important at the moment they are taking on so many more animals needing help even rehoming dogs from those families unable to care for them because of the financial crisis.

    Really enjoyable competition..three Cheers for Graham, The Raymos, Hot Fuss, Rummy, Vtc, Nathan and all who keep us on our toes and the bookies running for cover. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
