    Nice one Bobby, great SP too :good: hope you backed him.

    My fingers are crossed for my star horse tomorrow and hoping he does better than Yanworth on Wednesday in his second try over fences..at least he came out of it alright that’s the main thing.
    I’ll be behind the sofa tomorrow afternoon until Finian’s race is over. ;-)

    Think about 37 of us have Altior in our list, he seemed such a solid choice and it looks like he could even miss Cheltenham now.
    Feel sorry for Nicky Henderson but hoping Might Bite wins all before him this season. :good: Jac

    We have a new leader, and though many of you have Finians Oscar, Jac benefits the most with her double points, and is our new leader. Not bad for a Flat Fan. Graham has sneaked quietly into third.

    Finians Oscar 16.8

    I did Green and I’m definitely warming to the jumps ;-) didn’t expect that and I have no nails left after that exciting finish.
    So pleased for the Potts family very emotional time for them.
    I’ll enjoy my visit to the Penthouse as it will no doubt be a fleeting one.
    Well done to all Finian’s Oscar backers. :yahoo: Jac

    No joy for anyone in The Bonus Race.

    Diamond Geezer looks like he’s dug out a nice one in the shape of Apples Shakira, while Botchy scored courtesy of Monalee.

    Apples Shakira 16.9
    Monalee 12.2

    Reigning champ Fair Along, weighted in with Slate House

    Faugheen 26.2
    Fox Norton 26.6

    I would give all my points and more to have seen London Prize come back from that dreadful fall this afternoon..
    A sad loss for racing, I only saw him at Newmarket last month running 2nd in the Cesarewitch and he was doing so well this year.
    Will miss him so much :-( Jac

    Well done Bobby and good luck with the treble tomorrow. :good:
    My star horses were about as luckless as yours in the past but hopefully this year we will keep
    them for the whole competition. Jac

    Trip topped off a good day with Bristol De Mai landing the Bonus Race, and the cherry on top was that it was never in doubt, and keeps her well ahead. Well done Jac. Cue Card got a few of you some extra points for being runner up.

    With all the fuss around BDM, the performance of Clan Des Obeaux went relatively unnoticed, but I was impressed, and he was a nice winner for Jamie.

    Top Notch was another impressive winner, and he landed a nice haul for Frankie, BigGreenHorse, Corm, and TAPK, while Min scored a bloodless victory for THM, Inthestream, Grass, Ham, and Nenni.

    Peter kept the faith with Lil Rockerfeller, and he was rewarded with a good tally at Ascot.

    Bristol De Mai 51.80
    Clan Des Obeaux 28.70
    Cue Card 12.00
    Lil Rockerfeller 27.90
    Min 13.10
    Top Notch 27.60

    Samcro continued his progression today at Navan, where he was an easy winner, scoring for several of you, including Ham, and Botchy, who have him as star horse.

    Samcro 21.3

    Unlucky Peter, must have thought you had some nice points in the bag there, but least Willoughby did the business for a few of you.

    Willoughby Court 17.5

    Great win for Total Recall today in The Bonus Race, and he gets a nice return for Tommy, while Whisper provided some compensation for Grass & Fair Along.

    Far too many of you to mention for Buveur D’Air, and plenty of you had him for star horse as well.

    Beware The Bear really did Mark proud in The Rehearsal Chase, while Gold Present did the business for Boz, Buckers, and TAPK.

    Beware the Bear
    Buveur D’Air
    Gold Present 25.10
    Total Recall 55.10

    At Fairyhouse, Apples Jade scored for loads of you, including Inthestream, who has her as star horse. Also at Fairyhouse, Death Duty scored for Rooster, and Presenting Percy scored for Titus, and Tonge.

    Apples Jade 26.7
    Benie Des Dieux 16.3
