    Bad news for those of us with Topofthegame as our star horse…

    Yes. I didn’t have him as my star horse, but that doesn’t mean I’m not miffed!

    I was considering TOTG as one of my horses both this season & last. He could have been the best for sometime but had his fair share of troubles which put me off. Hope racing aside he gets better.

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

    Much better today VtC, at least he has worked out how to run down the fences if he needs to. Looks to have lost some of that flamboyant potential brilliance of last year along with the carelessness but should definitely pick up more races. Where would you send him next?

    Just got round to watching it, long day at work, and didn’t get a minute.

    Yeah, much better today, really happy with that, though I don’t think I’ll ever really relax when he’s running.

    I think short term, The Peterborough Chase might be the obvious target, but I put him up on The Ryanair thread, and still not completely given up on him for that. Happy to see I can still get 50’s, for all I haven’t taken it yet.

    Thankfully Lucy Alexander uses a good brand of super glue as Elvis Mail belted a few fences, including walking through two out. Still won eased down though which promises well if he sharpens his jumping.

    As an aside I’d have been seriously cheesed off if I’d not got the winner as I had 2 of the 4 running for me!

    Yes, I agree. Only 4 runners but it looked a decent contest.

    Felix Desjy ran a nice race today Bobby well done he was relentless.
    Not sure if Darver Star is liking those big fences? he got round though and finished off his race nicely. :good:

    Guys, I’ve still not done my spreadsheet yet, so bare with me, should there be any minor errors/omissions.

    Good scoring day today….

    The Big Breakaway won nicely for Coops in the opener, before we had big moves in the leaderboard.

    Fury Road was a big scorer for GDC, but it was just the start of a good day for TAPK, TYT, and Tonge, who all scored courtesy of Abacadabras as well, and Tonge topped it off, having her as star horse. Plenty more of you had Abacadbras including Geezer and Pigs, who had it as star horse, while Flyers and Jac are up and running thanks to Put The Kettle On.

    Abacadabras 27.4
    Fury Road 26.1
    Put The Kettle On 27.2
    The Big Breakaway 13.3

    Thanks VTC. Good day for me. Mixed emotions with 2 of mine from last year’s competition running so well (Cloudy Glen & Ramses De Teille) as I’ve spurned them this year but it’s nice to finally get some points on the board! Serves me right for not at least backing them.

    Nice to be off the mark, although Saint Sonnet has already been consigned to the transfer list and i’m eagerly awaiting the transfer window to get him out!
