[BigG]

Geordieland, could you contact me on PM please

[BigG]

That’s okay mickeyjp, you’ve been a supporter in here for years, I have no reason
to doubt you. Good luck with Mickeys Troops

Unfortunately we have 2 stables who cannot be accepted into the league, Geordieland
and Dave’s Dorset Donkeys. So we have a 25 Stable team and that’s them finished.

Thanks big G. Hopefully be a humdinger of a jumps season.👍

[BigG]

That would be a great way to finish off this competition Mickey. It’s a
terrible day for racing today though with 3 fine horses not making it home.
Let’s hope there is less of that in the days, weeks and months to come.
Unfortunately it is exactly what Animal aid are lookin for despite any
number of horses who have come to grief when out in the fields just
running about.

[Triptych]

Agreed Graham the saddest of days for racing yesterday, Horses are so beautiful but so fragile. 💔

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

[BigG]

So sad Jac, when I heard about Abuffalosoldier I lost interest in the rest of the day

[BigG]

I’ve had a 2 day fight with the tote. Firstly it was a bot, who assured me he wasn’t a bot who
said it was impossible for the two stables to be removed. I put all the obvious reasons why they
shouldn’t be there. It’s almost laughable, at one point it said “I’m not a bot I’m an AI assistant
to help the tote. Imagine getting a bot that took the huff, is that possible?
Anyway I eventually got transferred to a real person who said they would pass it to the Tote Ten To
Follow team. It was the next day I got a reply ……..

Good evening,

Please see below response from John earlier today –

Good Afternoon Graham.

I am just emailing you to say that the Ten to Follow Team have managed to remove the two stables that were added to your league in error.

We do apologise that you were initially informed that we could not remove the stables.

If we can be of further assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,

Tote Customer Care Team.

They were still there, more argy bargy, and I got a 3rd email saying much the same.

I’ve sent off another email asking why they are saying they have removed the 2 stables
when they are still there.

I’m beginning to think thank God this is the last one. We’ll see what happens on day 3.

[Triptych]

🤭 A Bot getting the huff.😅🤣😂

So frustrating Graham but hopefully the two teams will be removed as promised by ‘The Humans’.

Tote never really got the hang of this competition, year after year it was so difficult to navigate and we never did get our League Competition up and running. I know how hard you tried to make that happen.

Best of luck to all and big thanks to you Graham for keeping them on their toes.

[BigG]

Thanks Jac, I feel like Sisyphus who had to push a bolder up
a hill for all eternity

[BigG]

Well at least they’re still on the job………..

Hello Graham,
Just an update on this issue. The Ten to Follow team have confirmed they are aware
the stables are still in the league, and are working on getting them removed again.
They will contact us once this has been done and we will inform you.
Kind regards,
Customer Care Team.

So hope springs eternal

This reminds of the time my cat wouldn’t go outside because of a stray cat that would sit outside our window
I took the stray for a 30 mile drive and dropped him off in the woods
I woke up the next morning and the stray was outside our window again…😹

Tote need to sack the IT manager and totally retrain their entire IT department. The entire website is unfit for purpose, not just the competition. The fact that it continues to be useless year after year shows that whoever is in charge doesn’t understand the importance of online engagement which, in 2024, dooms the company to failure. I still have an account with about a fiver in it but haven’t touched it for a couple of years and certainly have no intention of adding to it because the website is such a nightmare.

[BigG]

Whilst I’m on I’ll give a quick rundown of who’s at the top.

The early leader is none other than our own Jac (Triptych) who started
off with a very impressive Potters Charm in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham
on Friday. He looked like he was going to have a real fight on his hands with
the favourite Valgrand, They were neck and neck until Potters Charm took the
race by the throat and coasted clear in the final furlong to win by an impressive
11 lengths. He looks like one that will add many more points to your stable Jac. (24.05 points)

It was a different story on Friday with Jondon winning the shloer Chase. He has
some engine and he had to use it all the way Boothill and Edwardstone nipping at
his heels. He wasn’t for getting beat and kept his start to finnish lead to
win by 1 1/2L. This wasn;t just a race to get him fit, he was up against top
notchers but made it a great race. (21.34 points)

This puts Jac at the top of the tree with 45.39 points. Great start Jac
only 25 weeks to hold onto your lead. Superb stuff

Hot To Trot is about a nostril behind Jac with another double. Jonbon
(as above) is one of them (21.34 points). The other, Found A Fifty was
the other who had the fight of his life at Navan on Saturday to just get
the better of one of O’Briens (Joseph) in a Superb battle to get the better
of Solness by a hard fought neck. At least you know HTC that he’s not a
horse who’s will give way in a finish. Tough and honest, 23.58 points. The
Tingle Creek or the King George V1 could be headed, possibly both. If you
want to think far enough ahead to Cheltenham, 33/1 the Queen Mother Champion
Chase isn’t the stupidist bet I’ve seen. 44.92 points. Well played

It’s not often it happens, but we’ve got a draw for 2nd position with
Edantony picking the same 2. So all I need to say is ^as above^.
44.92 points Tony and a hairsbreadth from the top. First class

All I’ll say about the next 15 is they have about a point or 2 between
all having Jonbon ( WTF was I thinking….0 points )

Barrow raiders (better Days Ahead) 13 points and Crownjewels (Dysart Enos)
1.80 points were the only other scorers.

So that’s the first weekend by, some great scores and a few (yes me)yet to
get off the mark.

A few crackers this weekend. Punchestown has the Morgiana and without checking
I’d doubt if their was a stable who didn’t have one in it, (I’ve got 2 )
Maybe I can dig myself out of a hole.

Haydock has the Betfair Chase (I’ve got one in that too) and in the Graduation Chase
I was sure Bobby (To Madeira) would have Iroko, the hot favourite, I’m sure I’ve
heard him bring him up before but nope.

Ascot has a couple of Grade 2 races so quite a lot of decent racing on. I just pray
that we don’t have a recurrence of last Saturday with 3 empty horseboxes going home.

All the best
BigG

Nathan, poor pussy had to walk 30 miles back. Put him on a boat next time

Catherine (Tonge) I couldn’t agree with with you more. I don’t think
they could run a piss-up in a brewery. They’re probably as sick of me
as I am of them.

[BigG]

Is it finished, have they eventually removed the 2 stables, well it depends who
you are talking with. I got this….

to me

Good Afternoon Graham

The Ten to follow team have said that the stables that you have mentioned are no longer showing
on your league. If you believe that this is incorrect, can you please provide a screenshot showing
them and I can escalate the issue further.
Kind Regards,
Tote Customer Care Team

I’ve sent a screenshot to John to show they are still there. How can the 10 To Follow team possibly think
they have removed them, did they not think to have a look at our league. They should be embarrassed.

Hi Big G,

Just wanted to flag that Ive closed my account with the Tote, I’m refusing to provide chapter and verse on my financial status. Not sure if that will knock my team out the comp etc but just wanted to flag if anything looks weird.

[BigG]

I don’t blame you for a second Kendicate. After the total break down between units,
how could you feel safe with the way their information is used or indeed if your
personal data is safe?
