TRF 3It appears to me that The Ledge, and Aftershock have failed to post, meaning that Textfix plays at number 10.
Well now that you have actually named your team for Tuesday, I’ll take that as your team.
If anyone else posts who’s not been named, They’ll be reserves in the order that they posted.Hopefully you can get a team together, and if you do, this is who you will be up against. This will be our team for Tuesday.

TedReserves automatically go into the team if any of your players fail to post, with your first reserve coming in for your first missing player, and your second reserve coming in for your second missing player etc etc.
All selections must be posted before the start of the first race at Goodwood.
Dutching is allowed, yes.
Harrow?
I can only dream of living in Harrow, but here I am 3 miles away stuck out here in Hayesghanistan
I am deadly serious when I say that I doubt that you could find 10 people who have done more placepots than me.
I’ve been a regular player since the day the bet was invented, and I often do more than one perm at each meeting. I’ve been known to do about 10 different permed placepots at the Cheltenham festival, and I’ve lost count of the number of payouts I’ve had of more than a grand.
I’ve also lost count of the number of near misses too, and my worst experience was when I had to cross a horse out of the last leg because I was about a pound short of what I needed, and the bloody thing came paced at 20/1 with two other 20/1 shots alongside it.
I had a 60p perm running on to that last leg, and the placepot paid £19,000.The problem now is that punters have learned how to play the bet, and the really big payouts are few and far between nowadays in comparison to what they were 10 years ago. In those days a 12/1 winner of a 4 horse race would almost certainly guarantee a big payout, even if a lot of fancied horses came placed in the other races.
It doesn’t work in quite the same way nowadays.
I can remember my mum had something like 10p each way on Team Spirit back in the 60’s and I also remember the woman in my local sweet shop asking me to give her a tip for the grand national as my dad had told her I was quite good/lucky at picking winners.
My advice? Gay Trip, and it hacked up.
I once backed two horses ante post when there were still about 95 horses in the race. They were Maori Venture at 50/1 and The Tsarevitch at 33/1
I was quite pleased with myself when they came home 1st and 2nd on the day.My favourite grand national winner was Mr Frisk, I thought he was an absolute certainty and I couldn’t possibly see any other winner.
A few days before the race the firm I was working at at the time organised a sweep and asked me if I wanted to be involved. I said "Has anyone drawn Mr Frisk?" and I was told they had, so I didn’t enter.
