JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Good luck Steve compy in good hands this week
I’ve sprayed a bit of WD-40 on your starting stall for luck as they’ve been playing up.
Some good players stuck on the big zero, but that can change very quickly.
Hoping for a win after 2 blank weeks..back later..Jac
xAll at Lingfield:-
1.05 … Cheherazad
: WON 13/8
2.15 … SUITS ME ((nap)) – unlucky 3rd
– got badly cut up by Buick in a 3 x way finish
3.20 … Mia’s Boy – gallant loser
Reserve: 2.50 … Secret Asset – unplaced
***************************************************
Well done with Galaxy Rock Des and all others who backed him.
Looks like a challenge for the lead again with Star Al and Columbus having nice winners today.
******************************************************
Thanks Jamookie!!! Are you out of the stalls yet
thanks for doing a great job, back to our Des next week..Jac

All worth it to see St.Nicholas Abbey back to his best again, my only winner at the meeting.
Thanks Cormack for an unusual compy which was great fun..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...November 4, 2011 at 15:58 in reply to: Breeders Cup- Free Comp to win 2012 Racing Post Annual #375990I must be completely thick but the compy is way over my little brain and i suspect most will unfortunately agree….. the person who fully is au fait with the rules will probably win
David (dfward)it’s just 2 sets of horses racing against each other in every race on the card, just pick the one you think would win if if were a 2 horse race and then nap the selection that you are convinced is the better of the 2.
Cormack has done all the hard work.
Go on have a go..Jac

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...There are more important welfare issues to be addressed in racing away from waving bits of felt around imo; makes me very angry.
Me too, here here.
Licence withdrawn would have been the best outcome for that particular jockey.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Hi Cormack..
What a great compy with a fantastic prize, haven’t got mine yet but it must be in the pipeline.
Wish I had time to do it tonight but off to HQ early in the morning for last day of the meeting.
My moneys on Nathan to win
good luck to all..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Hi El…
Well done for posting the compy early and well done to JamieB with a 25/1 winner to kick off.
I hear Des is off having a facial and fish pedicure while you are running his compy this week..enjoy the break Des your compy is in safe hands
Off to Newmarket Friday & Saturday, the last 2 days of the season
hopefully will get a couple of nice winners in.
Back tomorrow with my selections for Saturday..
Good luck to all..Jac
Edit:
Tough going at HQ today but managed 2 out of 8 with Hawaafez & Bay of Naples.
Here are today fancies Des (still looks a tough card)
3.55 .. TACTFULLY
4.25 .. DUX SCHOLAR – 2nd
5.00 .. INTERCEPT **NAP**
Reserve: 2.05 .. CONFRONT
Thanks for doing this El .. my turn next week.
Good luck all..Jac
************************
NO WINNERS EL
but had great day at HQ backed Fahrr & Yair Hill in the big handicaps with an each way on Roayh(looked fantastic in paddock)tactics beat him when Slumber also owned by Khaled Abdulla chose to race alone on the favoured stands rail.
Well done to all who had winners today, look forward to next week, hope I do as good a job as you…
Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Hi Des…
Many thanks to Sir Alan for putting on my choices last week and sure the 1/2 point for Principle Role will have Jamookey quaking in his boots up there..lolxOff to HQ later and looking forward to the big cavalry charge which is the Cesearwitch. Hoping that Keys is fighting fit but have gone against him today, fingers crossed:-
4.25 Newmarket ….. PIMPERNEL – 2ND
5.00 Newmarket ….. PERRENIAL – 2ND
Reserve: 3.10 ….. SPIRITUAL STAR
Good Effort but LOST

Good Luck all…Jac
xDes:
Having a masterclass with TOMMY2CANS so hoping to come in with my 50-1 nap next Saturday
It’s been a great season
COME ON FRANKEL
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Hi Des…It’s been a great week & well done to all the other big priced winners with naps up too.
I was at Newmarket today and can’t believe I had 5 winners out of the 8 and one of them Arabian Star (I got 14-1).
Don’t think I’m going to better that today (Saturday) but will have a good try.
Steve (Jamook) The trees getting a little shaky but with 4 Saturdays to go you’re still favourite to win.

3.10 ….. TIMEPIECE
Lost she didn’t run her race today
3.50 ….. PROPONENT **NAP**
Brilliant 3rd at 16-1
4.25 ….. PIMPERNEL
WINNER 11/4 
Reserve: 2.35 ….. BEST TERMS
Over the topBack at Newmarket for the Cambridgeshire today and really looking to forward to seeing Timepiece for the first time..hoping she can beat Saphresa once more.
Have a good day at Chester Des and Steve xx back lots of winners.
Good luck all…Jac
Edit:Des..Will be away next Saturday (late holiday) have asked Sir Alan if he will post for me, hope that’s ok.xx
Another great day at HQ, convinced Sovereign Pearl will win the 1,000 Guineas next year, but long way to go yet. Saint Johnny gave her a dream ride. Best Terms has gone over the top now and Sovereign Pearl was the pick of the paddock. Had 3 more nice winners today 1 from JM and 2 from Mr. Dettori.

Sorry you didn’t make it to Chester Des I know how much you love going like myself and Newmarket, nothing like being there.

Just seen your tribute to ‘Ginger’ McCain on YA and just wanted to say what a great and fitting tribute you wrote for him and El, George and Tommy who also contributed. His name will live on with the Grand National and Ballabriggs has a good chance of winning again in 2012. What a great character he was and he must have died a happy man to have seen Amberleigh House and then Ballabriggs carry on the great racing tradition for the McCain dynasty…Jacxx
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Hi Des…can’t believe it’s only 5 Saturdays to go, so pulling some of my old faithfuls out of the hat today for a dusting and fingers crossed.
Good luck all and thanks for doing this Des…Yahoo is looking very quiet these days, the horseracing section has gone all ‘My Little Pony’ with the average age of those posting 8
3.05 Newbury ….. TAQLEED ((NAP))
WON 12/1
3.20 Ayr ….. HAWKEYETHENOO *lOST*
4.05 Newmarket … ON HER WAY *Non runner*Reserve ….. SEA OF HEARTBREAK .. 2.00 Newbury *3rd*
Just back from Brighton visiting my Sister and have spent most of my cash down The Lanes, here’s hoping for a winner today…Jac
xxEDIT:
Cheers me old Jamookey. The nap came good
Hawkeyethenoo ran a good race on the rail but never bothered the leaders, but to my eyes he wasn’t given a hard time after his injury scare and should strip fitter next time out.xxDon’t get too cosy up there, still 4 more Saturdays to go and the girls are after you now

What a funny old horse Taqleed is, he leads all the way to win his last race and this time he is virtually last all the way and comes down the outside to nab it…but at last my patience has paid off in spades and the black hat takes it again..hurray
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Hi Des…welcome back after letting Jamook loose on your precious compy for 2 weeks, he did a brilliant job and now you see we even have Nathan joining in the fun too but he’s going to have to go some to catch Columbus now as the flat compy nears its end.
Great to have some more competition, but sorry Nathan I won’t be joining in the footy compy as I am totally clueless and, will leave that one to the men

Posting early tonight as off to a Wedding early in the morning, and taping all the Donny action to watch when I get home.
Have to find a few big prices to catch the Penthouse dwellers so here goes:-
Doncaster 5.25 ….. MIDNIGHT OIL **2nd**
Goodwood 5.40 ….. CREDIT SWAP
NAP
*Lost*Reserve: Goodwood 2.20 ….. FRENCH NAVY
**Won**
Sir Alan..will email you next week.
GOOD LUCK ALL….Jac
****************************
NO WINNERS DES
But had a nice bet on French Navy who I saw win hands and heels at Newmarket LTO, have to go for the big prices to catch those at the top with only a month to go before the last day of the flat compy…well done to all with winners, see you next week..Jac x
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I got mine today Cormack it makes incredible reading and the story of Chris Kinane and his amazing fightback from that terrible injury in the paddock at Wolverhampton with the help of the IJF helping with his mortgage etc., when times got hard is acknowledgement indeed of the work that IJF strive to do.
Great to see Peter Toole on the road to recovery too.The IJF Calendar is a standing dish in our house at Christmas and this year looks better than ever and there is even a Tony McCoy Teapot and Mug and Choc Thornton’s own brand chocolate bar
Something for everyone this year and all for a worthwhile cause..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Well done last week Jamook, proving you didn’t need the Gary Wiltshire book you were ‘Winning it Back’ bigtime without his help.

Some old favourites for tomorrow who make my bookie the happy man that he is

Jac xPlease read my post in The Lounge on TRF regarding the appeal on behalf of World Horse Welfare as given by Nick Luck on The Morning Line to help ease the suffering of thousands of horses transported for slaughter each year. Very emotive but this shouldn’t be happening..
Check your message inbox..thank you and good luck to all today..Jac x

Condolences to all connections.Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Well done Nathan Margot Did you proud on the day, and also Jamook if you had napped your 20-1 winner it could have been a deed heet..congrats to both of you and thanks to JJM for running the compy..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...[list:2px62rv7][/list:u:2px62rv7]Hi Jamook…glad to see you’re keeping Des’s slippers warm by the fire this week, we’re all expecting a hefty serving of neeps and tattys and a wee dram of whisky to keep us all going here.
I think Des is a brave man letting you loose on his compy after you have changed his nationality and got him singing from a different hymn sheet..
naughty
back with 3 to beat the bookies Friday night as off to Newmarket tomorrow..8 races and 4 of them 2yo races, need to do some serious homework but SALFORD ART looks a good bet in the 2.20..Jac
xThanks Jamook…wet wet wet at HQ today but somehow managed to find 3 winners
Going changed from good to soft to good as the rain poured down.
Re: Salford Art I’m drawing a line under that run the ground was probably against her too and Devdas was an impressive winner on the day.
Thanks for the lowdown Classic Punch, I was there the day she ran 2nd to Pimpernel and she flew.Todays hopeful trio:-
3.35 Beverley ….. DINKUM DIAMOND
3.50 Goodwood ….. LOWTHER
6.40 Windsor ….. DISTANT MEMORIES
