A ding dong battle developing at Gowran between Thehorsesmouth and Newapproach, with two forecasts amongst their selections and only a faller separating them.
Its still all to play for in the last two races.

 

[Maxbet]

With the last four selections duplicated it would seem the match between Tout Seul and Beef or Salmon was over before half way and Tout Seul becomes the first into the quarter finals.

 

[Kauto]

Better to be lucky than good. Unlucky tiggers you are the moral victor.

 

[Maxbet]

What drama in the penultimate at Ascot with several competitors seemingly having the points in the bag until Wilde Blue Yonder's fall at the last.

Baracouda's just gone from punching the air with delight to throwing the coffee table through the tv.

Everything to play for in the last......

 

[thehorsesmouth]

Just saw my selection in the last at Gowran (Whisper Rock) is a NR, is it too late to select a replacement? Don't worry, I won't select the same hoss as New Approach!

If I'm allowed a sub I'll go with 'Honeys Joy'

 

[Maxbet]

Bobcat Billy completes a 680/1 across the Williams card at Haydock but helps non of our Haydock contestents....urhhhhh

Fire away you had 30 mins

 

[baracouda]

I strongly object to your decision Maxbet . How can Spoilsport be allowed to change his selection from unnamed fav . in the 2.40 Ascot ?

When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?

 

[baracouda]

Well played Mr.'M'. now stuff it up that CHEAT and Spoilsport.

 

[baracouda]

When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?

I can't fathom how you can replace an unnamed fav in the race ,you had already made your selection as such . It was not a N/R . I'm dismayed.

 

[baracouda]

Objection and stewards enquiry

 

[chroniclandlord]

Congratulations Flemenstar, good luck in the next round.

 

[Len Madeiros]

Thank you, Bara. You were very unlucky in the last two races - I wish you better fortune when it comes to real punting.

Rules

Each competitor chooses one selection per race throughout the card at Cheltenham and must post them on here between now and 30 minutes before the first race Saturday.

5 points awarded for a winner, 3 points for a second, and 1 point for a third. A dead heat will mean the points are equally divided accordingly.

In case of a tie, then firstly the amount of winners, followed by seconds and then thirds will count, should this fail to separate then a profit to loss ratio will apply.

Non runners. If a horse is declared a NR then the player can replace it with a substitute before the race actually starts as long as it is recorded on here before the official off time of the race.

In order to determine home advantage for the next round, everyone must make selections in round 1, that includes those players that received a by, this should maintain interest for all and maximise involvement.

Home advantage really comes into play in the next round. It means that the players who score the highest get to choose the meeting in the next round against their new opponents, and the away player must post their selections by midnight of the Friday evening before.

Round 1 Saturday 25th January at the Cheltenham Trials Meeting.

Round 2 Saturday 8th February.

Round 3 Saturday 15th February.

Quarter finals Saturday 8th March.

Semi Finals over two days....Tuesday 11th March and Wednesday 12th March at the Cheltenham Festival.

The final over two days....Thursday 13th March and Friday 14th March at the Cheltenham Festival.

Tic-tacs.

 

[thehorsesmouth]

Well done New Approach, easy as you like in the last!

 

[baracouda]

Yes and.. ? Am I the only one on here who thinks that this is unfair?

 

[SlimChance]

Yes and.. ? Am I the only one on here who thinks that this is unfair?

Unfair that I used the rules of the competition to win? Yes you are.

 

[baracouda]

Good day for the favs.

Next week if I need to choose the meeting I will take the meeting that comes first in alphabetical order. Here are my selections:

Unnamed fav all races.

If joint fav lowest racecard number.

POSTED BY SPOILSPORT 8th FEB. 9:47PM

 

[baracouda]

How can you replace a fav. It wasn't a non-runner?

 

[Tout Seul]

Tough luck Beefy. At one stage I thought yours would win the first.
