You have to expect late entries if you want those winners! Plus I have horses to ride out first!
The Whippersnappers versus The Zimmerframers

You werent supposed to spot that - I need all the help I can get !!
at least I didnt back all 9 of them...
Trudi, Captain Pricewise, close their games out with the last still to run. Jair du cochet fan (is there a worse user name on the forum?) responds for the Whippers. But Toobe, Jinny and Euro are sitting pretty for the Zimmers, and EC1 wins a close fought high quality match against Gareth in a ding dong affair, to give the Zimmers their 4th win of the day with a race remaining

Toobe

Well played IS
EC1
On a break
And EC1 reprimanded the Whippers for taking this too seriously. Is that 8 selections in the one race?? EC1, I expect you to have words with your fellow Zimmer for unsporting behaviour
he will be getting a telling off Cantoris..I'll do it now by pm

I think I was 14 when I made it and liked individual horses rather than seeing them as temporary vehicles to lose money as I do now
If in your esteemed role as moderator you could change it that would be great.

Warbler - Steve's bet wouldn't be place only as such. It would be "£50ew.." and "£50 win". It's acceptable in a bookmakers or at the course providing the win part of the bet is larger than the place part.
Great stuff Toobe - congratulations

Big City Fan?
I suggest you PM Gareth pleading juvenile silliness (a bit like having a tatoo done) and beg to have a name change. Tell him that you're personally feeling responsible for the horses death and you're having recurring nightmares and guilt trips that can only be exorcised by a name change
Anyway, back to the days business, and the adoption of super-hero names seems to have done the trick as the Zimmers start to go through the gears and demonstrate that the tortoise can beat the hare.
Toobe wins the clash of the titans and remains the only player undefeated but from their overnight position of 13-9 the Whippersnappers were brought crashing down to earth and are now paying for their indiscipline and inability to patch up their creaky system with a reserve. The Zimmers put them to the sword today with an 8-3 win and so have edged ahead going into tomorrows finale
Whippersnappers 16 v's Zimmerframers 17
A notable change of tactics from EC1 vanquished Gareth Flynn. Trudi's continual references to her anatomical assests clearly upset the testosterone fuelled youngsters who failed to concentrate and went to pieces at this distraction, so much so that Flame failed to show up. Euronymous finally broke his duck and Jinny returned to form with another comprehensive win. Hamm was left to make a definant stand to no avail. Colin Phillips is scheduled to play Bar The Bull in a wooden spoon decider (unless of course the Whippers can organise a legitimate replacement) but in his current form, you'd have to think he'd lose!!!!

Got it, two separate bets on the same horse. No problem. I misread it as a place bet. Still it's academic to the result so we don't have a problem. As was Flames belated attempt to PM a late selection after the deadline
since Sariska lost

Well as the youngsters retire to lick their wounds (or whatever it is they lick) the Zimmerframers have now gone 'green fo go' and the Whippersnappers have become red for danger.

The scores are right.
The odd number comes from Arkwright being awarded a 'walk over' on day 1 when Bar The Bull missed the boat (which doesn't appear as a result as such other than in the scoreline) . However, since Arkers had made the effort, I decided to give him my fixture (which he lost) and that's how we arrived at this situation. I duly took Bar The Bulls fixture the following day, which doesn't appear in the personal scores, although I suppose in the interests of sportingness we ought to try and encourage a new Whipper to take the field, otherwise Colin will have a walk over, (which in his current form will end in a draw)
17 - 16 it is then going into the final day. I'll endeavour to try and update them on an 'up' 'down' and 'all sqaure' basis (aka Ryder Cup)
REMMBER: 13.15 deadline - after that disqualification; teams who appear to be struggling with their discipline, might need to consider reserves

I was considering assigning names to the whippersnappers? I thought perhaps a series of banal and ordinary household items might do the trick and help undermine their confidence and sense of self-esteem, as it's difficult to get intimidated by such things as 'Irish (second class) Stamp' or 'Jair du microwave fan' or 'Steve the teasmaid T'.
You never see boxers call themselves after household items do you?. 'Sugar Ray reading lamp' doesn't really scan. Nor would 'the Clones tumbledrier' or 'Frank (the peg basket) Bruno'.
