    And overall, we're doing really well. With more than 15,000 contestants, there must be a huge number of Leagues. They list a top 100 teams and we're 15th. Brilliant effort from a very knowledgeable racing forum. <applause>

    Done. How can we view progress? I started entering this but I can't remember if I ever finished entering. I don't think I did. I probably chickened out for fear of being hanged, drawn and quartered.

    Just a quick reminder that we have 2 races this week - the Yorkshire Cup on Friday and the Lockinge on Saturday.

    You will be able to make your selections 48 hours before each race, once declarations have been made.

    The card for the Yorkshire Cup is now up, so don't forget to make your selections!

    The Lockinge card will go up tomorrow afternoon, but will anyone dare not to include Frankel??!!

    Wooly, isnt it part SP based. So a 25-1 second might be a better shout than Frankel winning!

    Frankel should not be selected, repeat should not be selected. At least i dont think so. very heavily SP biased this comp.
