    I've subbed Barters Hill with Yanworth ................... was torn between him and Third Intention (who I quite fancy for the 1965 Chase) - a winner is a winner I guess, whatever the price <laugh>

    That's my stable star you are referring to! And I think you will find that his first victory pre-dates the competition starting!
    You get one transfer per week so I guess the idea is to look at the weekends runners and sub one in that you fancy and drop one that you know is not entered. If you can be arsed!

    EG I had Thistlecrack as my star but somehow he's not even in my list now (must have transferred him out after his last win) and I can't transfer him back in. I can see me just giving up with transfers very soon <laugh>

    Augusta Kate was in my TTF last season so she had to be in this comp! Shame I didn't have Thistlecrack, although there is still time lol

    Edit: another of mine for last season runs tomorrow, another Mullins hotpot, Invitation Only (before the insults start to fly!) :D

    Oooh and I'm up to 9777th :)

    Oh FFS. After seeing all the money going on Douvan for the Tingle I swapped one of my elite out for Douvan. Thought I was being clever <doh><doh><doh>

    Bloody system doesn't have an "Undo" function. Note to self. Don't do transfers until Friday.

    Switched Coneygree out with Altior in, the idea being that Altior may run more often to get chase experience.

    Also banged in Ballyandy, who should win upped in trip this weekend.

    For the couple of minutes it takes, why not, it's not as if I wouldn't be looking at the race cards anyway!

    I have 2 in the Tingle Creek (Gods Own and UDS) and tried to add Ar Mad - however I failed to beat the 9pm deadline by 30 seconds. <laugh>

    ..... however I am now back below 5000 :(

    There are 5 bonus races between boxing day and New Years .... you have 70 minutes to do a transfer!

    Consider this post a public service :)

    Done all me Christmas shopping and never want to see another shopping centre again!

    In fact when you've seen one shopping centre, you've seen a mall :D
