    Crikey, I don't know who is eligible to run in the Lockinge. Are there any entries anywhere?

    Sunday midday was unfair as not everyone looks in over the weekend. Monday midday will now be the limit. (that means you too Ron on the Lockinge).

    I've already done the Lockinge Bustino. No idea what might be in it so just copied someone else's selection

    In post #42, where I said Final go then the attachment shows Laurens. I should have copied it into the actual post. Sorry for the confusion

    Ok, all selections are taken for T2.

    T3 is to be completed by 11th April. This date was chosen as it is the last day before the real start of the FLAT, which this year is Newbury's Friday meeting (interestingly the place and time where Enable's 3yo career began). Last year we had the Dark Horse and Scandal categories. There were no points awarded. I'm happy for this to be the case again with the Scandal question, but hope we do better this year It is just a bit of fun, but at least for the Dark horse prediction there will be piles of 3yo maidens (both raced and unraced) who will be entered for the week of the 12th to the 18th April.
    Good luck.

    After Aintree Janabelle slips into the lead with 13 points, NDS follows on 11 and there is a group of 3 on 10 points.

    Ahead of next Thursday's deadline here is my T3:-

    Space Walk Dark horse
    Crowley Scandal?
    Rainbow Heart Oaks
    Enable Coronation Cup
    Too Darn Hot Derby (swimming against the tide here)
    Le Brevido Queen Anne
    Blue Point Kings Stand

    There's a midseason break then until T4 is needed by June 4th,

    By the way thanks chaps. There I am cutting you some slack and nobody points out to this muppet that he'd picked Clan des Obeaux for the wrong race.

    Get your selections in

    I know and I am really sorry Bustino, it is a good comp through the year but with most of these flat races it takes me ages of research just to find out who might be running and I just don’t have the motivation with flat races. I doubt I would have troubled the scorer anyway <laugh>

    Due to lack of interest I’ve decided to cancel this. Thanks for all the interest and Janabelle was our winner.
    Please take sticky off.
