Morning Dan.

£25 sent by Bank TX.

Thanks for all your work sorting the payments each week, must be a nightmare, & your bank must be wondering what is going off!

Hi Dan , in for £200 , will send later on today. Thanks again for everyone's effort.

Nice title Tikay , takes me back to Sea Pigeon , Night nurse , Monksfield , Bird's Nest .

What a great era that was.

It certainly was. Of the 4 you mention, 3 of them win the Fighting Fifth, Monksfield being the exception.

In a 9 year spell, wins from Comedy of Errors (3), Birds Nest (3), Sea Pigeon (2) & Night Nurse (1), shows the quality. Some memories in the trainers names, too, three trainers shared all 9 renewals in that period, Fred Rimell, Bob Turnell, & Peter Easterby.

The race title was named after an Army Regiment, Wiki informs me.   


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_Fifth_Hurdle

Jeez , how could I miss Comedy of Errors , fantastic bull of a horse. Night Nurse and Monksfield as game as they came ,
Sea Pigeon and Bird's Nest the hold up horses.

Those four I suppose could be matched with Sugar Ray , Marvelous Marvin , Hitman Hearns and Hagler.

At the time I didn't realise how good these "animals" were and that I was witnessing something unique.

Special , special days.

I think "Comedy of Errors" was named after some naff play.

Lol. Wish I read my posts properly before posting.

Obviously Marvellous Marvin is Hagler , meant to put Duran in as last name.

As for Comedy of Errors being a play, Ali's nickname at the old Gala springs to mind...

"bag of bollucks"  ;D

Hi just sent £200 by bank transfer, a big thank you to Dan and all the guys putting time into this

You'd have to send it to his pokerstars name, Raziel2689.   You won't be able to send and receive PMs for bank details until you have enough posts (10 I think).

Can i get your bank details please Dan and will send in the morning thanks

Last week first 5 legs came to over 330000/1 Makes you wonder about the bet sometimes

I sent PMs to mic5 and a couple of others with less than 10 posts so I think that's only for sending PMs

What's next? Kranji? Hurdlewood Valley?

Worked that out a couple if days ago.  Just look at the race names.  Fred knows.  Looks like one is going to have a short priced horse in it though.   Pity they didn't include the Temple Stakes.

Got to worry about a £15m prize depending on races with a bag of peanuts for first.

looks even harder than last week on first glance

Made even harder when you have COCS like Kirkland Twatright at Haddock.

Haydock going stick eases from 10.6 —> 9.8, Going quickens: Gd-fm, firm places —> Firm, gd-fm places.

You would be surprised if it wasnt racing

In for £20 again, will send on Stars as soon as I get in tonight.

what are the odds it isn't won again?

what commission does betfred/tote make per £2 line?

does there come a point when it is counterproductive to the marketing that it isn't won?

It's like there was a really good structured comp where they increase the guarantee every week and there's a ton of overlay, so you're committed to playing for the value. Then, every week, they take chips off the starting stack and knock five minutes off the blind levels.

Seems fair to say they are desperate for this to be won by Mrs Maureen Postlethwaite in Batley, who picks her horses based on the names she likes.

Cheers All

£150 for me and Trigg on route again, just put under my name and I'll see him in court when we win

Sent £30 on stars yesterday, but not updated on s/sheet yet.

Welcome on board, Neil.

Just to reaffirm, until you have made 10 Posts, you can RECEIVE (& read) PM's, but you cannot send them.

I gather you've sorted this one by e-Mail now, but this may be useful for the Scoop Rollovers between now & December.

Paid

Did text Dan, think owed 100 from last week so sent 900 to top up to a bag, abroad and can't login all gambling sites to sweat it

Pleasing to have Ratterick in there. Softish ground = frontrunner up the near rail, oi oi!

About to have a look through the races now.

sent £100 on stars

Spreadsheet all up to date, closing this to new entrants at 8pm as usual, last moneys in from people already on the spreadsheet by midnight tonight so the wizards know what size perm we're working with. I've PMd a reminder to everyone that wanted in but hasn't sent yet.

I have a transfer for £25 that is only showing an account number ending 006 so can whoever that was PM me to claim it

Usual TG sent. TY Dan

In for £20.

Can you please PM details on how to send.

Thanks

Cheers Dan,

Sent £25 this morning from A Whyte

200 sent via bank transfer.

Thanks Tikay, yes all sorted.

Leg 1: 2:05 Haydock
The draw doesn't help much here now, as they usually all come down the middle. Discussiontofollow did well to get as close at Windsor last month on a rail night from a horror draw, and has to go in. I'm backing him tonight at 7-1. Make him clear favourite. I'd be worried about the ease in the ground for  Muthmir (hard puller who's drawn on the wing) and would be least keen on him among those at the top of the market. Run With Pride had been backed from 8-1 to 4-1 before being taken out on a vet's certificate early in the month, so Shaw obv thinks he's fairly handicapped.

Leg 2: 2:50 Catterick
Good to soft is normally the cut-off point for jockeys re: whether they stick to the inside or come wide. I'd be inclined to think they'll come wide, though, after recent rain, and would be focussing on prominent-racers drawn high. Dr Red Eye is almost certain to lead from 2 but he's in no form and liable to set the race up for something. Hadaj goes in from 11. Our Boy Jack has run well twice here on faster ground than ideal and I'd stick him in too from 10.

Leg 3: 2:55 Goodwood
Stall 12 would have been an offputter with Mindurownbusiness had the ground been fast but it's fine on slower and this one has the potential to start short.

Leg 4: 3:10 Haydock
No real opinions here.

Leg 5: 3:25 Catterick
Stick to the obvious.

Leg 6: 3:45 Haydock
This is usually a race for those at the head of the market, ideally from a low draw. Bilimbi, What About Carlo and Born In Bombay pretty much pick themselves from three of the bottom four stalls.

£25 Shipped on Phone Dan.

GL US and Thanks Again to all the Work everyone puts in here.

Sent £20 on Stars, from Naughty Sofa

Thanks

All done then, three guys left all in for £25 have until midnight to send, assuming they all do its £5997 as the final total

Space for any more?

Can I have 25 more? No worries if not.

Polski Max looks one to keep on the right side of on his ponty form and back to a decent mark. Live 20 minutes s from Haydock and it looks like it could be soft tomorrow. Also like trader jack and Muthmir.

It is soft now

The best it will be tommorow is soft but more likely with weather around nearer heavy,

Dont listen to what cockright says

Yep changes are fine till midnight

Emailed you back

thanks, sent the money to your bank

Got it, cheers

Goodwood looks certain to be near heavy.  It is soft already and has rain forcast much of the night.  Don't know if an abandonment is possible?

Haydock looks soft already to me too.  Just looked at the rain radar on the met office site.

Catterick should be getting heavy rain about now on that radar. so guess that wil be near soft too.

wont put anymore up but Showboating can definitely win the 2nd leg if they go to quick.

race times suggest its not that soft Haydock although showers are forecast tomorrow.

Fred will be out watering the course

Looking at the radar, it must have rained there quite a bit after racing?  Anybody got a garden to jump up and down in?

Knobright watered earlier in the week

Before racing today believe it or not he called it FIRM :) :)

After one race he changed that to good

Martin Lane on twitter tonight said

"its soft already and slippy"

Watering on firm ground with loads of rain forecast really is as dumb as it gets even for Kirkland

Reminds me of the old Spike Milligan joke:

I tried water polo once, but my horse drowned.

it rained steadily since 5 here

redarmi and me normally pay together and he was due to pay but he isn't interested in donating any more.  I should probably be the same but can't resist another go at donating £150.  I don't have Dan's bank det's.  Can anyone send me them so i can transfer?  I will be online for a couple more hours tonight if someone could help me out and transfer for me and i will snap transfer to you.  Cheers in advance.  Not sure if Dan is going to be around

will do it for you.

cheers doobs.  Will send £150 to same bank account as you used for the first week of the scoop 6? That ok?

£150 sent doobs.

Can Dan confirm he has received from doobs and doobs received from me.  Sorry if this has messed up the perm.  Hopefully it will allow you to enter another marginal horse.

I have sent, yours isn't showing yet, but no panic yet.  I know you are good for it.

I haven't got far through yet, so perm size not a problem yet

Edit. can confirm received money

Rigged, Mindyourownbusiness out.  Coincidence that he was likely starting short?

Be surprised Doooobs but who knows.

Goodwood can take a lot of rain but it gets really testing and racing against the near-side rail in front becomes a massive advantage when it's really soft. Same as Catterick.

Please please please can someone win this fucking thing so I don't have to do my nuts trying to get rich every weekend!

£7072 and we're all done

wpwp dan as ever.  Please let this be your last week of this and you have a fun week shipping us all fortunes.

First job if we win is to set up a PO box for the bottle of Dom you're each gunna send me :D

you don't need PO boxes to send bottles of dom to you in rhino's in vegas.  I assume that's where we will all be flying!  You can do the tv interview though before the bonus next weekend as a ty!

im with you on this one, its in my small perm as one of only 2 in the first leg

Could put 8 in that race though, and it is the first.  Would hate to not make teh 2nd again.  Think 14 and 4 are definites.  10, 1, 11, 2 and 8 all got arguments for them.  Got 2 negatives given for Muthmir.

obv completely fine to leave it out.

goodwood gonna be a bog ! shitload rain down south

Yup, I'm 30 miles north of Goodwood, & it has not stopped raining all night, still raining now.

good luck today everyone.

if you can't win it, just stop this fella, cheers

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BoYiTjYCEAEAx7_.jpg)

It's soft at Goodwood and probably about the same at Haydock and Catterick.

The following horses have been taken out on account of soft ground in the past:

2.50 Catterick

3 Clockmaker

2.55 Goodwood

5 Beau Nash

3.25 Catterick

10 Spin Artist

3.45 Haydock

13 Braidley

Also, the 3.10 Haydock, Joyeuse has been kept to fast ground since winning on good to soft on her debut. That day, Queally sayed "The ground was on the slow side and better ground would bring out more in her."

More non-runners.

14:05 Haydock: 4 Discussiontofollow 7 Muthmir
 14:50 Catterick: none

 15:25 Catterick: 12 Medici Time
 15:45 Haydock: 2 Hors De Combat 7 Pupil 14 Born In Bombay

this will be won today :)

Is Dan awake yet?

Yep, have been chatting with him

Are the selections up yet?

For the pessimists, you can insure against next week's entry fee on Betfair.  If you can't face another £100 next week, you can buy in for £33 right now.

This looks the best week for a while.  All the non runners can do us no harm.

Am giving it another 20 mins, just waiting on non runners.  Don't want to leave it too late that Dan can't get on.

Was just going to post this.

Going on my holidays in a couple of weeks, so could do with winning it today, so that I can be there for the bonus next week.

VBOL, everyone.

Got a holiday planned for the last week in August.  #oneforthe pessimists.

I'm waiting to win this before I book mine.

is £50 = £100k should we be the sole winners?

Just making some plans

Good Luck And Karma Be With Us

Much appreciated efforts chaps, and I hope that if we can't be the winners, at least some b'stard wins it this week!

Will try and give some flavour of the selection process.  Race 1 we got tips for all 9 at the top and 2 runners. The selections her have changed more than any other race I can remember.  Has been really hard to even narrow it down to 6.  It might have been easier if we just had 2 picks.  

Hold please.

The best of luck!

place still going :)

See you next week

48 placepots ftw

Ah well, always next week.

Jesus,  11 tips, none for that one.  Love the bit where the owner of the winner didn't even have it in his scoop 6.  

 ;technolog;

Laurence Bellman ‏@LaurenceBellman  4h
@steveprioruk You just don't know he's well winner or last honest

Owner pre race

Would have been the second last pick for me in that

2nd race nearly as nasty as the first.  Got 8 tips and struggled to get it to 6. Races 3 onwards were much easier.

Bit of early chirping on the other thread.  I bet Tal could warn them about that.  Good luck other thread.

Winning anything would do nicely tbh.

Would definitely settle for a few place divis and somebody else winning it to be fair. 

just looked...horrible!....places,places places please

In the 2.55 the first 4 were obvious.  No love for Beau Nash and Wee Jean.  Willy Brennan is a draw pick and loves the soft.

 3 places!!??

Like I said, real easy race that one.

Now we are going. 

place outs i believe

 one place in the third race...so 3 lines still going

Selections remaining after this race:

Win: 2,162 - Place: 163,617

The first 3 picked themselves in race 4.  All seemed well clear of the rest.  Could make a case for Gracia Directa (looks a good price to me) or Hallelujah if pushed. 

2 places...nice one!

what we cheering for places in the next, still 2 left?

You know you have had enough when you are cheering on the favourite so the scoop 6 is won.  6 place lines. 

Sooooo true!

yep its going to be won

selections remaining after race 4:

Win: 646 - Place: 85,967

122 through to the last.  We have 6 places

 Come on!!.

what is the max number of lines we have if both place in the last?

place outs i believe
[/quote]
[/quote]

  12

Deliberately went 2 here.  The 3rd fave wasn't really fancied, and we would be 40%+ to get through on 2 alone.  

£2.2m, 24000 tickets still left.  Maybe get £2k or so back here if we survive.

spin?

Pls no bokking

Nope

my bad

So com how we run at this

Did we brick all outs?

Well done Dan, Doobs and all the team for running this for the last five weeks, great effort from all involved. Much appreciated.

Thank fuck it's gone!

Really appreciate all the efforts from everyone involved, it has been a great sweat, and hopefully we've all used our runbad for a while...

Well played to the winners.....

8 people/groups about to become very good friends!

Thanks very much Dan, Doobs and all ...great fun for the last few weeks

wd all. pity it never worked out

Overnight lists did well.  Took out Zarwaan to load up the nasty races at the top.

Won't be doing this again for a while.  Wouldn't be surprised if that bonus fund carries on.  Got no heart for it right now.   Thanks to all that took part.  

Doobs you did a great job- even though I have no clue what was happening I really appreciate the time and effort put in by yourself, Dan and others to try and get us the gold.

wpwp whoever they are that pinged it, its been a good sweat anyway

Thanks to Doobs and the rest of the selectors, maybe we're here again in a couple of weeks if everyone bricks the bonus ;)

I'd have had the toys out and been lucky dipping it after a week, so hats off for persevering so long!

Thanks for organising,  it's been fun

Thanks for the sweat and all your hard work Doobs, Dan et al.

Cheers guys. Much appreciated, I know you put in a tonne of work behind the scenes.

Defo in for next time we get a rollover.

That.

And thanks to DMorgan for playing banker, these last few weeks. Really appreciated.

See you in a month when it's rolled over again...

Cheers for all the hard work guys. Appreciate it.

bonus will be won next week. 8 runners locking 600k each . no brainer

Cheers for all the hard work

Bugger.

Been tremendous fun over 5 weeks, really appreciate all the hard work by everyone involved.

It's been emotional.
