UDS out of The Tingle Creek - that's blown my late starter advantage out of the water - missing out on Faugheen in week one had given me the chance for 3 elite runners this month where most of the leaders will only get 2 (surely not many will have Peace & Co and the rest all run in the same week). Not anymore !

What was turning out to be one of the best Tingle Creeks ever is now starting to turn into a farce.

No UDS
NO SS

Simonsig race to lose now.

Bad luck with UDS .. Now we're stuck with actually having to make a selection in one of the bonus races :(

So which one/which race will you plump for Ashers - Assuming the remaining ragtag entries stay in tomorrow ?

With only 3 horses ( VV, Simonsig & Djakadam) having any significant number of selections - around 1500 each - and nearly 18000 stables, the large majority of us will be in the same boat i.e missing a bonus race.
Expect only a handful will be able to have 3 punts at the 2 races. How are we all fixed ?

I won't have either, as I looked at the card and thought Don Poli was in the race.

However, he looks like he will now miss the race.

That's my chances blown apart.

Not necessarily - he may well pick up 30 points for you in the Lotto at Aintree, but that's all or nothing

Because of Simonsig withdrawing I changed to VV for this week. Ireland scares me.

Website appears to update as they pass the post - amazing !

If correct only 3 of us napped a bonus race winner this week and shows Ashers (Don Poli) as a nil scorer - is there a glitch ?

Nope, thought I went for Don Poli, but that was in my WH Jumps team.

I had Simonsig in this :(

Having a terrible time in this game, chances look over before they even started.

Great week for me so far - 20 pts for Don Poli and 100 pts for Djakadam, which now takes my total to 270 pts and puts me in 137th place overall. :D

This is the first time that I have entered this particular competition, and I am just starting to get the hang of it! It is extremely tactical, and clearly goes way beyond just picking horses.

I didn't realise that there was a FISO league or I would have joined it at the start.

That was unlucky .. Special Tiara* :( Can't see much to go at next weekend so will stock up for the Long Walk Hurdle on the 19th. December Elite transfer not working out. Looks like I'll be taking out Vautour to put in Faugheen :lol: Brilliant planning :lol:

Definitely unlucky. I didn't have Special Tiara in this or The Jumps, so I've no axe to grind, but I felt that the loss of momentum cost the race. The racing establishment is like the football establishment and doing what has always been done comes before thinking for oneself. I don't see how anyone can think that it's unlikely that the loss of momentum didn't cost Special Tiara at least 3/4 length. That jobsworth Graham Cunningham argued that the result should remain unchanged because the second wasn't closing on the winner near the line. That should be totally irrelevant if the interference cost more than the winning distance.

As regards Elite selections I've cocked up similarly to yourself. It may seem ridiculous that it may even have been an advantage to have missed the first week, as for most managers the first week mistakes, given just one transfer per week, still haven't fully unwound.

Stable Stars week five preview

Post by SamD »

Looks like there are just two races this weekend worth more than £30k or, more pertinently, 30 points (x2) for the winning selection.

It'll be a brave punter who looks beyond Cheltenham's International Hurdle on Saturday where odds on Peace And Co is an obvious Elite transfer today. The Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at the same meeting looks a lottery with eight of the 15 runners priced between 8/1 co-favourites and 10/1 (Irish Cavalier happens to be in own team in any case). Beware: a course inspection is scheduled at Cork, where a 30,000 Euro race is due this Sunday.

In Fiso league, bloggie is 20 points ahead of topspur, with 7lb claimer close up.
  • 1 Liam Mannion, Polar, 310 (joint 42nd overall)
    2 Paul Branigan, Topspurs Tips, 290 (74th)
    3 David Burch, Highclere House, 285 (81st)

    4 Sam David, Forever Changes, 235
    5 Tim O'Sullivan, Ambercourt House, 210
    6 Julian Ravilious, Pigeons, 210

    7 Steve King, mentally stable, 185
    8 Stephen Cunningham, Kamikaze Hoops, 165
    9 David Browne, A Pile of Horseshoes, 155
    10 Ashley Bloodworth, Eli Jack, 105
    11 Chris Brunton, big b's winners club, 105

    12 Christopher Blackburn, Mackie's Marauders, 85
    13 Dylan Kinsella, Gallowgate Stud, 80
    14 Steve Lawton, Caleb2009, 80
    15 Phil Dines, Phil's stable, 65
    16 Mark Teague, Nikki, 65
    17 Albert Vaughan, Berties Bassetts, 30
Top two of 17,765 overall:
  • 1 John White, whites winners, 420

Well its each to their own but swapping in an even money shot in a non bonus race as your only elite transfer doesn't appeal to me - I'll risk the hit, and wait for KG/Christmas hurdle and leave the elite transfer in case of any late defections Boxing day

Main problem this week is that some of the Irish hot pots on Sunday are only worth 12/15 points and may get washed away. However I think its important to have a runner each week to captain - so ditched the idea of laying one out for next week's Long Walk - already have SDR and can add another if it appeals next Friday.

More of That seems the safest bet this week but a couple of Irish ones may be worth a few more points.

About 200 stables appear to have transferred Peace And Co for this week's perceived 'penalty kick'!!

Another 30 pts today takes me to 300 in total, and place No. 102 :D

Is it too late to add my stable to the FISO league?

Thistlecrack wins again and now looks like the one to beat for The Wordle Hurdle.

Saphir Du Rheu looked lost and not sure where they will aim him now.

Four mini league teams in the top 105 which isn't bad at all considering entry. At least Saphir's performance makes the horse to come out next week easier to sort out ready for the points fest.

Another week, another failed attempt.

Didn't even get a place in either race.

Time for focus on The Telegraph game and forget this game.

Am I missing something? There are hardly any of the fancied runners listed for the Welsh National, do they add horses at some stage?

Yes, Stable Stars do add horses most weeks* but the three currently most fancied for the Welsh National are not among top weights. Seems less likely that entries in middle and lower thirds of most handicap races will be available for selection.
