Anyone else have the same problem as me this week. I made my sub to the obvious rags to Riches yesterday, all made fine, yet today it shows I hadn't made it. Luckily it came second, but I definitely made the sub. :x

Hard road

Post by SamD »

Same change here was successful on Friday.

But, earlier in season, had identical problem to one described. Tried to bring in horse with intention of making it the Stable Star and clicked 'update' thinking all was well. Noticed new selection wasn't showing the next day, possibly because two confirmations are required: first for transfer, second to make it Stable Star.

Without wishing to rub salt, etc, Road To Riches earns 50 points for second place as Stable Star. Irish Gold Cup is a bonus race so first three finishers collect points.

FAUGHEEN injured and will miss Cheltenham. Will be interesting to see if Annie Power goes for the CH now. Commiserations to anyone backing Faugheen ante post but for the purposes of anyone playing catch up in this game, it might make things more interesting.

Met up with JOCI Club lunchtime in London over a beer to discuss our transfer strategy in the run up to Cheltenham. Tough decisions to be made. After this weekend, we will be sacrificing a couple of weekends worth of selections to focus on getting the strongest possible team for all the bonus point races at the Festival. Expect to drop down the leaderboard a bit, but will hopefully bounce back at Cheltenham.

I'm sure these are the right tactics with Cheltenham and all the bonus races looming. I now have at least one horse in each of the bonus races, so the only thing to decide is which one to put my star on. Douvan seems the obvious one, but it could equally well go on Thistlecrack, Un De Sceaux, Min or Annie Power.

I can't understand why 7,365 players still have Faugheen in their stable, unless they are replacing one of the recent missed 'penalty kicks' (Peace And Co & Dodging Bullets) with someting else. Unbeleivably 2,035 players still have Coneygree!! Scope for transferring the elite horses is so limited, that if you don't plan well ahead you can get stuck with horses you don't want, and which probably won't score you any points.

You don't need to take it out until next weekend really. That will leave a few with Peace and Co to run with I should imagine. I will have runners in most of the bonus races myself. I'm too far behind not to gamble so I've overlooked Annie Power in favour of The New One.

The weakness of the game is that odds don't matter. Getting 50 pts. for a 20/1 winner hardly seems right.

That is far too easy to do. Saturday morning when one is messing about with fantasy football would be much better than on Friday when one normally isn't thinking about any fantasy games.

@Sam - probably all 8 depending on O'Leary insisting that Meade runs Road to Riches in the Ryanair. But I had an advantage as having forgotten to make transfers three Friday's I've been able to ignore the main comp for some weeks now. :oops:

It would be interesting to see who's got what. This is my hopeful collection.

15/3 Arkle ........Douvan ***
15/3 Ch. H........The New One.
16/3 RSA..........More of That
16/3 Ch Chase...Un de Sceaux Sprinter Sacre
17/3 JLT..........Garde La Victoire L'Ami Serge (doubtful or maybe Arkle)
17/3 Ryanair.....Road to Riches (or maybe Gold Cup)
17/3 World H....Thistlecrack
18/3 Gold Cup...Djakadam

Aproaching Cheltenham

Post by SamD »

@ topspur; unfortunate & commiserations.
As Spencer4 notes, I too mucked up two transfer opportunities this season.
Yes, Striker's suggestion of Sat deadline [11am or noon] would be easier to remember.
Any other feedback? I'll put them to organiser, along with request for two transfers a week.

Thanks, 7lb claimer. Own ten could be better:
  • 15/3 Arkle ........Douvan (SS); alt entry in JLT Nov Ch
    15/3 Champ H....Annie Power
    16/3 RSA Ch....... - - *
    16/3 Qn M Ch.....Un de Sceaux; Sprinter Sacre
    17/3 JLT Ch.......Douvan (?)
    17/3 Ryanair......Road to Riches; Champagne West: both also in Gold Cup
    17/3 World H.....Thistlecrack
    18/3 Gold Cup....Djakadam; Road To Riches (?); Champagne West (?)
Stable includes two Grand National entries, Silviniaco Conti & The Last Samuri *
Aimed (successfully) for 60 points with latter last Sat 5th instead of trying to find RSA Chase winner.

I've got Many Clouds stable star :) for some reason even after putting in Annie Power this week. I don't think any of us were near enough to win the 10k anyhow. Also got Silviniaco Conti that I meant to transfer out for No More Heroes or More of That. Plus have Un de Sceaux,Douvan,Thistlecrack,Djakadam,Yanworth,Min,Vroum Vroum Mag and Sprinter Sacre. I guess that makes SamD joint first overall in the monthly also(with just the 77 others).

This is my twopennyworth.

15/3 Arkle ........Douvan ***
15/3 Ch. H........ Identity Thief
16/3 RSA.......... More of That, No More Heroes
16/3 Ch Chase... Un de Sceaux
17/3 JLT.......... Bristol de Mai
17/3 Ryanair..... Road to Riches
17/3 World H.... Thistlecrack
18/3 Gold Cup... Djakadam

Non Bonus - Min

Reasonably similar to yours 7lb Claimer. Actually I may be hoping that you beat me, as that might improve my chances in The Jumps where my stable, or according to bloggie's other post, my tenfold, has the following eight for Cheltenham; Douvan, Un de Sceaux, L'Ami Serge, Thistlecrack, More of That, and unfortunately three in the Gold Cup, Don Cossack, Vatour, and Smad Place. Anyone got O'Leary's number so I can persuade him to run Vatour in the Ryanair. It wouldn't be Vatour's points so much as stopping Road to Riches. In a similar vein I'm rooting for The Jumps unlisted Identity Thief simply to thwart any other horse winning the Champion Hurdle.

All pretty useless really, got side-tracked when a sub didn't register and lost heart. Fun though.
