STANDINGS AFTER DAY 2:

It was a difficult day for us bar fmc as a lot of managed to find good priced placed horses rather than the winners. Some of us were particularly affected by the (albeit, just) DQ of Mariol in the 2nd race. Hopefully we'll do better next week.

The three main posters on international and we are joined by the hip in last position, it's not a good sign.

prizes TBA...

Ill make this as easy as possible. One selection per race and an alternate.


1 euro/dollar/pound/dirham on each selection and the person with the highest return over the period wins.

Good Luck!

EDIT: all returns settled at UK Industry Odds and only the thoroughbred races count!!

AND THE CONTEST??????????

Not making excuses, I've sucked, but I like to look for a few with decent odds to hit the board.

Of course now that i realize this contest is win only, I'll still suck.

Percentage we have to play, Brock?

Hmmmm, I have been dreaful again. I guess I should just give up, huh?

Surprised with L'amico Steve, did anyone catch the race? Was he unlucky at all or just not good enough?
