No problem. I think there are quite a few people on here that don't get to view them, and they are easy to get on the ATR website. So it's worth putting them here.

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.

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!!

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. :D

Percentage we have to play, Brock?

I didn't put them on my selections....but I expect a good race from 2 brazilian longshots: Select Reason (Race 3 - Despite horrible post position) and Classy-Lady (Race 5).

I will also love a victory of Eu Também!! I didn't put him on my selections due to the long layoff.
