Yeah but look what he can do.

"Halicarnassus is Halicarnassus, there are no secrets with him. He's been around the world and is as sound and fit as ever. He'll take in similar handicaps as he did last year with the long term target being the mile and a half Group Two on Super Thursday. He trains himself these days - he even books his flights himself online!" - Mick Channon

My question / suggestion for Brock is this... should there be a selections thread as well as a chit chat thread for the people who are gonna make cheerleaderesque comments (you think Hali is bad? Wait till Youmzain gets over there! ) or is it easy enough for you to sort through the chatter?

Glad you're playing Gamblin4evah and you too Chuckles!

Jaripeo dear are you playing the first week or waiting?

Dear MMST:
Since the first day of course I will playing.

I read something about the rating over there.

By the way, there is no more handicapping that the one you make for your on. If you dont know how to read the footnote jut dont cry for thinking about others tastes.

Of course I agree with you dear one.

I changed my mind... I'll play this week.

R2... Diamond Laura (alt. Jodi)
R3... Clasp (alt. Lizard's Desire)
R4... Drunken Sailor (alt. Distinctive Image)
R5...If Iguazu Falls makes it in, he's my first choice*****. Rileyskeepingfaith
R6... Whispering Gallery (alt. Art of War)
R7... My Indy (alt. Without a Prayer)
R8... Green Coast (NAP) (alt. Lucky Find)

My alternate NAP is Whispering Gallery, in the event Green Coast scratches.

***** Brock how does this work (if our first choice is AE... do we list 2 or 3? Confused! Thanks!)

Good Question. If your first choice is scratched, your 2nd then becomes your first and Alternate becomes your 2nd. If your second choice is scratched, your Alternate becomes 2nd choice. Thats a very Irish roundabout way of saying that your horses simply move to the left when writing in priority order..
