Scores after Day 1 - I mightnt be as quick to put up the results in subsequent weeks. It was a decent day for a few, notably dylbert who napped Gloria in the big race at generous odds of 12-1 and hit the only exacta when Lizards Desire beat King Of Rome. Still though, plenty more to play for and the fact that the exacta is included means that people can make big hits and come from near last to the top.

Today's winners and their odds (in decimal form) are as follows:
Raihana 3.75
Lizards Desire 3.25
Drunken Sailor 6
Sir Gerry 26
Whispering Gallery 2.5
Gloria De Campeao 13
Leahurst 2.37

I hate to jinx your selections, Pat, but looking at the notes I made last night, I have a strong feeling that my selections will be very similar. I strongly fancy Mutheeb and Tartan Gigha. I'm going with Naval Officer, too.

Sabotage is also going to be included, I think. He has plenty of stamina and a real nice racing weight.

I will apologise now if these ones run as if they have three legs.

Will post my final selections shortly

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

It WAS a VERY good day!

[NoChanceToDance]

I started pretty well, but faded quickly before the end of the card. Very disappointed with Tartan Gigha today, perhaps he is going to be the nearly horse of the carniv this time around.

Wish I had used my nap on Mutheeb, who was a big fancy of mine today and won easily by the sounds of it.

Well done to everyone today.
