Five of you on the Saturday scoreboard - well done. Jake followed up Friday's frightening left hook with a looping uppercut at 11/1, but I know you won't go down without a fight (or a bribe, or something!). If I've left anyone out, I apologise; please leave a message on this thread and I'll update.
Joe, Scrumpy Boy NAP wins at 7/1.......
It is sad to lose an accent.
You should have tried harder to resist it.
My Son lost his London Accent in a week when he was 7 due to overcompensation and now has a strong Cork Accent.
I never lost my vaguely London accent when I returned at 8 to Ireland as I was intransigent.
There is grief involved in hearing accents change.
At least Bury Black Pudding 8s available in any quality Shop.
Scrumpy Boy nap wins at 7/1
Lady Gwen 2.20 Stratford won SP 4/1.
Sir tivo won at 11 to 4
Zorken won at the stunning odds of 9/10.
I've just had the SFs through from Cartmel ,Uggys race was the fastest of the day by a huge margin, the winner who ran a fine race in the County hurdle ran to 114 ,the next best race time ran to 79.
That gives you the measure of Uggys run ,upped significantly in class.
NAP Scrumpy Boy 5.10 Newton Abbot. (I now see Alan has earlier also tipped this one. I'll stick with it, with apologies if I've banjaxed it for Alan).
To think he was still on the farm in Dec he's done really well and there really is a lot more to come when he steps up in trip.
Very well done to yesterday's winners. A special mention to Jake, super tipping.
Congratulations to the syndicate and Uggy, you must be thrilled and so proud of the horse.

As noted bellow Some lovely detail from Harry on the guardian comments. Hope the syndicate members had a cracking day and plenty sticky toffee at cartmel. I thought I could be there but had a bloody wedding reception that I couldn't get out off ...but hey ho got a few quid on EW and a big run for our money !
Looking forward to the report and the next big day, thanks again to Dilton and Paul for making it all happen behind the scenes!
Will no doubt get to meet our horses and few of you this year at somepoint! Hope the hangovers aren't too bad today ...
Saxon queen 2.52S.
Uggy has come home 100% from Cartmel whereas Rocky has returned with a nasty over reach sustained when Frost and C Jones had a bumping match which Meg did well to avoid.
Full members report later .
