Stunning tipping over Friday and Saturday - well done, all.
David, thanks for highlighting my Hall of Fame error - will fix that tomorrow.
If I've left anyone out, I apologise; please leave a message on this thread and I'll update.
I'm editing this simply to mark the tragic death of 13-y-o Jack De Bromhead in a freak accident while pony racing yesterday. Condolences is such a dry and soulless word, but I can find nothing else.

First Impression EW Nap 3rd 10/1. got 16/1 last night..
High drawn horses not doing well at York today...Unfortunately my EW Nap is drawn 15...Ouch!!!
Ditto gale force maya for me too 7/4, like David i was lucky enough to back last night. Hideous to watch what happened to corebus...
Yip.. Gale force maya won for me too, bet last night at 3s but backed in loads today for a slightly disappointing 7 to 4 competition wise
Gale Force Maya won at 7/4
Oh dear. Fatal fall for Coroebus.
2.55 York - Primo Baccio
The tragic death of Jack De Bromhead is a sad reminder that while racing is part of the entertainment industry racing a 1/2 ton of horse is a dangerous business and tragedy can strike anytime. I fully understand that the risk of death or serious injury can never be eliminated, but I hope the various authorities will ensure that steps are taken to further reduce those risks.
Flightline's performance in the Pacific Derby at Delmar yesterday was extremely impressive and his next race will be the Breeders Cup Classic. Rather than aim Baaeed at the Arc why not aim him at the same race. There are plenty of arguments against doing this, but as a racing fan I would love to see this.
Pink Crystal in the 14:20 at York.
Not original, but Gale Force Maya 2.55 is also my NAP today (though I haven't looked at too many races)
Wonderful start to Sunday lounging about in bed reading the paper and sobering up with strong coffee and decided that Doddsy @York was the order of the day with the 2 tipped below. Then I got up and studied the form from which I deduced that Allezdancer was a better bet and at much longer odds the dismissed and overlooked
Nap York 1455 Ventura Diamond
The downside is that I like to see the money down with a Fahey runner but that Chester race he was 3rd in was red hot
I'm on Gale Force Mayo at York today too 2.55. Tough as teak .
First Impression 16:40 York EW Nap
14.20 York - Azure Blue
The Predictor. York 4.05
I've just read about the tragic accident at Glenbeigh yesterday. Henry de Bromhead's 13yo son was killed after falling from his pony. I can't imagine what the family is going through.
Gale force maya 2.55Y.
Samuel Spade - 16.40 York
Joe, it’s unlikely to be relevant come the end of the month but I did have a winner on Friday (Mille Miglia at 9/2). Easy to see how it got lost in the recent winning blitz. It was like looking for a needle in a box of needles!
Primo Bacio 2.55 York is todays nap,well done yesterdays winners.Very well done to Robicheaux for his 100% winning naps so far this month,I hope you are making your bookie pay.
I am going to swerve the Moulin today.
I was going to nap John Leeper in the 12.45 at Paris-Longchamp who surprisingly isn't some medieval reformist who got hang, drawn and quartered.
It is actually John Dunlop and trained by his son. Great Middle name.
I am afraid the smell of Ballydoyle beckons and Star of India is my nap in the 15.33 at Paris-Longchamp under a Jockey who has regained his mojo.
This Race once had a different place in the Calendar and I had terrible anxiety before Alleged won in 1978.
