FYI, if there was a big JACKPOT carry over to NEWMARKET and we were doing this for real, we'd have a wider perm than this, but being a Placepot it is slightly narrower.
We are still hoping for some favourites to be out the frame to make it pay (assuming we are still in it)

Opps nice one Micky, I just noticed I made a mistake with mine, I gave myself -5PTS for Castle Harbour as it was 3rd, but you are indeed correct as only the 1st and 2nd count as 7 runners.
As I keep saying I am very new to all of this and I am watching these jackpot threads with interest. I am learning alot from all of you so thanks and wish you all the best. If I can achieve a steadier income I hope to join you in the future.
I am finding the early season flat racing very hard to pick so I abstain alot, especially where we have very limited form from very immature 2 year olds and mostly having 1st races after a long layoff.
Eminent was well tipped on SL preview today and like Daban yesterday had a good chance at a nice price and both showed great acceleration up the final furlong. (NB I was on Daban but not Eminent). The Craven was on my too difficult list and I would have only backed Eminent if it was an EPR.
we had 5 winners from 6 missing out on eminent. i for 1 didnt know sporting life napped it or would of looked at it more. i also removed a winner which im not to happy about either. my placepot also blew out in the 4th. lets see your selections in the next phantom please mate. Posted by MICKYBLUE
Hi Micky.
5/6 wins is very good and all of the trial attempts have come close or landed which is very impressive. My post wasn't intended to be a critique for not selecting Eminent. I was just trying to highlight how difficult this whole process is especially in the case of 3 year olds making their 1st run of the year.
As I am not investing in the syndicate I do not think it is appropriate to influence selections and given my inexperience I wouldn't have the confidence to do so in any case. I am content playing small ball with the EPRs for the time being.
In Response to Re: PLACEPOT AND JACKPOT REMOVERS NEWMARKET THURS 20TH APRIL 2017 : I believe the Jackpot was "Part Won" to a 50p UNIT. So they would get £5K with any remaining pool carried over. I did managed to get 80p's worth of the Cheltenham Placepot. Cheers, G Posted by StayOrGo

I HAD ONE WINNER AND FOUR PLACED HORSES
The jury is still out re WINDFAST in the 3.00PM, as it's price has stayed solid at 9/1.
Thoughts? WINDFAST IN or OUT?
If we leave it in, it increases the cost by 50%

FIVE PEOPLE, myself included, removed EMINENT, had it have been selected 3 or less times, it would have been in.
No criticism, I had it as a remover too, but just to stress how important this job will be come go-live.
I still think having BRANDO as a BANKER and a wider perm if a roll over and we may have got it. (Hypothetically of course)
A good exercise non the less.
