Really like those selections and with a few close to mine I hope you have a good day (not too good, mind )

I was at pains to leave Igugu out as a I have a feeling she could be a completely different horse today. The Duty Free was the most difficult race to handicap for me, I ended up going for a value selection (Mushreq) who may not be good enough but De Kock is extremely happy with him.

I'm kinda hoping Lines Of Battle, Sole Power and Reynaldothewizard all finish 2nd..........

Best of luck.

DJARUM jumps up into second hitting 15/2 Lines Of Battle along with myself, mclem0822 and jaripeo. Its a case of what might have been for me as I was seriously flirting with Elleval as my exacta choice but declined (that would have been a 191.7 exacta!!) and had I done that, I would be in the lead by 700!!!!!

Well that race shook up the standings - gamblin4ever with a brilliant Nap, DJARUM now taking the lead demoting The Bart who nearly bookended a great carnival with a 33-1 NAP who just failed.... No more updates until after the last as I have to head out..

FINAL SCORES -


It was a mental final day with plenty of lead changes and some big scores throughout. It looked like The Bart had sealed it with a good exacta in the Dubai Duty Free but 2010 champ ryonker1 came home late napping Sajjhaa and getting the top spot with Animal Kingdom. A well deserved winner and do PM me and I will make sure I send you out a prize..

This is my annual thanks to all those that have played and supported the competition this year and over the past 6 carnivals - it is, I think, the longest running competition on here so its good to keep going and hopefully you had a grand day today and a good carnival in total. There are some very good opinions amongst us and hopefully you have taken advantage. Please God, we'll all be here next year for Dubai Carnival VII

Congratulations Ron, great effort last night.

Many thanks to Brock, been a great contest as always, and yes please god we're all here to take part next year.

I had withdrawal symptoms watching on tv this year (finally got to bed around 5am) I think I'll have to go back to Dubai in 2014. Perhaps a forum get together should be organised?!
