Need a few volunteers fellas, we need to create the following yankees:

Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Festival

Same process as the ante post yankees we did around Christmas, each yankee needs a manager to make the final four selections after considered debate.
A thread will be started for each yankee, the more comments/contributions from everyone the better and at the end of it the manager confirms selections.
Final selections to be made by Sunday 12 March to give anyone going the chance to get on, extensions may be necessary if a number of multiple targets remain.

Last year was close to a disaster but this year there are a number of newbies who we have high hopes in so anyone who fancies taking a lead please post on this thread.
Unless there are any objections I'll choose the managers next weekend, this give us three full weeks of debate.
If you have a preference to the yankee you would like to manage let me know.

So step forward Gents, final lifechangers are in your hands.....
 
I'd be happy to do one of the days should you find yourself short of options, the only day I'd be reluctant to do is the Friday due to not being around for it as I'm off out for Gold Cup day.
 
We'd need the bets well before Friday CoD. Most people will be going to the festival at some point so I think we had to have our bets in on the Sunday last year.

At least there aren't as many hotpots this year. It has a much more open look to it.
 
In which case any day for me :)
 
I'll throw my hat into the ring as a willing participant.
Equally happy to have a watching/commenting brief if we have loads of takers.
 
Think your being kind by saying last year was a disaster isty, after a disaster the victims can clean up, only the bookies cleaned up on our yankees last year, I did the Friday and it was embarrasing

Damn, that still looks good written down, what the hell went wrong
 
I have been an avid reader of this site for several months but only joined up a few weeks ago Ista to get your lowdown on Western Ryder. So glad I took your lead and got on at 25/1. I thought he ran really well last w/e given the weight different to Hendo's mare. I would be happy to take any day if required, otherwise I will happily chip in with my views. Cheers John

I would be happy to do it too although I did get to do the last one so don't mind missing out this time. :encouragement: I am sure I'll be active in each of them anyway :highly_amused:
 
This enthusiasm is making things easier for you isty, nobody wanted the responsibility last year
 
We crumbled under the pressure MrM :sorrow:
 
:( That's what I'm blaming it on. I can't go back and see what my selections were
