    Decent price yankee for me would be

    XC - Tiger Roll @ 9/1
    Ryanair - Waiting Patiently @7/1
    Arkle - Saint Calvados @6/1
    Gold Cup - Road To Respect @ 10/1

      The ante post Yankee is looking half decent at the moment. This might be the year that we get some money back from at least one of our FJ Yankees.

        Probably will be FM as I was in Australia when this one was decided so never got on it haha, unlike last year when I was on the lot and watched my money sail away

        I'm confident this year that the FJ Yankees will be profitable though

          A positive omen is, touch wood of course, the ante post yankee is still looking like a good bet at this stage.....I'm not sure if that was the case this time last year!

          It is just a bit of fun.... I will ALWAYS back whatever the selections are regardless of how I feel about them..... the only difference is that if I really like it I'll put my normal stake on , if I don't... I'd just put a smaller stake on.... but nobody needs to know what you put on...as long as we all get on

              Just a reminder that members need to volunteer, it's great that people have a view of who would be good owners but we need those to put their hands up (if they're prepared to)...

                Sorry in advance if this is me being stupid but can you explain what you mean by owners? I am keen to be involved but perhaps I have missed something

                  I think he means owner of an individual daily yankee as in the person who makes the final decision on their specified daily yankee, but people need to come out and say they want to do them rather than being put forward by others. So if you fancy a go tell Ista.

                    Thank you COD. So the person in charge their specified daily yankee makes the final decision for the forum, not just their own individual opinion.

                    Ista, I would like to put my name in the hat so to speak.

                      Ista, just been through the thread, not sure if you had already made a note of those that have definitely volunteered (not me putting them forward) so far, but if not they are as follows:

                      robith
                      KingSprinterSacre
                      Middle_Of_March
                      Viking Flagship
                      charlie

                      And Folski was a half yes haha!

                        and a fifth "owner/captain" picks the best bet from each day to create a yankee for the week.

                        I did that last year.... we had a small return for a loss, but it is good fun

                          Definitely. Especially if we are all on
