February Yankee (The Good Things Yankee)

….time to give this a bump, although there’s plenty of reference info in the Diamond Geezer competition thread if MoM is looking for the most popular selections.

First and foremost, we obviously can’t have the top two in together as they’re in the same race. Huge difference of opinion between the front pair in the market and it’ll be a fascinating matchup. Brighterdaysahead gets in courtesy of 1 extra point so Jade De Grugy misses out.

Next two spots are easy with Sir Gino (3 NAPS & 1 NB) and Galopin Des Champs (3 NAPS) getting in with 10 and 9 points respectively.

The final spot was between Ginnys Destiny and Teahupoo both with 6 points. However, Teahupoo had 1 NAP and 3 NB for his 6 points whereas 2 NAPS for Ginnys Destiny. Now even though I’m dead against the horse myself, Ginnys Destiny gets in via countback seeing as it’s 2 NAPS to 1.


So the final FJ antepost Yankee of 2024 is:
- Brighterdaysahead - Mares Novice 13/8
- Sir Gino - Triumph Hurdle 4/6
- Galopin Des Champs - Gold Cup Evens
- Ginnys Destiny - Turners 11/4

Best odds - 32/1
Bookmaker - BetMGM & William Hill

One final note from me - thanks to everyone for their contributions this year and a special thanks to Eggs for his help throughout. Without his help starting threads when I’m busy or bumping threads to increase engagement in the slower summer months, these Yankees wouldn’t get anywhere.

Good luck to everyone for next week. Hopefully it’s profitable for everyone and the real Gaelic Cert turns up in the Turners.

…..great stuff MoM.

A busy few weeks now with lots of forum Yankees so to avoid confusion, I won’t start this months thread and the ‘annual sticky thread’ until it’s all over.
