FJ Overall 2020 Yankee - Captain: Punterorplonker

This is going to be very easy for me.

The POP E/W Yankee is:

- Easylands (XC) 4
- Aspire Tower (Triumph) 7.5
- Clan Des Obeaux (GC) 9
- Emitom w/o paisley park 6.5

if you cant get on the without paisley then obviously:
- Easylands (XC) 4
- Aspire Tower (Triumph) 7.5
- Clan Des Obeaux (GC) 9
- Emitom 13
Brilliant
Very common problem PP
Premature ejaculation

As a happy medium POP maybe the above could be your ante post Yankee and we could have one on Monday 9th after everyone has discussed? Would you be happy with that?

I take it that the final choices for these Yankees is Sunday 8th March as this means that all four days have reached 5-day decs (supplementary entries) Etc, and we have a more definitive position on what horses may make the final cut in the races, particularly the ten handicap races.

Yes SW, that’s always been the thinking...
 
I think the normal way of things goes out of the window when you have a despot in charge.
Hail plonker

We also have Tuesdays final decs at 11am on Sunday 8th, which makes the Tuesday Yankee chosen when the final fields are known. :encouragement:

That’s great, with 140-odd entries in the Coral Cup and Martin Pipe, we need the Irish rating tomorrow, and then to discard most of the bottom one hundred from each of those races as being potential non-runners.

Similar for the other handicaps just with lower numbers discarded as not being high enough rated in them.

At this point I am far more interested in Handicap selection finding, as the hard work is already done on the Grade 1 races.

I may put up a Handicap Hurdle Super Yankee when we are through to 5-day decs on everything.

Tues - Kildisart (Ultima) 14-1.
Wed - Repetitio (Boodles) 16-1.
Thu - Bob Mahler (Kim Muir) 20-1.
Fri - Mohaayed (County) 16-1.

Just to clear up any details here. I had only planned/been earmarked to do a sea of blue yankee where there wasnt really any debate -it was just the stats that decided. Personal opinion so far is that there is so many normal threads, hcap entries,twitter and news articles to keep tabs on now during crunch time this yankee stuff appears to be very important. I am quite happy to give this overall yankee back to.someone else (as I mentioned I was not expecting this particular responsibility).

Happy to do the sea of blue yankee still. I dont want to cause any unnecessary friction. We dont need this...especially on handicap day ! :) Sea of blue will be enough work and effort as it is lol. Good luck today all.

...may the force be with you, PoP.
 
So the yankee is the top occurring sea of blue for each day:

Tuesday = Asterion (Supreme)
Wednesday = Copperhead (RSA)
Thursday = Itchyfeet (Marsh)
Friday = Grenateen (Annual)

Brewin isn't going for the Marsh though?

:dejection:
 
Solid selection there I have to say.

Well done Rodney!
 
My selections for the overall Yankee would be Chantry House, Hold The Note, Itchy Feet and Aaramon and Capeland as a sub.
