The answer to Monday’s prohibited substance has been provided by Seanrua (not so bad at names after all) and ‘Dad’ (Trojan) let us know he knew too! It was indeed Roger Miller singing “King of the Road”.

Today’s flight of fancy is: What character said he was “Bored bored bored bored bored!”

As a reminder and to avoid disappointment (!) the month's winners will need to comply with rule #1:

1. Qualifying for the month needs a minimum of 5 races to have selection(s) in.

Stan Boardman.

The answer to Tuesday’s flight of fancy was given by Nofinepix.

Today’s find the brain-cell is: “All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health…” was in response to what question?

What have the Romans ever done for us?

That was quick
Correct NFP I would think

That must be a record. Well done!

Ling 4.20

ESCOBAR 0.5 point e/w

That is 1 point in total staked.

Gives others a chance to overtake me for this month.

As you need a minimum of 5 for the month I'll be a little greedy today.

Doncaster 3.25 - Steel Blue (e/w)

Oldtimer

Doncaster 4.30 Hallucinate EW

4.00 Donc Autumn Glory

4.30 Clon. Endless Magic 1pt win

5.00 Donc Ticero

Thursday’s Final Fling

The last day of action for March, and the potential medallists were out in force!

Trojan kept up his impressive recent form to land the Profit crown, and Old-Timer did just enough to hang on to the Strike Rate sceptre! The third noteworthy competitor this month was Rab. The three of them shared the medals in both categories.

Seanrua may wish to consider what happened in the ‘Profit’ stakes, as his performance in the Strike rate saw him finish 4th. (WP had only 3 selections). Perhaps consider less EW bets or use 0.5pt EW.

Nofinepix obviously decided to let me beat him in both categories, and did just enough today to let BlackCat pass without me having to make a selection! Thanks for that.

The last one I’ll mention is Ectoo, who had some bad luck with seconditis this month. They’ll all drop in for you in April.

The answer to Wednesday’s find the brain-cell was provided by Nofinepix.

Today’s drop the dead donkey is: Why is she going away with little J.O.E.?
