    No winners today but the answer to your question is Die Hard the 1961 York Ebor winner.(if this was trivial pursuit I would be at the top of he leaderboard lolx do I get a bonus point for answering both questions) keep 'em coming.......... anyway back to the drawing board and hoping for some winners tomorrrow. Well done Steve R for beating my horse by a nifty head x..Would have had a nice double up if he had won as I backed Puddleduck at 8-1 in the race before just because I was taking my daughter to the station this morning and there was a car in front of me with 'Puddleducks Childrens Nursery' written on it (had to do it so didn't lose all today)... Still a long way to go, here are my 3 hopefuls:- 1.45 ..... ANHAR 2.15 ..... AKMAL ((nap)) 2.50 ..... TEMPLE MEADS 3.25 ..... MARTYR 4.05 ..... CHOOSE WISELY 4.40 ..... ADMIRE THE VIEW Good luck all and well done to all with winners today...Jac x

    Mark...I'm honoured to stand in the shoes of Sariska, well and truly planted and going nowhere, but like Sariska I'm hoping to make a winning return to form so with that in mind I'll be back later with my final choices for the virtual wooden spoon...lolxx
