Report:

One of the weekends to establish yourself in the comp with 4 races to earn points. The week started off with threads disappearance for those who don't frequent the talk section. Last place with one point Ted Howard was fuming how could get off the bottom if he can't effen find it so he asked the question on the front page of it's whereabouts. Contestant Von Ryan Vanderwert replied that some bright spark had shifted it only to find Springsteen "The Boss" Gallagher chimed in to say he's the bright spark. Vanders was then warned not to play with fire too late my man you've burned at the stake and are now to be known as Joan of Arc in the ladders. Special mention to Ron "the poet" Hunter on his efforts lobbing an outsider in the MDC and surge to the top so expect to find a 12 verse poem being penned on that feat in the talk section by him soon. Father Frank didn't see Anthony Van Dyck and neither did I Father he's a very small horse but has a big heart with the top weight and outside gate to still run 2nd was a huge effort, run of the day. - The Convener
