Fat Jockey Yankee's 2023 - Captain's Required!

[Kevloaf]

Whether this year or another year, I really like the idea that the previous years DG cup winner gets the opportunity to do a "free choice"/overall Yankee for the forum for the subsequent years Cheltenham

Yes, me too. I'd forgotten about it to be honest but if that wasn't a rule before, it is now.


Mighty - you are going to be the 'overall' yankee captain.




Thanks to everyone for throwing their hats in the ring.... I will sort otu who the captains are for Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday before I go to bed.

That thread still makes me laugh. Instant classic.

Haha yeah, I got confused the other day as I got The Giant Bolster mixed up (simialr profile picture) and was reading his diary thinking, this is amazing, how on earth was this the same guy.... and I realised a few days later it wasn't!. .... won't name and shame ....

[EnvoiAlien]

I'm sure Kevloaf will explain all but just a reminder that when captains are decided and yankee threads created the idea is that there's discussion/suggestions for each captain to consider, and next Sunday the captains will confirm their picks.
It's not a case (as we had one year) of a captain simply picking 4 horses, like everything in here there should be good discussion/debate...

You have no idea how happy I am that you pointed this out as I'd have done exactly what this rogue captain did

Still have it saved as a bookmark haha The King Pimm was a captain the same year and hasn't been active since last Cheltenham. Hope everything is well with him.

Yeah, where is Pimm, can someone message him ?
Been wondering about him.

You know for ages I thought his username was punterplonker, I assumed his was just taking the piss out of himself, took me about 2 years to realise there was an ‘or’ in the middle….

Cheers Kev, happy to. Will have to see if I can go back and see what the criteria were last year and then get some input!

[Always a Claimer]

For those that are selected, do the individuals create their own thread or is done by a mod?

Kevloaf will set up each thread…

[Evesham Road]

I'm also happy, in fact keen, to volunteer for this. I missed out last year by virtue of not quite being new enough so will put my name forward in case that ends up not being a requirement this time.

I nearly posted and tagged him in earlier today in this very thread, how weird is that!

Yeah he is a great guy, he was in the whatsapp out of the season, anyone heard from him?

One of the funniest things I’ve seen on here, he wasn’t for changing his mind

Thinks i can remember TKP having problems. He did a post about it but cant find. not sure if he had to go away for work and wife and kids going back to her mums but something rings a bell. Was a top bloke.

Not really my place to say obviously but just for those possibly worrying, TKP is alive and well haha. He still reads the forum but just has less time to post. He’s said he will try to get on here this week though if he can. One of the good guys.
