  • Fat Jockey Yankee's 2024 - Captain's Required / Decided!


    Hello Fat Jockeys,

    As plenty of you know, we have a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Overall Fat Jockey Yankee each year for the festival, that we have captains for, that pick the final selections for THE WHOLE FORUM to back for the 5 yankee's in pretty colours above.
    • That means we need 5 captains.



    The deadline for the all the yankee's to be decided is usually the Sunday before (Sunday 10th March 2024 this year). This is to allow people to see them, back them and still be able to live their life, as it is just a bit of fun



    However, the captains need to be in place, ........


    Traditionally, it is an honour bestowed to "new" members, that have signed up in the last 12 months. I see no reason to abandon that this year .... if we have enough volunteers of course.




    ....so who wants to put their hat in the ring to potentially become a FJ legend and create history as a winning captain...... (rarer than you'd think/hope!)



    If we have more than 5.... I'll pick the captains using the horse race like last time which was fun (to be seen here) ..... https://www.fatjockey.com/forum/fat-...red#post453489


    Volunteers by Sunday 25th please

    Will announce the captains and we can crack on


    WHACK-A-MOLE CAPTAINS



    Day 1 Captain - TigerRolllllll
    Day 2 Captain - That Horse
    Day 3 Captain - HarryTrotter
    Day 4 Captain - AaronLad

    Overall Captain (Any race/any day) - erwinj25
    Handicap Captain - somer1

            Think it's been a while since you opened the books so not sure if there are that many new faces this year. If not, happy to volunteer if you need people

                    If you are new, get involved. I did it my first year on here and it really integrated me into the community (may have done more if my yankee wasn't 1/4, which is worse than 0 imo)
