Naps Comp for April Most of us are going through a difficult time at the moment and whilst taking part and visiting the forum is not on the top of the list of priorities for people, here at Punters Lounge we realise how much a bit of normality can help. We have members from all over the world and our thoughts are with everyone. Racing like many other industries are struggling but we have taken the decision to carry on with the Daily Naps Competition and as a reward to our loyal members Paul is increasing the Prize Money on offer for the month of April. The new proposals we spoke about will be coming in although we are going to leave out the KO Cup competition until May as it may be difficult for 30 players trying to pick 3 selections each on the 4th of April when we may have limited action. The qualifying places in March will remain in place for the next KO Cup Competition. We will accept bets from any racing from around the world during April and all bets outside of Europe will be settled at the Industry SP which appears in the ATR or Sporting Life results section. (*Racing Post publish dividend prices which will be different from the Industry SP) We realise backing horses from the other side of the world is not everyones cup of tea and fully understand those that choose to sit it out until things get back to normal. I will continue to put the daily threads up and try and pinpoint what action is talking place. Just be aware of the off times, some US and AUS Racing will be very early in the morning. Race times will be based on the UK 24 hour clock, anything after midnight will count towards the following day regardless of when the meeting started. Hopefully in four weeks time we will have some better news, in the meantime we wish you all the best. Prize Money For April 1st: £100 2nd: £75 3rd: £50 4th: £25 Tipster with most winners with at least £10 profit will receive a £50 bonus All winners will also receive Punters Lounge Merchandise. Many thanks

though I'll never win, this really touches my heart. This forum is very heartwarming, sweet and does bring a loving, caring atmosphere (most members.🤣🤣)..very supportive and this forum does feel like a second home you can go to. 🥰🥰 Thank you all for the efforts, input and predictions on the forum. Stay safe, everyone and wish you all good health and happiness. 💞💞

Thanks BH and Paul I'm sure most of us are already going stir crazy after a few days stuck indoors. I know I am .... 😀 I'm on the laptop about 14 hours a day desperately looking for something to fill the time ! I didn't really intend to bother with the overseas racing but after a few days I found myself having a casual glance and the Hong Kong meetings look OK for UK & Ire punters .... lots of handicaps and not many tracks. Might have a crack at that while they're still racing. Main thing though ....... everybody look after yourselves ....... let's hope we all get throught it and things return to normal in a few months 👍

Many thanks for continuing. I too will be putting something up , need to support the best site in our field , (typically I would have qualified this month too lol ) anyway sorted a new pin so bring it on lol

I had a look at the various countries that are still racing and I think Hong Kong may be the best one to concentrate on as there's regular meetings and it doesn't look 'alien' to UK punters. I can't make head nor tail of all the Claiming Races in the US ! HK seem to race every Sunday and Wednesday, there's only 3 tracks but but only 2 tracks are racing during April There are 9 meetings in April The races appear to follow a similar structure to the UK and Ireland with some Group Races and lots of Handicaps. The horses have Official Ratings which helps a lot ........ and the Racing Post carries the form in a format that we're used to Here's the April fixture list https://racing.hkjc.com/racing/information/English/Racing/Fixture.aspx?CalYear=2020&CalMonth=04

Good luck guys and girls for next month and more cash! We always try our best even in a crazy situation we're all in. More importantly, stay safe and healthy.

As always, many thanks @BillyHills for keeping the site and comps running 👍. This is the best-run and most enjoyable forum on the internet, and I want it to keep going. My recent efforts on South Africa venues have been awful, and I don't expect I'll be any better at the US ones, but I want to keep supporting this site so I'll give it a go! 😁

Not being my favorite sport, I try every day to go through the forum and give my tip, and I would like to praise and thank what BillyHills is doing for this contest and the forum. A hug from Guimaraes - Portugal

Well done guys (25p R4 on those but great picks)

Amazing generosity from Punters Lounge helping to keep spirits high. No work for the foreseeable so should be in for the whole month , look forward to seeing familiar faces at the table again Stay Safe Everyone

Thanks Vince, very well done on the final leg win With Rivrd AWOL and the best turnout of the month, it meant that any of the top 6 could in fact take the league crown. One by one they fell til it was last woman standing against the returning Vinny, for which I was no match! So congratulations on a well deserved league title to Rivrd with 2 wins in the month.

Doesn't someone have a league table to update? Great game - I should be back playing these regularly now. I didn't manage a top 3 finish but I think I know who won 😉

Respect Foxy! I ain't too chilled cos I thought geezer would drop me a PHAT cheque in the current environment. Them coins he's proposing are too meagre to make this lady elated. With Corona & stuff, I wish my man would throw-in a zero at the end to give us a lil excitement. It's been emotional.........

NR Bemmas Boy 9.26 Gulfstream 12/1 Ladbrokes

Tampa Bay Downs 6.21 MIGHTY GHOST IF N/R Gulfstream 7.00 LATE JUDGEMENT

Thankfully Australian racing was able to continue after a scare earlier in the week and their looks to be a few betting opportunties on the main card at Rosehill plus the metro card in Victoria which this week is at Bendigo another country track after it was at Mornington last week. Rosehill race 5 4.10am Going to take two against the field. Villami was really good 1st up in a Listed contest and if she can buiuld on that performance than she has to be bang there off a light weight. She has form with Loving Gaby in the spring which obviously stacks up well. I mentioned Kementari last week when he was set to appear in The Galaxy. They took him out and have decided to aim him at this G3 instead. Could be a good move if he is anywhere near the form he showed before he went to stud and as I mentioned last week he trialled very well earlier in the month. Villami @ 3/1 with William Hill Kementari @ 5/1 with Bet365 Rosehill race 6 4.50am The G1 Tancred Stakes features plenty of familiar names to UK and Irish punters and also those who were watching Rosehill last week as the front 3 in the betting all ran last week. Verry Elleegant is not surprisingly the favourite after her great run when being beaten by Addeybb, with Avilius back in 3rd. They are up to 2400m here, but I can't see the form being reversed. Hugh Bowman said he was happy with how Avilius performed, but he looked ordinary to me and he just doesn't seem the same horse as last year. Verry Elleegant won the ATC Oaks over this trip so that isn't a concern and she can win, but I am going to chance a couple at bigger odds. Mustajeer was last year's Ebor winner and he was pretty poor in the Melbourne Cup after that. He is now in Australia full time and his two runs back from a spell have been good efforts as he won 1st up over 1900m and then finished 2nd to a very progressive horse last time out. Up to 2400m will be more suitable and the Ebor was essentially a G1 handicap in all but name. I think he can run a good race here. In the same colours I also like Danceteria at a big price. He was trained by David Menuisier over here and ran a really good race when 4th behind Enable in the Eclipse. After that he won a G1 at Munich before a trip to the Cox Plate which didn't go well. That can be ignored though and I think he is slowly coming to hand this prep. He only beat one home 1st up, but last time he travelled well before fading in the straight in testing ground. It won't be as soft here and with blinkers on for the first time I can see him running well given his European form is very strong. Mustajeer @ 8/1 with William Hill, Paddy Power and Betfred (e/w) Danceteria @ 25/1 with BetVictor and Betfred (e/w) Rosehill Race 9 6.50am Star of the Stars won a G3 over 1100m 1st up and should enjoy the step up in trip. He has a superb record at Rosehill where he has won 4 of his 5 starts and looks set to travel just behind the speed from his draw in 8. Star of the Seas @ 100/30 with William Hill Bendigo Race 1 1.15am The slight concern is that Grand Promenade is having his 7th start this prep and that is fairly unusual in Australia, but his win at Caulfield over this trip after being trapped 3 wide with no cover for most of the race was really good. This looks a good race for him. Grand Promenade @ 7/5 with Paddy Power Bendigo Race 6 4.30am Going to have 2 bets against the field in this. Twitchy Frank has been so consistent since his last win just under a year ago at Caulfield. He has mainly run in his native Tasmania since and gone close in some decent races. He should go well again here. Mirette has a touch of class about her although she was very disappointing 1st up in the Echuca Cup. She has run well against Princess Jenni a couple of times last year and that is strong form. She has a good 2nd up record so hopefully she can improve here. Twitchy Frank @ 6/1 with Betfred (e/w) Mirette @ 12/1 with Betfred (e/w) Bendigo Race 8 5.50am The big race of the day and I have to be with Princess Jenni. I tipped her up at Moonee Valley last week and on the face of it she was a bit ordinary, but she was not suited by the way the race was run and nothing was really finishing from the back on the card. This hopefully should be run to suit and she has a really good chance for me. I am also going to cover Debt Agent who set some great finishing sectionals 1st up at Flemington earlier in the month. He was a good horse in Singapore prior to coming over here and he looks capable of running a good race in this. Princess Jenni @ 100/30 with Betfred Debt Agent @ 15/2 with Betfred (e/w 4 places)

No mate not at the moment but the way we are going it wont be long!!

4.30 Clonmel: Enduring Love 0.5pts e/w @ 10.00 with bet365. Thank you. Stay safe in the lockdown, everyone. Thank you for this forum too. It's really nice to have this place at all times.

Just looking at the handicap chase at Clonmel tomorrow at 4.30 and there are 3 reserves, two of them at single figure prices Puts me off spending time on the race when I don 't know if they're going to run or not I hope we never go down the 'reserves' path in the UK

BTTS+Deportivo Ocotal to beat ART Municipal Jalapa at 5.50 with Betfair Stats say that Ocotal beats Jalapa most of the time at home and also that Jalapa scores at least one goal. Frequent result is 2-1 Ocotal. I think it might be wise to think about the stats sometimes and this could be one of those times.

Mr Trotter, thats the training track in Shenzen China, its quite new and as far as I know used mainly for trialing. The Mainland Chinese Government are looking into allowing racing but...I dont see it being a betting option in the new few years.. Stick with Happy Valley and Sha Tin, you will enjoy..Next Sunday theres a couple of G1's at Sha Tin..Ante Post prices are available with some UK sites.. Happy Punting.. The other track referred to on the fixture list link is Conghua

Ye It'll be interesting as well as the draw you posted in Belarus.

The next matches scheduled to take place are coming up tonight with Jalapa vs Juventus Managua at 11pm BST (yes, daylight saving has kicked in!) and CD Walker Ferretti vs Chinandega FC at midnight. A 1-0 win for Real Madriz last night delivered us a 100% record to start our coverage of this league. Let's hope it continues tonight. I'll look to get a preview up of one of these games later on. Give us any bets you're leaning towards! @Xcout, fancy getting on board and helping me out?

I would not say weekly, until at least two weeks have gone by... because looking how things are, I would not be surprise if this competition got suspended also.

If you read it, it says thats from April onwards, (April Proposals) I wouldn't change it half way through

There's the aura I was talking about Must have been worth at least 0.1 of a goal advantage on the spreads if he'd stayed in!

I know my Dad has a big collection for sure! Going right back to the Leeds old says with Bremner and co. Some stories there for sure!

Thank you Sir for trying. For me, it will be stick a pin in. I have no idea of USA horse racing. (Oi, you lot. Bit harsh that "can't do UK and Ireland either"). But I will give it a go and hope we can keep going. 🤠

Yeah ..... I'll probably just take a break now I do find it difficult to get involved in Hong Kong, South Africa or the USA I suppose I just don't know enough about the tracks, the race conditions, the 'class' structure; the trainers ......... all the things that I have an instictive grasp of for the UK & Ireland ...... it's like starting again !

I wish I could say I was surprised at the lack of leadership and action from the football authorities but they just don't give a damn unless it's the fate of a club that would impact on their revenues or the stature of the game. I'm still wondering when they'll re-evaluate the fit and proper persons test!
