25jan14 High Drama

Final day drama Jimmy picked Wishful Thinking morning price of 13-2, Spenser chose Lac Fontana 7-1 early so even if they both had winners it still looked like the order would be unchanged.  But Jimmy's strangely drifted in the ring to 9-1 meaning that if Lac Fontana won at 7-1 Spenser would win by 7p.  Lac Fontana duly won but at 4-1cf giving the title to Jimmy for the second time.  Champers all round on a big turnout for the final day - pictures will follow

3 other winners, please humour me, as I finally got off the mark for the comp with a 9-4 winner removing the ignominy of straighting the whole comp with no forced losers! The other two winners were Stuart Bentham and Vince Paige both with Annie at 1-6.

So a few stats:

Top number of winners Vince Paige & Barry Pemble 32 each a 52.5% win rate
Most selections in top 4 was Barry Pemble 90.2%
Unluckiest was Ian Carpenter 38 horses in the frame only 8 winners
Two failed to register a win, Lee Constable & Danial Billingham
