29jun15 late

People keep picking stuff in the last in evening meetings so hence so late

Just 5 winners on Monday on a slow day, joint best of the day at 9-2 were Jade Edgington and Tommy Smith, Adam Slater notched up his 7th winner with a 15-8 shot to move within £2 of the leader as they both continue to slug it out at the top.  Other winners were Chris Pascoe at 4-7 to go 4 from 5 and move onto the leader board in 11th and Jay Lewis 10-11.  

28jun15 Spain

Away for a couple of days in Spain with Sue so might be some delays.

Sunday saw 6 winners best of the day was 3-1 for Dave Kingsbury and on Saturday the best was Terry Matthews 15-2 to go 3rd

26jun15 7 up!

7 winners best of the day was Mark Sharman who got off the mark with a 15-2 winner, others were Matt Harrison who brought up a 4 timer with a 6-4 winner, Kevin Wood 5-2, Jay Lewis evens, Gary Pascoe off the mark with a 3-1 shot, and Adam Slater again 11-4.  Oops forgot Rod Brown who picked a 100-30 winner in the 9.20 on a Friday night nearly said I didn't get it on time :-)

25jun15 Just 4

Yep that's all but some nice ones Kevin Roberts hit his 2nd big winner of the comp at 10-1 to move clear at the top and take the best of the day title.  Pete Long hit a very nice 7-1 winner to move back onto the leader board, the others were Matt Harrison 6-4 and Steve Carter 7-4.

24jun15 U21 :-(

5 winners on Wednesday Dave Klein 13-2 was the best and saw him onto the leader board pretty early in his first comp. The other 4 were Michael Brook 100-30, Pat Quin Snr & Tom Feeney both 5-1, Matt Harrison 11-4.

23jun15 who didn't get a winner!

Easier to go through that list today! 12 winners from just 32 bets.  So picking just a few of the highlights best of the day was a fine 16-1 winner for Jay Lewis to move 3rd, Jon Curtis 4-1 in his first bet to go straight onto the leader board, Matt Harrison 100-30, and  Gary Kelly 4-1 also both got off the mark.

slow starters

22jun15 Unstoppable

Adam Slater, the leader, is on fire 6 bets 4 winners and 2 seconds after his 9-4 winner today, great stuff.  8 winners overall best of the day is the very consistent Roger Dore now back in at 4th after his 10-1 winner in the last at Windsor. Vince Paige also got off the mark with a 5-1 winner to make the foot of the leader board for the first time this comp.   Carl Dean, Colin Warmington & Pat Quinn Snr all got off the mark on the same 7-4 winner, Dave Kingsbury 2-1 and Rod Brown 9-4 were the final 2.

The reigning Champion begins his defence of his crown tomorrow - look out :-)

21jun15 End of first week

5 winners today the best of which was 7-2 for Tom Feeney that took him onto both leader boards, Martin Long got off the mark with a 4-7 winner, Paul Stobbart 2-1, Rod Brown 9-4,  Michael Brook 100-30, were the other 3 winners.

For those of you who are first timers the update excel gets sent out now this will come from Vince tomorrow for just this week as he constructs the distribution list there after expect to receive it Sunday evenings.

Windsor Pictures

The slide show now has a selection of pictures from the Windsor get together on 8th June - always takes a while for the system to find them but they are there now.

20jun15 Ascot over

And thank God everything I looked at got turned over!  But not the same yesterday for Terry Matthews with a 10-1 winner to zoom into 3rd and the only other winner was the same 7-4 for Kevin Wood, Ian Carpenter & Jason McConkey

Hey early days

19jun15 Well Done Ryan

Best of the day for us was Kevin Wood who got of the mark with a nice 6-1 winner and 10 points.  Jimmy McGarrity arrived on the leader board after his 3-1 winner as did Dave Klein with a similar priced winner, Kevin Roberts regained the lead with a 4-5 winner, Steve Carter 3-1 and Tom Feeney 4-1 were the other winners.

Looks like you have to be called Kevin to get on the plate leader board!

18jun15 at last nothing big

8 winners today loads on Time Test at 15-8 including the leader Adam Slater, Ian Carpenter, Jay Lewis, Jimmy McGarrity & Spenser Mills.  The remaining 3 were Danny Beaman best of the day 9-2, Dave Kingsbury 7-4, and Kevin Roberts 4-5.

17jun15 Day 2 stolen as well

This time by Adam Slater 2 from 2 and a 14-1 winner in the opener at Royal Ascot to go top.  There were just 3 other winners Pete Long & Tim Catlin both 5-2 on Free Eagle who was pretty lucky to hold on and Danny Beaman 4-1.

So we have a pretty rare event Pete Long on both leader boards! - won't last :-)

16jun15 Day 1

and no doubt who stole it that was Kevin Roberts with his 16-1 winner Kevin Dighton started well with a nice 5-1 winner which really we should have all been on Mullins with Moore up! 4 people picked the 11-8 winner in the opener Jade Edgington, Adam Slater, Dave Kingsbury & Paul Stobbart leaving me (Maurice Edgington) as the only other winner at 8-15

AND WERE OFF

46 paid players for this one with just Andy Vinall to decide (Vince sorting today)

Good luck everyone - especially me :-)

Comp #39 update

Just waiting for decisions from Andy Vinall, Colin Warmington, John Hall & Mark Sharman and whether they are joining us if they do we will be 47 which is pretty good.

Nice to get to 50 if we could ask around!

stuff!

Lee's win was the 7th lowest total ever to be the winning score at just £23.24, and the lowest for 10 years basically since my last win which was March 2005!

We are waiting for about 8 people to reply and if they all say yes we would be at 48 entrants maybe not quite enough in the pool to hold to the £1,000 top prize but lets see.

We already have 4 new boys joining us

So comp #39 will start next Tuesday first day of Royal Ascot

Final day action

4 winners on the final day which is surprisingly good and the stand outs were of course the 2, 25-1 winners the same horse for Jay Lewis who captured 7th and Gary Dighton who just made the cash in 10th place.  So that was pretty unlucky for Kevin Wood who finished on the bubble by 18p and Spenser Mills who ended up 12th.  The other two winners were Matt Harrison 7-2 enough to lift him to joint 3rd  (see rule #28 no countback if a tie), and Pat Quinn Snr 12-1 enough to lift him to 95p above Pat Quinn in 14th spot

Freezing at Windsor and the seafood bar was closed - but good turn out and good times.

The general view among the attendees was that we should do a summer competition and that needs to start next week so will send out email - we will still do an autumn comp so if you want a break don;t worry about it we can run a small one for the summer.

Lee Constable wins

Full update will follow but very little change in the leader board on the last day

07jun15 Penultimate day

Just 3 winners 10-1 for Paul Stobbart to put him in the top 20, 7-2 for Terry Matthews to consolidate his 8th spot and the only other winner was Adam Slater 3-1 to move him onto the bubble in 11th.

See you all tomorrow and good luck to those with anything left to play for!

The Derby

Not saying this will win it but I think Moheet is well worth taking a look at today - I took 50-1 NRNB yesterday but generally now 33-1.  Reasonable run in the Craven at HQ as his first run of the season and then in the 1000g finished 8th but if you read the race commentary mess up stall exit jockey lost an iron for 2f got banged into 1f out and was still running on - I count that as good form so roughly 10-1 to finish in the first 3 looks the best value bet on offer.

My finishing order is:

    1.  Golden Horn
    2.  Moheet
    3.  Hans Holbein

05jun15 All missed the 50-1 shot!

7 winners today Barry Pemble 10-11, Jade Edgington 3-1, Martin Long 15-8, Mark Sharman 7-1 and best of the day for Paul Berg who very spookily has only had 3 winners but they all have been 14-1!  Tom Feeney 11-10, & Wayne Morton 15-8

04jun15 a few things sorted

A few things sorted in the plate Justin Sercombe, Barry Pemble and Vince Paige are certain to fill the top three spots just the order to decide (although Vince can't catch Justin for 1st) and Terry Matthews' failure to score today means he can now no longer catch Stuart Bentham so that guarantees Stuart 4th place.

The best of the day was Martin Long with his 4-1 winner to go to +41p still a bit off cash but £6.68 ahead of Vince in the standing side bet between them.  Barry Pemble and I both collected 10 points with a 9-10 winner in Ireland leaving Ian Carpenter 2-5 as the only other winner.  Those bets kept the alive the theoretical chance of both Ian & I catching Terry Matthews for 5th in the plate.

03jun15 leader stretches clear

5 winners again today but none of them generated any movement on either leader board except that Lee  Constable stretched nicely clear with his 9-4 winner against Tim's loser, the significance of that is that even if Lee has 5 losers with his remaining 5 bets Tim still needs a winner to overtake him.

The best of the day was Pete Long yes Pete Long!! 12-1 that lifted him into the top half and 14p above Vince which should make the trip to Windsor next Monday a laugh :-), other winners were Andy Vinall 6-5, Adam Slater 7-1 which moves him to +£2.43 and in 13th place and Danny Beaman 7-2.

02jun15 The winning move?

5 winners again and perhaps we saw the move that secured the victory for Lee Constable after he secured a 2-1 winner to now be £2.86 ahead with just one bet more than Tim Catlin to have.  There were 4 other winners Adam Slater & Stuart Bentham both 15-8, Michael Brook 9-2 was the best of the day and finally Martin Long 7-2.

01jun15 quiet

Just 5 winners today Tom Feeney a consolidating 3-10 winner, Michael Brook 2-1,  Ian Carpenter joint best of the day 7-1 to move back 35p up, Annabelle Carpenter evens, & Pat Quinn Jnr the other 7-1 winner sufficient to take him back to the leader board in 10th the last cash spot

All the top 3 in the plate had the same 1-3 faller!
