29JUN16 What if Wales win - OMG again

6 winners for us today Dave Klein 8-1 for best of the day, Dave Barker & Ian Carpenter both 9-4,  leaving the final 3 winners all on the same 1-2 shot and they were Paul Stobbart, Kevin Wood & Matt Raven.  That's 4 in a row for Matt who could easily be in the thick of it if he hadn't  had 9 forced losers.  Paul Stobbart is certainly in a purple patch as well with 8 winners from the last 10 - nice one

28JUN16 Still OMG

And a strange day here as well loads of players going for long priced runners, you know something is weird when Justin Sercombe picks a 100-1 shot!  Anyway only 2 winners Annette Berg best of the day and making a bit of a late break for the leader board with 2 winners in the last 5 and including today's 8-1 shot.  Pete long was the only other to record a winner 7-4, and it shuffled him up a spot and back into the cash in the plate.

27JUN16 OMG

Stunned and angry what else can I say - Rooney's last game and Hart?

9 winners for us on Monday 4 players with the same 4-6 winner they were Tom McGarrity, Spenser Mills, Paul Stobbart & Justin Sercombe.  Others were Ben Cheetham 100-30, Jake Fifield 10-1 for best of the day, Kevin Roberts 11-4, Kevin Wood 5-6, Stan Moore 15-2 to go 3rd.

26JUN16 Just 6

Not much action today 3 plate boys all picked the same 2-5 winner they were Justin Sercombe, Paul Stobbart & Ian Carpenter, Minding at 2-5 was the choice Tom McGarrity & Dad picked a 5-2 winner so that leaves Gerry McCann as the best of the day with a 4-1 winner

25JUN16 Democracy wins

No that's not a horse :-)

8 winners in total 3 of those Kevin Wood, Paul Stobbart, & Tom McGarrity all had a 4-6 winner, Ian Carpenter 10-11 and that leaves 4 players all joint best of the day at 7-2 Vince Paige, Steve Carter, Rod Brown & Jimmy McGarrity

24JUN16 Big mover

9 winners with a stand out for Brenda Feeney at 16-1 that zoomed her up to 10th place but as she has had many more bets than those around her that looks a bit false suspect that is really more like a 7th

Also on the mark on Friday were Annette Berg 3-1, Ben Cheetham 2-1, Eamon Kelly 8-1, Gary Pascoe 13-8, Ian Carpenter 8-11, Paul Stobbart & Tommy Smith both 9-2, Spenser Mills nicely extending his lead with an even money winner.

23JUN14 Yes Yes Yes what a night

Sorry so captured by the all night politics just couldn't tear myself away better than I could ever have imagined - only sad bit was Steve wasn't here to sit there with me all night like we used to for elections.

So back to the more mundane naps comp! Spenser's tactic has worked,  5 shorter priced winners in a row including today's 2-1 shot and he has gone back top by just 14p OK Mark Sharman has 3 bets in hand but maybe better to be posting a score in the club house?

There we another 12 other winners on the second most successful days total of the whole comp!  so here's a list, Andy Grinter 5-1, Ernie Moore & Jimmy McGarrity both 4-1, Gerry McCann & Richard Pascoe both 100-30, Helen Fahey, Matt Raven & Jason McConkey all 2-1, Kevin Wood 7-4, Robert Logan 8-15, Stan Moore best of the day 8-1, & finally Tommy Smith also 2-1.

22JUN16 Brexit here we come

Just 4 winners today the 10-1 winner secured by Paul Stobbart got him the best of the day and brought up a very nice treble.  The other were Richard Pascoe 7-2, Spenser Mills 9-10, & Gerry McCann 5-2

21JUN16 mega day

12 winners today Starting with Andy Grinter 8-1, Ben Cheetham 2-1 that's 4 winners from the last 5 for Ben, Ernie Moore a nice little consolidating bet at 5-4 not quiet so little as Spenser's one that won at 1-12!.  Continuing Gary Pascoe 3-1, Helen Fahey brought up a treble with a 5-2 winner too little too late I think, Justin Sercombe & Kevin Roberts both evens, Matt Raven brought up a double with a nice 13-2 winner to sit 20th on -46p, Paul Stobbart returned to the leader board with a nice 5-1 winner & finally tom Feeney 2-1 and a best of the day for tom McGarrity with a nice 9-1 winner but he still sits at -£19.00!

20JUN16 football took over

Assume you all guessed why no update Monday night and expect the same next week :-)

Anyway 9 winner and here they are Paul Stobbart top of the list 9-2, Martin Long 4-1, Vince Paige 7-2, Steve Carter, Richard Pascoe & Helen Fahey all 3-1, Spenser Mills 15-8, Brenda Feeney 7-4, & finally and least Matt Raven 10-11.

19JUN16 Fathers Day :-)

7 winners today and a very rare occasion I (jointly with Brenda Feeney) had best of the day a 9-1 winner as a measure of how bad I have been that still only lifts me to 52nd spot - LOL, however for Brenda it was much more significant taking her positive and just off the leader board in 16th.

The other 5 winners were Tom Feeney 4-1 to lift a spot and go above Vince Paige into 4th, a nice 4-6 winner for 2nd place Spenser Mills a good tactic to reel the leader in, Ben Cheetham brought up a treble with a 7-2 shot the same winner as Colin Warmington and finally Helen Fahey 11-10.

18JUN16 final day

Sweeping in with a great get out of jail for the meeting in the lucky last was Stan Moore 12-1 and the best of the day - it lifted him into the final money spot 9th.  There were 5 other winners and they were Ben Cheetham bringing up a double at 5-2, Carol Carter 11-4, Roger Dore finally and belatedly getting off the mark with a 7-4 shot, Toby Griffiths with a nice 10-1 winner his second of the royal meeting & finally Tommy Smith 7-1 to move positive and into 16th just one spot and 13p off of the leader board.

17JUN16 New Leader

Mark Sharman takes over at the top one of five players who picked Kinema at 8-1 yesterday, the other four were Carol Carter, Mark Nutting, Tim Catlin (having a very good Royal Ascot 3 from 4 winners so far) & Kevin wood to move himself back onto the leader board.  Ben Cheetham 7-4, Brenda Feeney 7-1, Best of the day for Jon Curtis 16-1 were the other winners on a good day for the team.

16JUN16 Days 2 &3

First Wednesday, just 5 winners Spenser Mills 5-1 so extended his lead, Tim Catlin brought a well needed double with a nice 10-1 winner the best of the day.  The other 2 were Justin Sercombe 2-1, Gerry McCann & Rob Brown both 11-4.

Today was a little better 6 winners Annette Berg 11-2, Gary Pascoe 15-8, Helen Fahey & Ian Carpenter both 10-11. Mark Sharman best of the day 13-2, which closed the gap at the top again, Natasha Tizzano 7-4 to move up a few spots.

Go England - looks like we are going to win it then :-)

Correction to Monday

Firstly I'm back in action and nice one England

Ernie Moore had a 14-1 winner that wasn't recorded, the story was that he timed his horse as 7.30 Roscommon an abandoned race so I recorded a NR, actually it was running in the 8.30 which did go off and it won.  That is an acceptable circumstance so the 14-1 has been credited it lifts him to 6th.

FYI - if I didn't allow horses selected that were mistimed or misspelt then half the selections wouldn't count :-)

I'm now going to catch up

14JUN16 Day1 Ascot

43 bets today and all but three of them were at Royal Ascot, however the best success came from those 3, Natasha Tizzano found a cracking 16-1 winner to zoom up to 11th.  She was one of 8 winners four winners were 6-1 Vince Paige, Tim Catlin, Ernie Moore, & Toby Griffiths.  The final 3 were Matt Raven, Robert Logan & Richard Pascoe who all had the very impressive Caravaggio at 13-8.

13JUN16 3 points on Thursday then!

4 winners for us on a pretty disrupted Monday, they were Tommy Smith 13-8, Justin Sercombe 4-9, Ben Cheetham 11-4, and super best of the day 11-1 for Mark Nutting.

12JUN16 Very Quiet

Just 3 winners today Justine Sercombe 2-1, Richard Pascoe again 8-11 and Ian Carpenter 4-5, so rather surprisingly Justin gets best of the day.

Quite a lot of players gone dormy this week we now have 13 people with 29 bets to have in the final 29 days so watch out for forced losers and check the excel in case it is you!

I will swap across shortly to show number of bets remaining on the leader board, probably when the maximum odds restriction goes in 8 days time.

11JUN16 both excellent

That's the rugby and football teams what a result in Brisbane! and well played in Marseille if unlucky.

6 winners joint best of the day for Dave Klein & Andy Grinter 10-1 for them both, Annette Berg 11-2, Richard Pascoe 7-2, Helen Fahey 11-4, Gary Pascoe 5-2 to nudge up one place to 6th.

10JUN16 Friday

Just 3 winners and a new leader Spenser Mills took over top spot with a 5-1 winner, Paul Stobbart 8-11 & Kevin Roberts 8-11 was it!

08 & 09JUN16 double day

Sorry major laptop disaster last night but now sort of repaired!

Wednesday just 4 winners and 3 of them the same 10 point 11-4 winner for Vince Paige, Justin Sercombe & Ian Carpenter, leaving just Richard Pascoe with a 3-1 winner his 5th in a row to take the best of the day prize and move onto the leader board.

Today there were 7 winners Justin Sercombe & Mark Sharman the same 8-11 winner, Pete Long  & Matt Raven the same 2-1 winner.  Best of the day went to Adam Slater with an 8-1 winner but more significant of the day fell to Spenser Mills 13-2 to go 2nd and not far behind.  Finally there was Richard Pascoe again to bring up his 6 timer with an even money shot.

07JUN16 How to ruin your image!

So Vardy needs to leave because the £70,000 per week is not enough because he is now 29 and needs to earn while he can!  So the five years of the LCFC deal with a total of £17.5m is not enough for him to survive and he has to have more.  Come on the cheers for the band of brothers must be  still ringing in his ears - does no one actually say to him there's more than cash.  Lets hope his stall is about him weighing that up.

5 winners for us today Gary Pascoe 10-11 enough to lift him a place to 7th, Jade Edgington best of the day 11-4, Jason McConkey & Paul Stobbart both 2-1, Pete Long 2-7,

06JUN16 Nein

OK what famous sketch in what show?

9 winners Justin Sercombe nice 10 pointer to draw clear in the plate Kevin Roberts the same as well.  The transformation of Richard Pascoe continues as he brought up his 4 timer with a winner at 3-1 that was also Martin Long's selection and they shared the best of the day.  The rest were Annette Berg 9-4, Gary Pascoe & Ian Carpenter both 5-6, Kevin Wood also now close to even so in the hunt after today's a 7-4 winner, and finally Robert Logan 2-5.

05JUN16 Bad Luck Andy

Just 3 winners today Vince Paige 4-7,  Richard Pascoe brought up a treble with a 7-2 winner, that's 3 from 5 since he went dormy & best of the day for Pete Long 4-1 and a lift up to 10th.

04JUN16 New leader

Just 6 winners Paul Stobbart 8-11, Tom Feeney did bring up his 6 timer with an 11-8 winner and the other 4 winners were as below in the Derby a 4 way best of the day tie.  So that gave Mark Sharman the chance to go top.

03JUN16 Busy Busy

48 bets today and 13 of them at late evening meetings hence the update this morning.  Need to report a mistake yesterday (Thursday) missed Pete Long's 8-1 winner which as you can see returns him to the foot of the leader board.

Back to Friday 6 winners and only one that we really need to concentrate on that was Spenser Mills 25-1 to zoom him up 11 places on the leader board from 14th to 3rd and just 16p off Mark Sharman in 2nd with one bet in hand.  Actually worthy of serious mention is Tom Feeney who brought up a 5 timer with a 10-11 winner.  Others were Paul Mott, Richard Pascoe & Andy Stevens all 11-2, and finally Robert Logan 10-11.

02JUN16 8 winners

Strong day, best prize went to Jake Fifield with a nice 12-1 winner to move swiftly up to 5th place and well in the mix for a decent prize.  Three players napped the same 4-5 winner they were Annette Berg, Justin Sercombe, & Tom Feeney who brought up a 4 timer and scraped onto the plate leader board as well.  Other winners were Craig Connelly 5-1, Gerry McCann 2-1, Rod Brown 4-1 & finally Tommy Smith 5-1 just enough to put him at the foot of the leader board.

Derby Thoughts

Clearly not founded on great performance in recent tipping!

But for me I think you have to end up on Ulysses (7-1 NRNB Bet365) cracking performance at Newbury last month preceded by a nice 2nd to a subsequent winner who has an entry in the Irish Derby.

Cloth of Stars, great breeding but French!

US Army Ranger are Aidan's horses quite as good this year and if it is that good a horse how come Moore isn't already up for the ride, surely if it was nailed on that decision would have already been made? If it is a toss up between US and Deauville then on the basis they are not both going to be great then surely neither is therefore a Derby winner?

The favourite Wings of Desire could that just be sentimental Frankie betting? and running in an evening meeting at Wolverhampton first time up! OK Dante win looks good but it sure ain't going to be good to firm Saturday

Massaat a fairy story if it won but Burrows only has had half a dozen runners in his own right surely he can't go and win this

If I had to look elsewhere then Moonlight Magic, OK Godolphin doesn't really have to worry about the cost of supplementing it but Bolger started season well and he has been running great at Leopardstown I'm ignoring the 5th first time out this year in the heavy plenty of excuses that day. Each Way i suppose to be safe

01JUN16 England 9-2

That's the price in a treble for them to win all three group games :-(  given my performance in this comp 57th out of 59 I think I need a new betting medium!

We managed 5 winners between us Eamon Kelly best of the day and he got off the mark with a 7-1 winner, Colin Warmington 7-2, Helen Fahey 5-4, Michael Brook 11-4, and bringing up a quick fire treble our 3rd place man Tom Feeney with a 15-8 winner slowly bridging the gap to the leading trio.
