Final Report

So two people nabbed the winner Ray Harper & Paul Stobbart - well done nice pick.  For Paul not quit enough to reach the cash positions he missed it by about £5 but for Ray he concluded his fabulous final 11 bets of the comp and ended up 2nd.  Ray completely showing what a good finish can do on 27mar17 he was dormy picking up forced losers and bottom half on -£7.67 11 bets later 6 winners and he is 2nd and +£51.23, great stuff and gives hope for us all next time!

So well done to our main comp winner Matt Weekes a rookie in his first comp and showed us all how to do it and Vince of course who scraped home in the plate for his 11th plate win, at least they took him to the last day.

Hope the newbies enjoyed the comp and sorry for the occasional disruption for holidays and lost laptops!

I think I may need a bit of an admin break so expect the next comp will be after the summer holidays so a decent break picking up maybe late August - although no discussions been had yet

Final Excel on its way - Vince will contact winner for distribution of cash this coming week

Enjoy the sun and happy gambling!

07apr17 Here we go

Just 4 winners today but some of considerable significance Andy Grinter 12-1 to move 8th nicely poised just needs the National winner!  Chris Pascoe 4-1 to go 13p up, Mark Sharman a nice 10-1 winner to move with 20 points of cash & finally & finally Ray Harper picks up an 8-1 winner to move into 3rd as he continues his great end to the comp gaining 44 points in the last 10 bets

Good luck everyone for tomorrow will be at home so should be able to do a real time update!

06apr17 Last of the day

Last turned out to be the best Kieron Badger scraping onto the foot of the leader board with a nice 8-1 winner to follow up yesterday's 16-1 winner.  Vince Paige & Robert Logan both banked 5 points with a 4-11 winner leaving just Ray Harper at 100-30 as the only other winner that pushed him up to 5th and well in touch of a decent prize.

In the plate Vince's 5 points means that the title is now between him & Stuart basically Stuart needs to pick the winner of the national and Vince not finish above 3rd to rest the win away form Vince. A great plate comp this time all of the top 4 have a points total that is in the top 10 ever achieved by previous winners and its not over yet.

I'm intending to post all the selections in the national here shortly after 1.30 to add some interest - if I receive selections not in the national I will issue a reminder of this new rule, given this is a bit of a first, but that will only be to those who select incorrectly I will not be reminding people to select in the National if they haven't made a selection at all.

05apr17 Dirty Dozen

12 winners boosted by all five of the plate boys picking the same 1-8 winner.  Best of the day was Kieron Badger at 16-1 to move him just £7.46 down another one of those at Aintree and he will be in the cash.   Andy Pitter popped in a little 5-2 which I suspect he thought would nicely consolidated his spot in 8th but winners for Craig Connelly 5-1 and Lee Constable 10-1 meant he actually lost a spot!  Helen Fahey 6-1, Paul Berg 5-2, and finally Matt Weekes our leader has now probably done enough with a 5-1 winner today to move nearly £16 clear at the top.

Sending the excel out again in readiness for the run in over the very impressive Aintree card that we have for the final 3 days.

04apr17 A tenner

On what was an absolute rubbish day's racing - how could Newton Abbot be waterlogged hasn't rained for ages!!

Best of the day was shared by Adrian Hunt and Jason McConkey at 17-2, Andy Grinter helped his cause and moved 12th with a 3-1 winner, Andy Pitter nudged up a spot with an even money winner, Craig Connelly consolidated with an 10-11 winner.  Paul Berg & Tommy Smith both scored with a 6-1 winner Roger Dore 5-2 to move up to 7th and finally two of the plate boys managed winners Robert Logan 1-2 & Vince Paige evens.

03apr17 even fewer!

4 winners Robert Logan & Stuart Bentham 4-7 and 5 points enough to take Stuart back top but really still behind, but all he can do is force Vince to carry on finding winners.  Andy Pitter 4-1 to go back into the cash and Ray Harper also 4-7 to consolidate in 5th place.

02apr17 just 5

But some important ones, the leader Matt Weekes popped in with an 11-4 winner to go double figures clear at the top - is that enough? Chris Pascoe 33-1 topped the day and now goes 13p up bet he wished he hadn't had 14 forced loser now! Craig Connelly 12-1 to move into the cash and same winner for roger Dore just above him, finally Michael Brook 4-1.

The plate still up for grabs but the top 5 are now sorted so all of them get some cash just how much left to decide!

01apr17 Sparse

Just 3 winners today so not a single movement on either leader board - nice and easy to update thanks!

Adrian Hunt top scored with a 12-1 winner, Mark Nutting 8-1 and Paul Mott 3-1
