16may24 YORK DANTE
Five winners between us but as there were 33 selections not exactly top tipping! Those that were successful were topped by Spenser Mills closing in on 2nd with a 8-1 winner, Luke Silk brought up a treble 11-10, Ross Harvey 5-2, Vince Paige 13-2 and Robert Logan 1-3 were the rest.
Forget to mention that at the north/south convention thoughts were that we could start #53 just before the Ebor meeting (so we can go to York which is a great course) and then we could finish on the Sunday of the Cheltenham Open meeting. That's the working hypothesis so get the dates in the diary, Sunday 17th November

15may24 TOUGH GOING
Just two winners today and we are now down to just 5 people up, don't remember seeing it this bad before. todays winners were a focused plate winner for Robert Logan at 1-12 but 5 more points, and 4-1 for Richard Pascoe.
Good day at York although devoid of winners and it was a north meets south event as (L-R) Steve Taylor, me & Stuart Bentham finally met on course even though Stuart first joined in October 2010 and Steve in October 2017.
14may24 BIG DAY
Seven winners on Tuesday and some useful ones, Gary Cawsey 10-1 to go 7th, Luke Silk 8-1 to go 10th, Dave Sharman beating them both at 12-1 to be just £4.00 down, Ian Carpenter 13-2 to be just a few pence of the leader board, Helen Fahey off the mark 9-4. Mark Nutting 4-1 and Ross Harvey 4-9 were the final two.
