 all settled as Vince has a 5 pointer in the 2.30 

30jun25 LEADER HAS AN EARLY WINNER

A 4-1 winner for Jake to go to +53.41

29jun25 FINAL DAY TOMORROW

Top 4 (cash places) in the plate now confirmed just left to see if Ian or Steve can steal £50 from Vince on the last day!

Top 20 in the main comp shown to give you some idea of what's need to cash everyone else in in Hail Mary territory!

Gary Cawsey wins the most last places booby prize but that might be a few quid of interest earned 

Today saw just 3 winners Adrian Hunt 11-4 to go into 10th not needing much to cash Jim Doe 5-2 just consolidating in 4th, just needs a 33-1 shot to win it & finally Nigel Chubb 11-4.  

I will be monitoring the racing from Windsor online and giving a race by race update on the blog probably from immediately after the 6.45 - last selection is the 8.45 at Windsor no 9pm at Wolves!

Excel will follow shortly

28jun25 ANOTHER TWO

Tommy Smith a nice 10-1 winner to make a late appearance on the leader board and 12-1 for Jason Stevens but still -£7.67 and 17th.

27jun25 A TOTAL OF FOUR

 Shelly Wood 1-2 & Tommy Smith 8-1 were the only other winners after the earlier excitement

STOP PRESS

 Interim update as there a a loads of late selections and I'm out tonight, Richard Pascoe bangs in a super 33-1 winner to go within a couple of £'s of the leader but classy Jake responds with his own 15-2 winner to keep the gap at +£10

More to come later/in the morning 

26jun25 SOME SIGNIFICANT WINNERS

Most notably Jim Doe 9-1 to go well into the mix in 3rd, Gary Pascoe back in the running in 10th after another 9-1 winner.  Vince spooked by the placed guys in the plate catching him up popped in a 5 point 8-11 winner Adrian Hunt not out of it 11th +£2.10 after an 18-5 winner, Jason Stevens 8-1 & Ian Carpenter 8-11.  I have 3 bets in hand over Ian and need 24 points a tall order but lets have a go - of course that's ignoring Mark Lowry, Steve and Jimmy we are all scrabbling for a miserly £50 :-) 

25jun25 A HANDFUL

5 winners Mark Lowry & me both brought up a treble with the same 4-1, 10 point winner, Dave  Klein 8-1, Pat Quinn nudged up a place with a 5-4 winner but the bet of the day was Richard Pascoe 14-1 and that took him up to 6th spot 

24JUN25 just 4 winners

Me & Ian Carpenter both 13-8, Jake Fifield a very important 9-2 which unless there is a mega winner could be enough, finally Mark Lowry just held on with a 2-1 winner in 2nd

23jun25 NIL TO WRITE HOME ABOUT

That said 6 winners me 2-1, Dave Fifield & Mark Lowry, Mark Nutting all 3-1, Steve Taylor 8-13 & Tom McGarrity 2-7  

22jun25 ONE!

 Fittingly Robert Logan 6-5 on an appalling day's racing after the spectacular fare all week

21jun25 SOME BIG WINNERS

A couple of giants Paul Berg 25-1 to zoom up to 8th and in the cash, and just beating him 28-1 for Mark Nutting but as that was only his 2nd winner he still is only 20th.  Leader & 2nd both had the same 6-4 winner and Jim doe improved into 3rd with his timely 9-2 winner, that leaves Shelly wood at 4-1

20jun25 BLOODY HOT

 That's my report from yesterday at Royal Ascot and devoid of any winners :-(

Just 2 winners for us they were Ben Cheetham 13-8 & our leader Jake with a nice 7-1 winner that ends a 12 runner losing sequence and could wrap it up.  But no changes in order on either top 10.

19jun25 DAY 3

Just two winning horses 3-1 & 10 points for Steve Taylor, Robert Logan & Ben Cheetham, 8-13 and 5 points for me & Ian Carpenter

Correction Tom McGarrity 85-40 as well

Going tomorrow so expect a double update Saturday - sorry

18jun25 WE HAVE A WINNER

Robert Logan 9-4 and 10 points to tie up the plate with loads of days to go must be the earliest ever.  So does he aim for 266 to get into the top 10 or become the first player in modern times to win both? Either way a stunning performance trounced the field.  Three other winners today Jim Doe 9-2, Tom McGarrity 7-1, & John Caley 11-1 to go to -£5.50 so in the mix.  

17jun25 ROYAL DAY 1

 7 winners nothing dramatic!

16jun25 PACK CLOSING IN

But first Chris Pascoe does it again his tactic of searching for a massive winner then consolidating might be paying off again after he pops in a 40-1 winner to go 5th, closely followed by Ben Cheetham 20-1 and 6th, Robert Logan's inexorable march to plate victory picked up again after his 2-5 winner.  Adrian Hunt 4-1 Gary Pascoe & Mark Lowry both 11-4 were the rest  

15jun25 JUST 15 LEFT

 Six winners between us they were Pat Quinn evens, Dave Brammer 7-4, Jim Doe & Helen Fahey both 7-2 Mark Lowry 4-1 to go 2nd and the big winner of the day John Caley 20-1 but still only in 21st place at -£14.50 but another one of those and in the cash.

In the last place wooden spoon Mark Sharman & Tom Feeney both on 7 but the runaway 'leader' and I suspect uncatchable is Gary Cawsey on 12 last place selections one more than his number of winners.

14jun25 BRAMMEL LANE

 I'm staying right next to Sheffield U's ground, 3 winners Jimmy McGarrity 9-4, Nigel Chubb 3-1 & Pat Quinn 5-2 - that's all

13jun25 NINE

Nine winners!

12jun25 BIG WINNER

Dave Klein 22-1 but not enough to get him to the leader board, Gary Pascoe 9-4, Dave Brammer 18-5 and that was it 

11jun25 WARM

6 winners, Luke Silk brought up a treble with a 5-2 winner, Maurice Edgington 1-7, Mark Lowry 85-40, Richard Pascoe 11-8, best of the day Tom Ellison 7-2, & Vince Paige 8-11

10jun25 SEVEN

Seven winners 3 of them the same winner for me, Steve Taylor & Ian Carpenter at 4-5, Jim Doe & Richard Pascoe 4-1, Spenser Mills 7-2 to go 3rd   

09jun25 HANDFUL

Steve Taylor 2-15, Luke Silk 5-2, Sonya Paige 2-1, Tom McGarrity 8-11 and best of the day for Tom Ellison at a miserly 7-2

08jun25 seven

Robert Logan & Vince Paige both same 4-5 winner and 10 points,  Adrian Hunt 4-1, Gary Pascoe & Nigel Chubb both the same 9-2 winner and also 10 points, Tom McGarrity 13-8 & Richard Pascoe 9-5 which was enough to put him on both leader boards

07jun25 DERBY DAY

Five winners for us and only Pete Long had the Derby winner at 13-2, Big winner was Spenser Mills 18-1 to go 5th and the other 3 all on the same 9-4 winner were Jim Doe, George Casserly & Luke silk 

06jun25 ONLY THREE

Dave Brammer consolidated in 4th with a 4-1 winner Jim Doe 9-2 to go positive and make the leader board Nigel Chubb 7-2 were all we could manage!

05jun25 WHERE'S THE SUN

Nine winners today leader pops in a 2-1 winner to ram it home! Dave Brammer 12-1 back onto the leader board in 4th, George Casserly 6-5, Ian Carpenter 8-15, Jimmy McGarrity and Spenser Mills both 5-1, Pete Long 85-40, Paul Berg 2-1 & finally Tom Ellison 9-2.  

04jun25 HAS JAKE WRAPPED IT UP?

Jake bangs in a 14-1 winner and goes clear, now certain to be over £20 up but that has only been good enough to win once in the past 20 years but that assumes 20 losers in a row! Six other winners today Chris Pascoe 15-2, Jimmy McGarrity 2-1, Pete Long 6-5, Richard Pascoe 16-5, Tom McGarrity back after some unusual forced losers with a 9-5 winner and finally Terry Matthews brings up a double with a 3-1 shot.   

03jun25 LOADS OF WINNERS

Best of the day and straight into 6th was Tommy Smith 11-1, me & Ian Carpenter 4-11, Steve Taylor &  Robert Logan 2-5, Andy Stevens & Richard Hunt 4-1, Dave Brammer 11-2, Kevin wood 16-5, Pat Quinn 7-4 and a four timer and finally Terry Matthews 9-2.   

02jun25 LEADER WINS AGAIN

Steady progress from Jake Fifield with a 5-2 winner, plate hots up as 3 players all of the, now top 3, score with a 10 point 4-7 winner.  Gary Dighton 7-1 Harry Warmington 5-4, Jason Stevens 6-1, Pat Quinn 5-6 and Nigel Chubb 11-2 were the other 5 winners.  

01jun25 A HANDFUL

Five winners today Vince & me both on the 15-8 10 pointer to put me on a leader board at last!  Kevin Wood & Richard Pascoe both 2-1, & Pat Quinn consolidating after yesterday's glory with an 8-13 shot.  

A bot of a first i think at this stage of a comp that 50% of the leader board are all dormy 

31may25 ANOTHER WHOPPER

Pat Quinn bangs in another 66-1 winner and again it is restricted to 33-1 but still takes him 3rd, a few more bets for both Kev & Pat early on in the comp and both of them would have picked up the full tariff.  The Sharmans both had the same 11-2 winner in the big handicap at York!  Jim Doe brought up a treble with a 13-8 winner which took him 8th, and Jake Fifield took over at the top with a handy 11-2 winner and finally Richard Pascoe 7-2 enough to return to the leader board.  

30may25 PAIR

Two winners for us today Gave Klein best of the day 4-1 and John Doe 5-2 and that was it!

29may25 SOME ACTION

Seven winners 4 of them 6-1 for Adrian Hunt, Jason Stevens, Jim Doe & Dave Fifield others were Robert Logan 4-7, Gary Cawsey 5-2, Jimmy McGarrity 7-4.  

28may25 STEADY STATE

6 winners nothing special and very little movement

27may25 MONSTER

Just 3 winners today Steve Taylor & Martin Long both 7-4, but the story of the day was a 66-1 winner for Kevin Dighton, unluckily for him it is restricted to a maximum of 33-1 because he hasn't had 41 bets yet but still goes 3rd

26may25 BANK HOL

5 inners Robert Logan 2-7, Helen Fahey & Richard Pascoe both 9-4, Ian Carpenter 11-10, & tommy smith 6-5

25may25 MARK RESPONDS

Mark Lowry with a 4-1 winner immediately responds and goes back top despite Jake Fifield's 10-11 winner one of 4 in total on Lake Victoria (Gary Pascoe, Pete Long, Robert Logan) Dave Fifield 9-4, Steve Taylor 11-10, and a nice best of the day 5-1 for Terry Mathews were the rest of the 8 who scored today.  

Excel will go out after the bank holiday results

24may25 NEW LEADER

As suggested below suitably impressive performance delivered and also another good day for us with 11 winners the best so far this comp.  Clearly the best of the day 12-1 for Jake Fifield to take over at the top was the stand out, Robert Logan kept up the winners at evens, Dave Fifield, Gary Pascoe & Helen Fahey all 2-1, George Casserly 6-5, Ian Carpenter 11-10, Jimmy McGarrity 3-1, Richard Pascoe 10-11, Sonya Paige 15-8, and finally Steve Taylor nudging up another place to 3rd with a 5-4 winner.  

2000g - CERT?

 After Field of Gold was given such a poor ride in our 2000g then surely odds against looks good value at the Curragh today

23may25 BUMPER DAY

Think we might be getting into our stride a bit now even if we still do have two negative totals on the leader board.  Nine winners today including Robert Logan again 1-6, me 15-8, Steve Taylor nudging up a place into 4th with a 7-2 winner, Roger Dore slightly upset his 9-1 best of the day winner wasn't morning price of 16-1, Jim Doe & Tommy Smith both 3-1, Nigel Chubb 5-2 & Terry Matthews 6-1,Tom McGarrity 15-8.   

22may25 STILL AWAY

 6 winners both days so a bit of movement - still in Dublin back this evening

20may25 WARWICK TOMORROW

Four winners today and some nice ones Mark Nutting off the mark 8-1, Andy Warmington 13-2, Steve Taylor 5-2 to go 5th and best of the day 12-1 for Tom Feeney

Any tips for tomorrow welcome from those in the know obviously not from Roger :-)

19may25 JUST TWO

But pretty nice winners Ronan Casserly 15-2 and at 10-1 and best of the day was Tommy Smith

18may25 REASONABLE

Mainly because of the two 15-2 winners for Andy Stevens moves 5th & Paul Berg moves 10th, Ben Cheetham 4-1 and Shelly Wood 2-1 were the other two.

17may25 ANOTHER GOOD DAY

One result to come but too late to wait - some big winners today Jake Fifield 22-1 to go 2nd and dormy Kevin Wood 25-1 to go 3rd - he will have to pay attention now!  So that makes the the leader board look a little more sensible.  Other winners were Pete Long 2-1 Vince Paige 4-7, Gary Cawsey & Jimmy McGarrity 11-4 

19may25 AT LAST

Finally a day with double figures number of winners for the first time this comp as reflected by the fact that £4.75 is enough for 2nd place only Mark Lowry so far making a fist of it and extended that lead again with a 5-1 winner yesterday.  Best of the day and onto the leader board was Steve Taylor 14-1 - won't do all the others!   

15may25 SOME ACTION

Six winners Pete Long 5-2, Martin Long 3-1, George Casserly 8-11, Gary Pascoe 3-1, Jimmy McGarrity best of the day 4-1 and Luke Silk 7-2

14may25 BUSY DAY

Over 40 players today still only 4 winners joint best of the day were Martin Long & Helen Fahey at 7-2, Tom Feeney 3-1 and Shelly Wood 11-8.  Helen Fahey brought up a 4 timer only ruined by going dormy and also getting 4 forced losers but hey she's in 6th and I'm 51st out of 53 so what do I know.  Gary Cawsey goes clear on 6 last placed selections for the bonus pot which I'm hoping might be £50 from the interest we earn on the cash deposited.  

13may25 MUCH BETTER

9 winners including the leader 

12may25 A TOUCH BETTER

Well better odds anyway but still only 2 winners Martin Long 13-2 and Mark Lowry 7-1, that lifts both of them Martin onto the leader board and Mark becomes our new leader

11may25 SOLITARY WINNER

Just Chris Pascoe 5-1 enough to scrape onto the foot of the leader board however.

10may25 TWO AGAIN

 Only Robert Logan 5-2 & Gary Cawsey 100-30 troubled the scorers today 

08may & 09may25 - TWO X FOUR

Four winners both days nothing special and not much movement 

07may25 GUIDDY HEIGHTS

Well 5 winners joint best of the day just 11-10 Jimmy McGarrity & Harry Warmington, Robert Logan ploughing on 2-5 44 points clear at the top!  The other of our 5 winner haul were Ian Carpenter and Pete Long both 5-6.

Off to Barcelona for the weekend expect some delays!

06may25 EVEN WORSE!

Ian Carpenter at 4-11 was all we could manage - enough said

05may25 ANOTHER ATROCIOUS DAY OF NAPPING!

Two winners Martin Long 7-2, & Gary Pascoe 15-8 was the sum total of our efforts!

04may25 TWO BY TWO

Zhao bet looking good! Two pairs for us today, Gary Pascoe & Helen Fahey both 3-1 and two getting off the mark Chris Pascoe & Colin Warmington both 9-2 and our first person gone Dormy - Kevin Wood 

03may25 Miserly

Very poor return 2-13 for Robert Logan and 11-4 for Ben Cheetham - both the leaders pulling away and that was it - top 10s updated after today's results 

02may25 GO XIAO

Four winners Sonya Paige 100-30 to go back on the leader board, Robert Logan 6-4, Jim Doe best of the day 9-2 & Steve Taylor 10-11

01may25 A PAIR

Gary Cawsey 7-4 & Robert Logan 5-4 and that was it.  

30apr25 THREE AGAIN

They were Gary Pascoe 5-1, Jason /stevens 100-30 & Martin Long 13-8

I mean four I missed Steve Taylor's first winner 7-1

29apr25 HOT

 Not us just 3 winners Andy Warmington off the mark with a 4-1 winner, Gary Cawsey 11-4, Ian Carpenter 2-7 

28apr25 FOUR

Winners Robert Logan sticks to the plan another 5 points at 4-9, two 9-2 winners Richard Hunt & John Caley and Shelly Wood 5-6

27apr25 LFC

There's me thinking another pathetic day with only one winners from 14 bets, 6-4 for Gary Pascoe, when the last one up is Spenser Mills and hits a big one and gets off the mark with a 25-1 winner to go joint 2nd - nice one!

26apr25 DOUBLE

Update and today's paltry total which were 8-13 for Ian Carpenter and 1-7 for Robert Logan.  7 winners on Friday - you know who you were :-)

24apr25 ANOTHER FOUR

They were Paul Berg, 6-1 Richard Hunt 11-2, Martin Long 5-1, Sonya 9-2

23apr25 BIG WINNER

Dave Brammer zooms up to 2nd with a very nice 18-1 winner, two had the 4-7 winner Ian Carpenter & Tom McGarrity, Shelly Wood 5-4 and Harry Warmington 11-5 

22apr25 ANOTHER PAIR

George Casserly 9-4, & Ian Carpenter 5-2 that's it!

21apr25 ANOTHER PAIR

Two 10 point winners Vince 1-7 & Jimmy McGarrity 13-2 in the Irish National that's 3 in the last 4 for Jimmy and that wins him 11th place in the main comp and a very rare visit to a cash spot in the upper echelons of the plate! 

20apr25 PAIR

Just two winners leader stretches further clear with a 6-1 winner & Jimmy McGarrity 3-1.

Excel update will come out after B Hol Monday's results

5 winners Robert Logan another 5 at 2-5, Dave Fifield on the leader board with his 7-2 winner, Dave Brammer off the mark 4-1, Ian Carpenter 8-11, & Pat Quinn 2 in a row 4-1

18apr25 ALL CHANGE

Because Ben Cheetham bangs in a 22-1 winner to take over at the top and followed by Adrian Hunt 9-1 to go 3rd, Kevin Dighton off the mark 9-2 and finally Craig Connelly also 9-2, to go 6th.  Impressive day - well for some!

17apr25 FOUR TIMES

 Another 4 winners again today best and zooming up to 2nd was 14-1 for Andy Stevens, another good winner recorded by Tom Feeney 15-2 to get off the mark, Robert Logan banked another 5 points with a 1-3 winner at Clonmel and finally Jimmy McGarrity off the mark at Chelters at 4-1.  Sorry for the delay 

16apr25 ANOTHER FOUR

A few changes on the leader board, Tom Ellison 7-2 winner and straight onto the leader board same for Kevin Wood with doing the same with a 100-30 winner, Craig Connelly also 100-30 and in 6th with Ben Cheetham off the mark with a 2-1 winner.

15apr25 TOUGH AT HQ

4 winners today two were the same 100-30 winner Pete Long & Sonya Paige Gary Pascoe 11-4 and a nice best of the day for Richard Hunt 10-1 to zoom up to 4th

14apr25 JUST ONE

 Gary Cawsey 11-4 that's it!

13apr25 GO BRYSON & COLLIN

5 winners 2@ 2-5 Robert Logan and looking suspiciously like his "I'm not going for the plate" from Vince has already bitten the dust.  Tom Ellison off the mark with his first bet 7-2, Jim Doe also off the mark at 3-1, and finally Dave Fifield just best of the day at 4-1 to feature on both leader boards

Excel sent

FINAL NUMBERS
