Or do I mean inevitable as Vince returns to the top of the plate after picking up a 10 pointer. At least that means he can't win the main comp basically impossible to do both in modern times. Other winners were Tom McGarrity & Mark Lowry both on the 4-5 winner of the last and Pete Long & Paul Stobbart 85-40.
Just one player yet to have a bet that's a newby Dave Geddes and everyone is now paid so prizes are confirmed as over.
Some great racing action today although judging by the hit rate we achieved not an easy one. 34 bets today but only 5 winners and given that one was Stuart Bentham's 2-9 winner to go top of the plate that doesn't leave much else. Tommy Smith was probably expecting to go top with another 11-2 winner but Dave Klein just managed to stay ahead with his 6-5 winner. The other two winners were Vince Paige 4-9 and Kevin Wood 4-1 which was just about enough to sneak onto the leader board.
Dave Klein hits a 12-1 winner to leap clear at the top of the table, just 4 other winners today from 26 players, they were Vince Paige, Paul Berg, Mark Lowry & Kevin Dighton.
Good day for Tommy Smith leapt to top of the leader board with his 7-2 winner and Helen Fahey started with the same winner to move 4th after 1 bet. They were the only two to record success today from 24 bets!
Bowling terminology - Tom McGarrity & Tom Feeney both get three in a row. Tom McGarrity goes top with his 2-1 winner Tom Feeney's was 7-4 and he sits 6th. 24 bets today and 7 winners, me again the same horse as Tom McGarrity, Ian Carpenter & Roger Dore both 15-8, Jimmy, father of, McGarrity 9-4, & Tom Lloyd Jones also had a 7-4 winner to sit 2nd.
What's all these Toms dominating this comp - Tommy Smith sits 4th as well!
22 bets today 6 winners best was Tommy Smith 11-2 to go top and Tom McGarrity 2 from 2 moves 2nd. Four saddos couldn't resist the 2-7 winner today to win 29p each they were Stuart Bentham, Vince Paige, Mark Lowry and Tom Feeney - wasn't even a 10 pointer!
Just 13 bets today but with a more than 50% hit rate (7 winners) pretty successful. Best of the day Martin Long 5-1 & 10 points to feature prominently on all leader boards. Other winners were Sonya Paige, Stuart Bentham, Colin Warmington now 2 from 2 and top, Tom Lloyd Jones, Roger Dore & Tom Feeney.
Good news on entries we picked up two more overnight and now stand on 41 so that's enough for £1,000 first prize.
33 Players in so far might get the odd straggler
Smallest field since 2011 so prize may only be 800 :-(
