26may24 SURPISE TRANSFORMATION
For Gary Pascoe 2 days ago winless, dormy and bottom now after yesterday and another good winner at 12-1 today on the leader board and in the hunt. Four other winners today, Helen Fahey again! this time 2-1 but not quite enough to make both leader boards but gets to the plate, Frank Tubman keeping up the pressure on the leaders with a 7-4 winner, Kevin Wood brings up a double with a 15-8 winner and that does put him back on both leader boards, finally Paul Stobbart 5-4.
Sorry for the cut back updates had to revert to paper as I forgot my laptop power cable!
Excel inbound

19may24 GIANT WINNER
66-1 for Chris Pascoe (again as in earlier comps) so luckily for us restricted to 33-1, still obviously enough to zoom him up to 4th spot. Actually another good day with 7 other winners Frank Tubman & me both 11-4, Jimmy McGarrity, Ben Cheetham & Richard Hunt all 2-1, Helen Fahey brings up a treble and moves onto the leader board with a 5-2 winner, finally Paul Stobbart 5-6, rounding off a good day.

18may24 WELL DONE NICE WIN
A first for this comp double figure number of winners 10 (excluding the selection for TF in the last), so here goes, Frank Tubman & Gary Dighton both 7-2, Helen Fahey, Spenser Mills, & Luke Silk 3-1, Ian Carpenter 9-4 to go positive, Mark Nutting 100-30, Paul Berg best of the day 15-2, Robert Logan 8-13, 7 finally Tom Feeney off the mark with a nice 7-1 winner.
CORECTION: Gary Cawsey also had a 3-1 winner - missed it came in really early so that moves him to 12p and onto the leader board in 8th
17may24 GOOD LUCK OXFORD

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.
