WE HAVE A WINNER
Jake Fifield wins with an impressive £53.41 total the 5th highest winning total since 2011. Richard Pascoe £450 & Mark Lowry £300, Jim Doe 4th on debut and £150
Congratulations to Jake - Vince will sort cash later
runners in the 8.15
We have all of the following 3 on So Chic, Jason Stevens, Mark Lowry, Mark Nutting, & Tom McGarrity (-26.71) on Estamaid
No runners after that
Robert Logan winner moves him up
5-1 and now 7th which knocks Dave Brammer to the bubble and Tommy Smith from £100 to £50
30jun25 ADRIAN WINNER
100-30 enough for 6th and £100 with plenty still to come Paul Berg falls out of the cash
Sunday, 29 June 2025
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
Saturday, 28 June 2025
27jun25 A TOTAL OF FOUR
Shelly Wood 1-2 & Tommy Smith 8-1 were the only other winners after the earlier excitement
Friday, 27 June 2025
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
Thursday, 26 June 2025
26jun25 SOME SIGNIFICANT WINNERS
25jun25 A HANDFUL
Tuesday, 24 June 2025
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
Monday, 23 June 2025
23jun25 NIL TO WRITE HOME ABOUT
Sunday, 22 June 2025
22jun25 ONE!
Fittingly Robert Logan 6-5 on an appalling day's racing after the spectacular fare all week
Saturday, 21 June 2025
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.
Thursday, 19 June 2025
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
Wednesday, 18 June 2025
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.
Monday, 16 June 2025
16jun25 PACK CLOSING IN
Sunday, 15 June 2025
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
Friday, 13 June 2025
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

Tuesday, 27 May 2025
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

24may25 NEW LEADER
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.

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 :-)
Monday, 19 May 2025
19may25 JUST TWO
But pretty nice winners Ronan Casserly 15-2 and at 10-1 and best of the day was Tommy Smith
Sunday, 18 May 2025
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.
Saturday, 17 May 2025
17may25 ANOTHER GOOD DAY
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!
Thursday, 15 May 2025
15may25 SOME ACTION
Wednesday, 14 May 2025
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.
Tuesday, 13 May 2025
