20aug24 ON FORM

9 winners today so comp has started pretty hot.  Paul Berg maintains 100% record with 2 from 2 and goes top with a 100-30 winner.  Two other players went to 2 winners me with my not too risky 1-8 winner and Stuart Bentham 1-3 and 5 points to go top of the plate on count back.  The other 6 winners were Colin Warmington 100-30, Dave Brammer, Ian Carpenter & Harry Warmington all 6-4, Frank Tubman also 5-1 to go 4th,  and Richard Pascoe another 5-1 winner to go 3rd at this early stage.

York trip kicked off with a test night at Napoleon's Casino for Paul, Stuart & I, of course just to case the joint ready for dinner tomorrow although we did finish up a little, a good start to the wagering this week, looking forward to the Juddmonte tomorrow a classy renewal & Godolphin's £2.3M 2yo in the G3.      

19aug24 GATHERING PACE

30 players today and only 16 of us 53 left to start, another 6 winners they were Darren Mills & George Waters both on the same 9-2 winner, Stuart Bentham & Mark Lowry both on the same 4-11 winner, Jake Fifield 3-1 and Robert Logan 8-13.  All that leaves a familiar look to the top of the plate and Dave Fifield retains the main lead.

Forgot to welcome the 3 new players Harry Warmington, so 3 generations of the Warmington's playing Colin, Andy & Harry, Karl Noble a recruit from N Wales from my time up there, & Ronan Casserly, son of George, who got roped in on Kevin's 60th Windsor lads night, mainly because of the Oxford greyhound tips he got that evening!

18aug24 OPENING DAY

Not many played on the first day (16 out of 53) but 6 winners so pretty positive.  The day kicked off with Steve Taylor and Vince Paige both picking the only 10 point winner at 3-1, Mark Nutting also scored with a 3-1 winner, Paul Berg was top for a short while with an opening 11-2 winner but pipped by Dave Fifield 13-2 winner (back after a long break since December 2012!).  Finally I managed a 11-8 winner as well.

Will send out the excel but might be late/in the morning have to gather the group email together, as above 53 players (more always welcome) 2 still to pay, we will announce the prizes in a few days but plate will run to 4 spots and the main comp to the top 9
