Day 46 28th October 2009

sorry for the gap so day 46 is first day of the second half of the comp

George still top - no prizes for guessing that on +50.25 he has had a couple of winners and maintained his gbp 30+ gap to the pack. Leading the pack after my 5-1 winner today is me! on +19.92 3rd Vince, 4th ricky and 5th Mark D.

So an all round good day for me 28 bets and just my winner - that's what we like to see.

In the plate Kevin W has switched on to the short priced shots and now leads by 1 point with one bet in hand from me on 80 points and Vince 3rd a further 12 points behind. Probably the dark horse in the plate is Ricky ok he is 30 points adrift but he has 11 bets in hand all he has to watch for is the fact that he is only 5 bets from Dormy.

Cup is now engraved and will be presented to Lee on Saturday watch out for the photo

Day 37 19th October 2009

27 bets (inc. the first forced loser for Val) and 6 winners, Alan M managed a 9-2 shot and moved to within 4p of me in second place with level bets - my 4-7f runner in a 4 horse race only came 3rd! JP, JR & K all had 100-30 winners. With 16 players positive from the 39 enties we are seeing a pretty high standard so far this comp.

Vince also consolidated his position as favourite for the plate with a win that just leaves him 7 points behind me with 4 bets in hand.

Day 36 18th October 2009

Sorry for the gap in update - loads of top quality naps and changes that you will see in the update email just sent out.

Friday - All the Dighton's had winners Mark, Geoff, Kev & Gary with 9-1, 9-1, 14-1 & 8-13 respectively and Mark Nutting joined in the rush with a 12-1 winner of his own. All up 7 winners from 25 bets. Saturday - I picked Twice Over in the G1 also 14-1 to go 2nd overall. Sunday John R kept up the impressive list with a 9-1 shot and Alan & Geoff (again) followed up with 5-1, & 9-2 themselves.

Leader still George, of course, but pack is starting to reel him in as the race approaches the half way mark. George +48.00 (19 bets), 2nd me +20.92 (26), 3rd Mark D +20.00 (19), 4th Alan M +19.88 (27) and last cash spot is Vince +15.08 (22).

Val is Dormy already!!

Plate - Vince & I sort of starting to open a little bit of a gap I'm 68 from 26 bets, Vince 57 but only from 22. Others in the hunt are Kevin 55 from 24 and Jed 53 from 24.

Billy storms up the leader board with an 11-1 winner to move into 7th on +11.50, 3 other winners from 25 bets.

Maurice (me) now 10 points clear but after 24 bets Kevin W in 2nd ahs 4 gets in hand.
