Somewhere in the city Gary Pascoe presents Andy Stevens with the trophy

Sad in the Extreme

So obviously missing the daily update task and too many long flights has meant I have sat and done a complete analysis of all 40 naps comps we have held and here are the highlights!

We have had a total of 186 people play in the 40 events completed that amounts to 83,931 naps generating a total of 13,508 winners or 16% win rate.

Some more specific and surprising best of tables - the cut off is must have played at least 7 times

1st Jimmy McGarrity -5.6p per bet (854 bets)

Early ideas and dates for next Comp

As usual need a short gap before starting again!

Working backwards from a nice evening meeting at Windsor on Monday 11th July means a start on Tuesday 12th April, get that final day in the diary let's see if we can get critical mass to occupy the whole of the Champagne and Seafood bar again :-)

Details will follow in a few weeks and Vince will do the honours on the prize distribution next week

Already got new players - welcome to Adrian Hunt a well known racing journalist who paid me today and is already in!  And it looks like Steve Carter and Tom Feeney partners' have accepted the challenge to play next comp having stated that this looks easy - fighting talk!
