Winners and losers.......

That's now the end of the tipping competition and I'd like to say a big thank you to everybody who entered and well done to everyone who managed to make a profit on the week.


The Final Table looked like this;

pricewise987..........+ 22 points THE WINNER
micmac.................. + 19.67
The Lone Ronger.. + 19.33
Shorthead.............. +13.75
bonnie fielder........ +12.50
The Kernel............ +4
Gavin................... +3.91
Tess the Dog......... +3.75
poor choice............ +2.96
huddy.................... +1.92
Cornish Geriatric. +1.58
KENSFANCY....... +0.39
Rays Rides............ +0.16

Firstly, no your eyes do not deceive you - I did indeed finish 6th and I showed a profit. A lovely 10/1 winner yesterday was enough to save my blushes and repair a bit of my damaged reputation.

It was also nice to see Matt finish with -12 points. That's a fiver he now owes me!

The real winner though was pricewise987 who picked 7/1 winner Signor Peltro to come from just off the pace and get up on the line. The 25/1 poke All the Good set the week up nicely, with Signor Peltro sealing a very healthy profit of +22 points.

Very nice picking and congratulations on a hard fought victory.

Micmac picked 4/1 winner Kylacchy Storm and a non runner yesterday so he also got in front of long time leader the Lone Ronger who must surely be kicking himself for missing Saturday.

Shorthead and bonnie fielder couldn't find another winner and finished 4th and 5th respectively.

In total we had 172 entries but only 53 finishers and just 13 people showed a profit.

Of those that completed the week, 3 of you got the lowest score possible (-14 points) but I will spare your blushes and keep the names to myself!!

(You know who you are Lucky, Celine & earlyriser.....whoops!)

Matt was only saved the ultimate embarrassment by giving 2 non runners on Wednesday.


I hope you all enjoyed it and though it's been quite hard work collating the entries it has been very interesting to see the wide range of horses chosen and we've had some very nice, big priced winners including 10/1, 16/1 and 25/1 twice.

This also meant that pricewise987 and micmac will share the highest priced winner at 25/1

The winners be emailed shortly with details of their prizes and hopefully we can get a photo on the blog of pricewise987 with the shiny trophy.

If you didn't get the chance to take part this time or you would like to do it all again then I will be running a new competition in November. I'll let you know more nearer the time....

Bank Holiday Blues

Another Bank Holiday, another wet day in South Wales and another poor days Bank Holiday racing with nothing on terrestial TV. Good work BHB! (Though I guess I can't blame them for the weather.)

Nevermind, I'll still have a go at finding a winner.

3.55 Kempton. The horse that caught my eye in this race was the bottom weight Crystany. Previously trained by Henry Cecil she has shown some pretty decent form in Listed Contests and has now changed stables to join John Dunlop. Off bottom weight and from a high draw the 12/1 looks value to me and just as long as she handles the All Weather surface she should run a good race.

4.10 Ripon. Another horse that I will be backing today is Mountain Pride. Again trained by John Dunlop, he seemed to be suited by a drop back in trip and front running tactics to gain a cosy victory at Sandown back in June. He's had one more run since, where he was unable to lead but finished a fair 6th in a big field Goodwood handicap and at around 12/1, again, looks good value.

4.30 Kempton. The last of the three horses I will be backing today is the Henry Cecil trained Many Volumes. He has run some very good races this season and gained a deserved Listed succes last time at Sandown. His only run on the all weather was on Great Leighs Polytrack where he went under by just a head to Mutajarred and I make him a great bet to go one better today.
