Last weekend, Reebok Rules amassed a very impressive points total to take the crown, on a day when winners were hard to find ... This Saturday looks even harder so it's time to get studying (or sharpen the pin !!!) to try and find those elusive winners. With the closure of 606 (and the failure of one or two replacement sites to keep up and running) hopefully we'll get even more entrants this week. If you know anybody who might be interested in joining in, nag them 'til they take part ... If you need any tips on how to do it, ask Solerina !!!!!

Good luck if you take part .... Cheers

A glorious days racing at Epsom didn't finish with the fairytale royal winner of the Derby, and again winners at our two meetings were a little tricky to find however we have one entrant this week who ran away from the rest of the field and was standing up in the irons celebrating even earlier than Mickael Barzalona was yesterday. Braveheart101 found 16/1 winner Fanunalter and also landed 15/2 shot Fox Hunt too amass a spectacular winning points total. Congratulations Braveheart, really was a quality display of tipping.

The final standings are -

Braveheart101 - 510 Points
Swanseadabber - 165 Points
Grahame1971 - 136.82 Points
Reebok Rules - 100 Points

Thanks all for entering ... We'll do it all again next week and if you know anybody who might be interested, get them to log in next Friday or Saturday.

Superb scoring Braveheart, well done mate

wow well done Braveheart! record points score I would think!

I just had one of those days... Epsom has to be one of the hardest places to pick a winner.
actually on course i didn't fare quite as badly as I managed to pick the winner of the "dash" and then had a saver on Pour Moi in the Derby. He left it a bit late though!

Cheers guys would have to say was pure luck. Thought id be left on zero points again after seeing the early prices.
Well done to everyone who showed a return and thanks to Grahame for running comp.

Well done Braveheart and all who showed a return,wooden spoon again for the Nut

Aaaw...... don't cry, Nut

Congrats Braveheart....that's an amazing score! : )

Thanks everyone for entering......sorry I couldn't take part....I'll be back next week,

Solerina

I might have to miss this week's comp as I might not be back online now till tomorrow evening : (

Good luck to those of you who do enter : )
