"I reckon, to stand any chance, we need one or more of the following to win:
16.50
Pilgrim: Blow By Blow (IRE) £1,000.00 Win

17.30
tward07: Le Prezien (FR) £1,000.00 Win
stick: Foxtail Hill (IRE) £1,000.00 Win

If Vanilla wins it with Three Stars (IRE) £1,000.00 Win I'm afraid that's it"

Right down to the wire Ron. Thanks for the update. And great shout from your member pilgrim.

Pilgrim has just gone into the lead with an 11/1 winner. It could have been much better for not606 as Mick the Jolly Sailor had £1,000 win on Discorama which was second at 33/1

And a switch up again with t ward. Unbelievable late shouts.

Well done to the winner, and everyone who finished ahead, not easy at the fez

Thanks everyone for entering. 92 entrants, must be a record for us. Apologies for the format (I gather you can't view the originals on not606)

Congratulations to FJ who gained their revenge in the team event in no uncertain manner. As last year the Team Event A, is based on the best 6 scores from each side. With FJ managing to secure 7 of the top 10 in the overall table it's no surprise how this ended

Impresive stuff ron. Thankyou very much and an excellent effort on your behalf. Well done to everyone who entered the competition and gave it a go. Close call in the end after an unbelievable finish from the 606 guys

[bigsanny]

Many thanks for running this competition. Good fun. But very many thanks to Gault stats. Absolutely terrific. I'm a great trends/stats fan and these are the best I've come across.

[ComplyOrDie]

Thanks for doing this Ron, good competition and a bit of fun too

[Old Vic]

Ron many thanks for this. Good to see so many in profit.

Ron many thanks for this. Good to see so many in profit.

No problem. Although we won the individual, you stuffed us in the team events. We had the 1st and 2nd (33/1) in the penultimate race. Had the first 2 been reversed, I think we would have just edged the team event too, which would have been a total injustice.

Great turnout for the comp and thanks to all those who took the time to participate. Luckily I built a good system to simplify the admin lol

Look forward to next time

Cheers all

Clearly this is only fun but the more competitive amongst us will realise you need to be in here every day and provide daily picks using the updated scores to influence your picks, selecting all horses the weekend before is not the way to succeed....

Yes, we could actually play quite a strategic game if we were all knocking about!
