2023 Diamond Geezer Cup (Antepost Tipping Competition)

Cheers for keeping this updated Dandrew99, surprised I'm still lobbing along infront at the mo, doubtful stayer mind :excitement:
 
Results at the end of Day 2 are ]url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kf3lGt35TfC7lUW8kzskmT55iLX09Jc2TDAaHMPp4Ek/edit?usp=sharing]HERE[/url].

Nwfb89 is still leading on 120.5pts, ahead of Birds Nest on 108.9pts. archie now in third with 105.05pts. Only 12pts behind the winning score last year already, with the record of 185pts definitely on the cards to be broken.

In terms of races... again pretty solid:

Tough times in the Champion Bumper...

Crikey 2nd place...ive gone too hard too early, i'll never get home up that hill...brilliant comp, thanks Dandrew...
 
How do we view the latest table?
 
Nobody on the first or second there...

32 on Mighty Potter in 3rd, 16 on Appreciate It in fourth. A lot of James Du Berlais fans back then apparently!
 
Pretty amazingly for such a competitive handicap, 4 people on the winner and 14 in second.

The leader is now... sigh, Kevloaf. 43 points on that winner is the biggest winner of the competition so far. Pressure's on you boys in behind, can't be letting Kev win!

Only 4 people picked any of the top 4 there... shout out to Native River and big H with the Envoi Allen selection, gaining both 35 points and moving the former into third place.
 
Nobody with the winner there... 12 on Teahupoo, 1 on Dashel Drasher and 36 on Flooring Porter picking up points. No first past the post here...

17 on Magical Zoe, 19 on Halka Du Tabert and 37 on Luccia, but only picking up the place money in that one. 0 selections for You Wear It Well.
 
Is it just me but is having a competition back in darkest January, the best idea? Nevermind the graded races, the handicaps are hard enough a week out, god knows they're a nightmare back in January.

Being difficult is literally the point :highly_amused: Still getting plenty of winning selections in the handicaps...
 
Results at the end of day 3 are HERE.

Kevloaf leading the way into the final day. Nwfb89 still there in 2nd, then a little gap to the other 6 who are over 100pts. Will be some going to get to the 185pt mark after today, with only 6 winning tips across the 7 races today:

Plate and the Kim Muir quite predictably the most difficult handicaps.

Bloodbath of a day for me apart from a few smaller antes landing, so fucking no idea how I'm 3rd. Probably cause I haven't got a clue who I put back in January :excitement:

With no runner in the County, Albert Bartlett - and the same horse in the Hunter Chase and Martin Pipe...

The differences are Blood Destiny vs Lossiemouth, nothing versus Favori De Champdou, Stattler versus Galopin Des Champs



I do not fancy my chances of holding on .... :cold: - better for my own pocket though :highly_amused:
 
Im simular to you re my pocket tomorrow Kevloaf :sulkiness: iv not not backed many of my picks for tomorrow :cower:

The pace setter has got a second wind... Lossiemouth wins to return Nwfb89 back to the top! The back in behind have definitely closed in on Kev now too, anyone picking a handicap winner today must have a great chance... Current Positions here.

73 winning tips on Lossiemouth, 3 on Gala Marceau and nothing else in the top 4.
