2023 Diamond Geezer Cup (Antepost Tipping Competition)

[Dandrew99]

Nobody on the winner again there, amazingly charlie and Benjy23 both selected Affordable Fury, hope you kept the faith! 8 on Sandor Clegane and another 2 on Letsbeclearaboutit.

Live Scores.

Few people creeping into it...

 

[Dandrew99]

63 on Galopin Des Certainty, 3 on Bravemansgame and 2 on Conflated. Kev the only one of the top 8 who didn't have GDC, our leader is 16 points ahead with 3 races to play... charlie and BigChaang chasing him home. Plenty in with chances...

Live Scores.

Just finding a second wind now, stay all day I do :glee:

 

[Dandrew99]

Seems everyone is taking a breather before going up the hill, 0 selections in the top 4 there (unsurprisingly).

Allegorie De Vassy v Impervious, Imagine v Spanish Harlem looks like it will decide it...

 

[Dandrew99]

9 on Impervious, 74 on Allegorie De Vassy, 1 on Zambella...

Live Scores.

Nwfb89 on 152 points on Imagine, I think the only person who can catch him is now nortonscoin200 who is currently in 6th on 130.75 points. Tipped up Spanish Harlem at 16/1 for a potential 26 points. Good luck both!

 

[Dandrew99]

Nothing in the top 4... which means the Diamond Geezer Cup winner this year is Nwfb89! :applouse: Second is archie and third is Kevloaf .

Final Results

Very impressive performance from our winner, been up there all week, thoroughly deserved and ends up with 152.4 points, 8 points clear of second. 9 winners, 2 seconds, 1 third and 1 fourth. No seconditis from you this week! Almost most impressively was only 3 non-runners across the 28 selections.

Race results for day 4:

	County	Albert Bartlett	Gold Cup	Mares Chase	Hunters Chase	Martin Pipe
1st	0	0	63	9	0	0

….14th out of 98, well happy with that. Many thanks Dandrew99 & too many others to mention who make this site what it is.

Magical festival, even my son & son-in-law were on Faivoir today. Started on the rum after GDC & still going down nicely!!

Get pissed this weekend & start highlighting the winners on Monday please.

28th out of 98. If this was a real race, I'd have been balloted out, and had entry stakes, never mind bets, returned!!

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Congratulations Nwfb89 and a massively thank you to Dandrew99 once again, great stuff mate.

I'm really happy with 11th considering how bang average my festival was from a financial perspective.

 

[Mighty]

Congrats Nwfb89 - great selections and a well deserved win, but I’ll be back next year to try and get the title back!

 

[Benjy23]

Well done nwfb and others. .

And great job Dandrew99

Pretty happy with my finishing position given I had a lot of non runners in the handicaps. Including Langer Dan (I think) in the wrong race

Congrats Nwfb89 and thanks for running the competition Dandrew99. Are we going to stick to the same format or should we make it a little closer to the festival so we know runners ?

 

[The Giant Bolster]

Congrats Nwfb89 and thanks for running the competition Dandrew99. Are we going to stick to the same format or should we make it a little closer to the festival so we know runners ?

Definitely. Great work both.

Personally I'd suggest waiting until at least initial handicap entries are known but happy if others prefer the challenge of picking early.

Thanks for organising Dandrew99. Very polished performance.

Happy to go with the majority, I just went with the format it was in before. Personally I quite like the difficulty in selecting winners that far out, but doesn't bother me either way.

Sounds like a poll is needed but we should do that when the season starts and people are back from their breaks. I enjoy the flat so I don't have one.

Yeah fine by me, I'll set up a poll in December or something and go with the majority.
