Too Darn Hot‘s injury cost me, But Mtoto had a lot of the best horses including three of the Arc favourites; Enable (nap), Japan and Ghaiyyath and totally deserved competition victory. Kew Gardens didn’t have a lot of luck prior to the last day and Baynet could’ve beaten us both had that horse done better earlier in the season. Greenasgrass was up with the pace throughout and hampered by star horse Crystal Ocean‘s injury. Greenasgrass overtaken in the last strides by Red Rum (who played his subs/wildcard particularly well, Magical, Enable and Battaash) and Botchy (the only one to star Stradivarius and would’ve won the whole thing had Fleeting not had Placeitus). Other than the winner, Pants was the only other to nap Enable… While Jackh came eighth primarily through napping the top scoring horse Magical. BigG did remarkably well considering got no points from his nap, having seven individual Group 1 winning horses. Middle Of March tenth; was one of only two that had Laurens who would’ve been one of the biggest scorers last year but more inconsistent this.
Others who particularly should be mentioned:
Nefertiti led for a long time, with big priced 1000 Guineas winner Hermosa and paid for being away from her device; unable to use subs and wildcards at critical times. Nathan Hughes the only person to have Battaash from the start – most TRFer’s Wilcard… Which is ironic considering NH was the one who convinced me to have Wildcards. And Kilmurry did well considering didn’t touch the ten to follow after entering, no use of subs/wildcard.Value Is EverythingHi GT, as I say, I just wouldn’t make great use of it. I was once a Timeform addict using their racecard ratings and their Black Book which generally kept me in profit but these days most of my betting activity involves golf and football these days. Just promise to keep posting a steady stream of winners after you have a good break. All the best
Fair enough Mtoto.
I don’t have many bets in the last few weeks of the Flat season or early Jumps anyway.Value Is EverythingNathan Hughes the only person to have Battaash from the start – most TRFer’s Wilcard… Which is ironic considering NH was the one who convinced me to have Wildcards

TOP STUFF MTOTO
And Ginge much respect for the hours and hours of hard work you must have put in running this
I don’t think people realise how much graft these competitions involve. Much kudos Fella
Have been away again, so sorry not to have posted earlier. Many congratulations to Mtoto and Ginger for such an exciting finish to the comp, and many, many thanks to Ginge for managing such a fun competition. Look forward to next year’s version.
Well done MTOTO and thank you GT. You did very well yourself!
As you say Ginge- Magical literally pulled me out of a big hole with my other selections being so poor!
