    Well done Bob, excellent start and backed it up with a strong finish.

    Thanks to family Raymo for running the show, no small undertaking.

    Well done Bob :yahoo: perhaps you could tip us up the Grand National winner now you’re in such good form. :yes:
    Also well done to all who came within a hair’s breadth of winning a very tight finish taken to the wire it all rested on who won or placed in the last race.

    Many thanks to Team Raymo for running this all so smoothly and oh if only I could have been a fly on the wall of Casa Raymo during the last 4 days. B-)
    Congrats Raymo for winning the cakes.

    Lastly I have to say I have never enjoyed a Cheltenham Festival as much as this one where every single horse came home safely.
    Honeysuckle and Rachel Blackmore stole all our hearts on an Epic first day and every horse ran to it’s full potential. It was a truly magical and enjoyable meeting and this competition made it even more so, big thank you…Jac :heart:

    Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

    Congratulations Bob on your win :yahoo: – such an unbelievable close finish for all of you at the top.
    Thank you everyone who entered because, without you, Ray wouldn’t have had anything to count at the end of each day!
    Apologies if the columns were a bit “skewy” – I tried my hardest to make sure they were as straight as I could get them!
    A great Cheltenham meeting all round – we had fun :-) :yahoo: :good:

    Phew, that was close…thanks everyone, I had a pretty good Cheltenham, punting wise. The absolute highlight for me was the owners group Stage Star winning (one of mine) and I didn’t put it as one of my selections (a silly superstition I have). Many thanks to Raymo and Mrs Raymo for all the work put in running the competition :good:

    Many thanks to Mr and Mrs Raymo for running the competition so magnificently and congratulations to the winners, closely fought out and some tremendous scores.
    It was a brilliant Festival (apart from the fatality of poor Malinello on the first day) and the TRF competition added even more excitement !

    Well done Bob, not easy to win, but you made it look easy.

    Also to all those which top the scores each day.

    Triptych on day 2
    Michael Walsh and Wyldesyde on day 3
    M2Racing on final day

    and Bigg (Graham) who decided to give us a start on day 1, before making ground up and finished well. :good:

    Raymo61 for winning the cakes

    Mrs Raymo61 for keeping the scores.

    What an exciting competition and a blanket finish!

    Congratulations Bob – great consistent tipping over the four days. :good: Well done to Mike007, Michael Walsh and Wyldesyde for getting so tantalizing & heartbreakingly close.

    Special thanks to Raymo and Mrs. Raymo for putting in all the hard work to score this competition for us. It’s very much appreciated. We will all just have to wonder who would have won the cakes IF Mrs. Raymo had hit ENTER on the morning of Day 3.

    Stay Safe Everyone
