A fabulous start by Maxxum and some good results late on from Neil (Redrum) puts those two out at the top and last years victor (MickeyJP) did well to get up there with a winning nap and the better half is up there too!!
Well done to you all and as always any problems with your scores let me know and I will have a look and looks like the in house battle is a bit one sided
March 11, 2025 at 19:10 #1722832
Congratulations to MAXXUM on an absolutely fantastic score and your first attempt at the competition as well!
Special mention to Red Rum and Mickeyjp who have both managed to get up on that podium on day 1 with equally brilliant scores!
“Cake Competition” in the Raymo household is a bit of a sore point at the moment (not for me lol!), but there are still another three days in which Raymo can claw back some points. The alternative is that the dog seems to be eyeing up the pork pies and will, I am sure, dispose of them for Raymo!
Anyway, onwards and upwards for everyone – it is still anyone’s competition to win!

17:20 Gameofinches (Res: Bambino Fever)March 11, 2025 at 19:36 #1722841Thought my best chance of big price winners was the Handicaps, the rest was in damage limitation mode as I thought the odds on chances will scoop them. Golden Ace was lucky but sometimes you need a bit of luck and as mentioned on TV the name of the game is jumping. Reminds me a little of Beech Road in 89
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.

I second that Jac, plus their jockeys, let’s not forget the Supreme Novice Hurdle was named after Michael O’Sullivan. If there a life after, he’ll be looking down and loving that race.
