Well done winners, superb scores there (unlike mine which got less and less each day, ending with a duck egg today!), i hope you all backed your picks and fleeced the bookies

Many thanks to the Raymos for running the competition
March 13, 2026 at 18:13 #1759684Well done to Dessie and my thanks to the Raymos for their great work running the competition.
I had the last winner but gave myself too much to do!
March 13, 2026 at 19:05 #1759704Well done Dessie – some very consistent tipping over the four days!
Congrats also to Silent Assassins and Jac for making it onto the podium. 
Huge thanks to Raymo and Tracey for running this comp so impeccably well!
It’s always a lot of fun, even if I only picked one winner in four days of racing
March 13, 2026 at 19:10 #1759706Well done Dessie… its a tough comp to win ..
well played those in behind
Brilliant running of the comp once again from the Raymo’s so quick and efficient, much better than I could do, you guys would be still waiting until Sunday if I was marking. We are lucky to have you.
The Wellington was good I thought, I was always going to play in on the last race but went with the wrong one d’ohGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
March 13, 2026 at 19:20 #1759709Well played Dessie. A very decent score.
Again many thanks to the Raymos for running this. I’m sure you are ready for those much deserved cakes and a decent night’s kip.
Roll on 2027
March 13, 2026 at 19:33 #1759714Well done Dessie73, and thanks Raymos for running.
March 13, 2026 at 19:40 #1759719Lots of fun , thanks Raymos , I peaked too early …the supreme
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
March 13, 2026 at 19:55 #1759725Not long in from a long day in Hospital. I didn’t see any of the races
but watched them all on rewind. I was amazed to see Apolon De Charnie
came in at 50/1, well done BEAURANGER it’s good to have a partner to
celebrate with
Top marks to Dessie73, the highest score of the day and a worthy winner

Silent Assassinns and Triptych, fantastic effort. 4 Good days Assassins,
kept you right there and Jac, so near just needed that final day Well done
Tracy and Raymo, you made a fantastic effort and success of a really
difficult competition. I know how hard it is.
March 13, 2026 at 21:39 #1759745Congrats Dessie 73 great performance well deserved close compo last 3 days several in with chance coming to last race just what you want in a compo thanx Raymos for running it again unlucky Triptych just run out of stamina after leading for a long way
March 13, 2026 at 23:42 #1759778Thanks to Tracey and Ray for organising this competition, the Wellington inclusion added more diminsion, but not everyone seemed to grasp the idea, I’m sure they’ll come around. You say that Wellingtons beat Naps (as in Duke of Wellington beating Napoleon in the battle of Waterloo). I think the Wellington should be triple points reward, to reflect this, all places.
Well done Dessie, had luck to Triptych

You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.March 13, 2026 at 23:57 #1759784Well done Dessie and thanks as always to the House of Raymo.
I liked the Wellington inclusion.March 15, 2026 at 10:08 #1760041Thanks everyone for their kind words, some great fun and tipping by all! Kudos for organising such a fab competition
March 16, 2026 at 09:55 #1760197Congratulations Dessie on winning and some great picks over the week from pretty much all.
a great fun competition and thanks Raymo and mrs Raymo for running.
March 24, 2026 at 20:32 #1760893I’ve messaged the three podium placers about your prizes so check your messages please. Thanks and well done all.
April 5, 2026 at 03:09 #1762098I’ll need to catch up with this Wellie thing. I kept it to the
last day then picked my horses and subs. After all that I had
this Wellie thing. I picked another horse and aded him onto the
1st race. Seems a bit silly now not to use it on the horse you
most fancied in that race, which won at 50/1. A good reminder
for us all, or maybe just me. I won’t make a bollox of it again.
Dessie was a worthy winner, and silent Assasin and Jac are as
solid as they come. I’m delighted with 5th, as good as I deserved.
As they say up here, “If your Auntie had baws, etc etc”Raymo brilliant competition and run superbly. Sorry this is a bit
late, getting to be my hallmark
