    Well 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!

    Well done Dessie – some very consistent tipping over the four days! :yahoo: Congrats also to Silent Assassins and Jac for making it onto the podium. :good:

    Huge thanks to Raymo and Tracey for running this comp so impeccably well! :rose: It’s always a lot of fun, even if I only picked one winner in four days of racing :wacko:

    Well done Dessie… its a tough comp to win .. :yahoo:
    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’oh

    Well 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 :good:

    Not 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 :yahoo:

    Top marks to Dessie73, the highest score of the day and a worthy winner :yahoo:

    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 :good:

    Tracy and Raymo, you made a fantastic effort and success of a really
    difficult competition. I know how hard it is. :good:

    Thanks 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 :good:

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    I’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 B-)
