    Thanks Nathan.

    I feel a bit like Churchtown Boy going to the last fence in ‘77!

    Although I’ve got a 25 point lead, one good winner could wipe that out. Thanks Nathan for organising this and best of luck Broadsword for the third and final leg. :heart:

    I thought it should have been 28 scored for me yesterday.

    14 points for Sonigino (10/3 winner)

    6 points for Butcher Hollow (5/2 second)

    8 points for Lecky Watson (9/2 second)

    Still anyones game as we come to the final week.

    “I feel a bit like Churchtown Boy going to the last fence in ‘77!”

    I enjoyed watching that one again Broadsword, when it actually was the
    National, but who knows, you might be Red Rum this time to Rummy’s Crisp
    in 73. Who indeed knows, it’s a funny old game.

    Good luck to both of you, I’ll be watching with great interest from the safety
    of my armchair on Saturday :good:

    P.S. Best of luck Broadsword, even though I go into the final leg with a slight lead, I’m weary of someone tipping a real outsider. Anyway these horses I’m happy with, and will be carrying my money on them. :heart:

    Red, what can I say? Many congratulations.
    Top tipping today, and across the three legs of the final.
    I’m only sorry I didn’t give you more of a fight!

    Thanks Nathan for running this :good:

    Unlucky Broadsword, you were better than me in the first four weeks constantly outscoring me. You just needed the luck you had then.

    Thank you everyone who took part, hope some of you put money on your choices and sent the bookies running. :heart:

    Well done Neil with a well deserved win, you’re never far away with
    any of the big competitions mate. Superb stuff :good:

    Broadsword, you’re definitely one we are going to have to keep an eye on
    this year, and next. Great result for 1st time at this. You’ve gone in the
    notebook :mail:
