Daylight Cup 2023

Thanks Nathan.

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

[Red Rum 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.

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

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

Still anyones game as we come to the final week.

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

[broadsword]

Thanks, BigG. It is indeed a funny old game – I’ll be doing my best to keep things interesting on Saturday.

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.

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!

[Nathan Hughes]

RedRum quickly put an end to any comeback with the first 3 winners and becomes the 2023 Daylight cup winner
Great effort from Broadsword in making the final

Thanks Nathan for running this

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.

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

this year, and next. Great result for 1st time at this. You’ve gone in the
notebook
