Ian, I would like to ask for a fair hearing in front of three independent judges. The only reason I mentioned David Pipe was because he was very high on my list, too.
Sorry, sir, the rules are there in black and white.
Moving on, Round 2 will be posted after midnight.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"To recap, unless there are more valid entries by midnight, the following progress into Round 2.
Nathan Hughes, Purwell, Cork All Star,
The Krypton Factor, Gladiateur, Ghost Of Rob V and Homer Simpson.Unless there are further valid entries by midnight only these seven contenders can participate in Round 2.
These seven have put up what should now be thought of as nominations to the six categories.
– Which UK racecourse would you close? Nominations: Bath, Chester, Chelmsford City, Exeter, Cheltenham and Worcester.
– Which owner of UK-based racehorses would you ban forever?
Nominations: Rich Ricci, The Queen, Alex Ferguson, Amo Racing, Sheikh Mohammed, Katie Price.– Which UK trainer’s licence would you permanently withdraw?
Nominations: David Pipe, Mark Prescott, William Haggas, John Butler, Nicky Henderson, Mick Easterby, Saeed Bin Suroor.– Which UK jockey’s licence would you permanently withdraw?
Nominations: Ryan Moore, Robbie Dunne, Gavin Sheehan, Harry Skelton.– Which firm of bookmakers would you withdraw the licence of?
Nominations: Coral, BetFred, Star Sports, Unibet, Paddy Power, Ladbrokes.– Which member of the racing broadcast media would you issue with a one-way ticket to the Planet Mars?
Nominations: Mick Fitzgerald, Tony McCoy, Tom Stanley, Ed Chamberlin, Graham Cunningham, Alice Plunkett, Francesca Cumani.The seven contenders are now required to look at the overall nominations and select a nomination in each category other than the nomination they made themselves. However, if someone else made the same nomination as you, you can still vote for that if you wish.
Do not cast your votes until Good Friday commences at midnight.
I am posting this now simply to try to engender overall forum interest and maybe attract other late entries before midnight.
At midnight I will edit the thread title and Round 2 will officially commence.

Love this!
Anyway, Tonge failed to edit in compliance with the rules and sadly doesn’t make it into Round 2, so it’s just the Magnificent 7.
Many thanks to Nathan and Gladiateur for impeccable Round 2 entries – they progress to Round 3.
Awaiting the other five….

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"So, with the votes of Purwell, The Krypton Factor and Ghost Of Rob V to come, I have counted the votes in so far in all six categories and there are currently six clear category leaders.
But that could change.
The deadline for voting and Round 2 to close is set at midnight on Good Friday (tonight) with details of Round 3 announced then (or tomorrow morning if I’ve fallen asleep by then!)
