    Just a little housekeeping and I wouldn’t have mentioned it but …my Day 5 score was 35 and not 12.
    and my points total for the 5 days comes to 182 and not 194 although if you add my 5 days together at this present time it adds up to 159 which I cant understand and wondered if there was a glitch somewhere. I don’t want to be claiming 194 points when I only scored 182..luckily my 6th position doesn’t change….thanks Graham
    My points were…
    Al Aasy won – 14
    Align The Stars won – 14
    Consolidate 3rd 3 points
    Native Warrior 2nd – 4 points.

    It really isn’t that important Graham as the compy has ended and you did a grand job in getting those columns to be straight and aligned and I can tell you I did spreadsheets and Excel a long time ago now and I would never have got my head around them like you did. :mail:

    Thanks again Graham.. :rose: Jac x

    Raymo, what threw me was it was a dead heat. Looking at the
    scores (quickly) as it was sitting 2nd in the results, I
    mistakingly took it for 2nd and marked accordingly. I had
    turned the sound off on the telly as it was a distraction
    so I missed it was a dead heat. Apologies, sorted now.

    Jac, no idea what I did, it doesn’t even match my written
    sheet, which is correct. I think fatigue had set in by that time.
    Apologies, it’s fixed now

    Refuse To Bend, I’ve got your 10 for Great Bedwyn, can you say
    where you think the other 8 points comes from? (I might be under
    the knife by the time you answer, but I will get back to you) :good:

    Graham. Many thanks for doing the post race corrections for all of us ‘the columns’ were fighting you everytime you posted them up they somehow had a will of their own it was a marathon competition and thank you for stepping up to run it. :heart:

    Will be thinking of you today and hope all goes well with your operation and take The Raymos advice, lots of cups of tea and plenty of rest. ☕️☕️🍪😴😴💤💤 Jac x

    Not important BigG but Relentless Voyager in the first to me was 8 points for second.

    The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.

    Like to give a big thank you to all those keeping score in this I think that’s TRIPTYCH on day 1 and Big G on the others. My picks was really uninspired apart from Witness Stand. A coincidence selection because of recent advents.

    The best things in life are free.
    But you can give them to the birds and bees.

    Silent Assassins was the only other with Relentless Voyager. I have added the 8 on.
    Apologies SA.

    Thanks everyone. Can’t believe it as I was disappointed with my picks’ performance yesterday (apart from Al Aasy). I think it was more a case of others losing rather than me winning so commiserations to them (especially Hot Fuss). Sadly, it in no way resulted in any financial success at the races yesterday, though I still had a nice day (even though my cousin put a tenner on Witness Stand purely because of the name and hasn’t stopped going on about it!).

    Thanks to everyone who organised and kept scores etc. Even more challenging than usual with the dead-heat.

    Congratulations Catherine! :yahoo: Very consistent picking over five days! Well done to HotFuss, Graham and Nathan for making it to the podium.

    Big thanks to Graham (BigG) and Jac (Triptych) for scoring this tough competition.
