Let’s get serious for a moment, here comes the following messages…

First: The usual but all important check your scores for errors and let me know if I’d made any.
I will correct it if any are found ASAP . For both weeks

Second : As always I must give my acknowledgement to Pat123 for inspiring this competition.

Third : Anyone wishing to join can do so at anytime It’s never too late.

Fourth. Thank you to all who’s taken part this week. Hope to see you all next week and back those winners.

P.S. The might be a truncheon version on July 20th as I been called for Jury service them two weeks around Saturday 20th. P.S. It might be longer if I’m on a case.

Hi Neil. You’ve given me and Greenasgrass +750 this week, should it be +550 for having a 12-1 winner.
Also , as I’ve picked the last two winners I’ve been called up to see the stewards regarding my improved performance. I’ve been on holiday, enjoying some sea air, which has probably contributed to my picking the right horses. I hope the effect continues for a few more weeks.

[Red Rum 77]

Hi Yahoo, sorry good spotting by the way. I did give you and Green a winning of 850 minus your 100 point stake. It should have been a winning of 650 points minus your 100 point stake. I think when copying the info onto some paper I might have had my bet calculator on 50 pts EW at 1/4 odds at 12/1 because this gives me a return of 850, instead of 50 pts win at 12/1. I’ve checked the other scores to see if the is any error there, which I can’t see any.

Just like those tory MP on the election, I think you’ve had insider information.

Thanks for checking that Neil. Strangely enough I live near Mr Sunak but I can honestly say that he’s not helping me. He’ll probably have more time to do so after the election. If I’m picking horses that include the word Blue in their name or whose jockey wears Tory Blue then you know Rishi has spoken

[Red Rum 77]

I usually pay no attention to gossip, but read that Rishi might not even win his seat.

He’ll finish in the first three. An each way banker. Hope he does OK.

Sorry I haven’t checked this earlier Neil, but I started week 8 with
-90.62 and I had Orazio placed in 3rd at 16/1. I seem to have had the
full 100pts taken off (90.62 to 190.62) I lost 50 on my win bet but
I think I get 125 for my place bet. I reckon I should be 25 pts better
off, ie -65.62 as opposed to -190.62.
