HONOURABLE MENTIONS

This is the section I’d started previous seasons on those really unlucky selections.

Just missing out of the frame we had Fugitif and those players who sided with him

007Canfordcliffs
Landafar
Refuse To Bend : had him for the win

Waiting unused as reserves

Kendicate and BigG had the runner up : Notlongtillmay
Landafar, John Gooch and Steve75 had the winner: Stage Star

Finally those placed horses that was selected to win, and with the final blunder from Stage Star at the last, some nearly collected.

Euroalien had the unfortunate runner up

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.

Second : Welcome back to those who like the National Hunt season, most of the races will be of the National Hunt except when the main venue gets cancelled for reasons or the Lincoln in spring.

Third : Thank you for those taking part, this competition was inspired by Pat123

Fourth : My usual TRF vs Pricewise Cheltenham Competition starts in the New Year.

Looking forward to your TRF V Pricewise competition Neil, I’ll
definitely have a crack at that.

I often think about Pat123 when I’m putting my horses on here. It’s
a pity we have no way of knowing why Pat suddenly stopped. There’s
the most likely scenario which doessn’t look good, although he could
have had some medical issue, perhaps a stroke. If he is still with us
and can see this, I thank him for all his work over the years. If not
I acknowledge his work anyway and thank him nonetheless.
