HONOURABLE MENTIONS

This section is dedicated to those who nearly scored. Some fall into a few categories.

Quelle Farce had the fourth (Mini Yeats) as his EW choice and the runner up as a reserve vhoice.

BigG (Graham) was really unlucky with all three choices, his EW shot finished 4th, his reserve was the winner and had the third place as his winner.

Greenasgrass and Robnorth both had the 4th place as their EW chance.

007Canfordcliffs had the winner as a reserve and the runner up as a win choice.

Both John Gooch and Refuse To Bend had the 3rd place as their win choice.

kendicate gets a mention because the winner was his reserve choice and the 3rd was his win choice.

Dfward could have had the forecast, but both selections was as his reserves.

Triptych and Steve75 had the 3rd place as the winner.

While Wyldesyde and myself had the runner up in same spot. Wyldesyde also had the non runner and with no reserve selections means he only had 1 runner.

Phew quite a list, sorry if I missed anyone. Next comes the actual scoring.

…AND THE POINTS GOES TO…

ILLAVIM got points from the winner and a placed horse.

Illavim’s old score (-450) – stake (100) + winnings (450 + 46.88) = new score (-53.12)

Myself also had the winner and bonus points from the forecast

Red Rum 77’s old score (+139.06) – stake (100) + winnings (300 + 29.35) = new score (+368.41)

LANDAFAR, MICHAEL WALSH and REFUSE TO BEND was others who correctly predicted this week’s winners and their points are as follows.

Landafar’s old score (-381.25) – stake (100) + winnings (450) = new score (-31.25)

Michael Walsh’s old score (+46.46) – stake (100) + winnings (300) = new score (+246.46)

Refuse To Bend’s old score (+50) – stake (100) + winnings (300) = new score (+250)

NATHAN HUGHES and RAYMO61 completes this week’s lot who found a winner, with one of the placed horses.

Nathan Hughes’s old score (+12.32) – stake (100) + winnings (40.62) = (-47.06)

Raymo61’s old score (+575) – stake (100) + winnings (46.88) = new score (+521.88)

WYLDESYDE didn’t get a winner, but did only have one runner instead of two so his stake is halved.

Wyldesyde’s old score (-600) – stake (50) + winnings (0) = new score (-650)

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 : 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 : Again not the best week for a top class handicap as the first choice was cancelled, but thank you to those who had taken part. A new leader in Raymo61 (well done, Ray)

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

P.S. For anyone interested Cheltenham Antepost competition has started with some changes to it, please check it out and it’s not too late to enter it at the start.
