    Pat, just a note saying that Stan James are no longer in business. Unibet have taken responsibility for any outstanding bets made on the Stan James site. I know this because of my Ante Post bet on AS DE MEE which I placed with Stan James at the same time as writing it in your competition. :mail:

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    BigG lands the Aintree Hurdle with L’Ami Serge @ 8-1 and takes over at the top of the table, Kris comes up with the Bet365 Mile winner Addeybb @ 5-2 and in the Grand National Middle_Of_March finds the 4th Anibale Fly (12-1) with his ew bet, but honours once again go to VTC thanks to Tiger Roll at a huge 50-1. Well done guys.

    Happy days for me as Masar lands the win bet in the Epsom Derby at a very nice 33-1. Also this month CharlesOlney finds the winner of the Achilles Stakes Muthmir (3-1). Now we only have the 5 days of Royal Ascot left before the end of the comp so get those bets in.

    Hi Pat, just want to make my appreciation for your Ante Post comp.

    First with 2 days left well done Big G.

    Second I’m clearly better in National Hunt races than Flat. It was your competition which made me consider and back REGAL FLOW (MIDLANDS NATIONAL WINNER AT 40/1). :yahoo:

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.

    Cheers Red, I do like all these comps. They certainly help to keep the grey matter ticking over :wacko:

    BigG still continues on top with just the one day left, some big priced winners needed by the rest of us now.

    It’s good to see all the winners, certainly makes up for all the losers.

    Firstly, let me say what a brilliant shout that Masar post was. Had missed that but just seen it. Superb stuff Pat.

    Secondly, I too have to agree with Raymo and thankyou for running this comp. I’ve very much enjoyed it since joining in these last few months.

    There were three winning bets for Middle_Of_March over the last 2 days namely

    Hardwicke
    Crystal Ocean
    win @ 9-4

    Coronation Stakes
    Veracious
    ew @ 16-1

    Diamond Jubilee
    Bound For Knowhere
    ew @ 14-1

    Plus I landed the win in the Diamond Jubilee with Merchant Navy @ 4-1 but no one was able to overhaul BigGat the top of the table so well done BigG on landing such a tidy profit throughout the comp.

    If there is enough interest I am happy to run the competition again. I will be away for a couple of days but will get the ball up and running on Tuesday. Anyone can post any selections on here if they wish before Tuesday. Don’t forget we will be using Betfair prices for this comp.

    Thanks Pat and Nathan, I’m a bit shocked I hung on today. I had 2 down for today but as both
    were non runners I felt a bit like a sitting duck to be shot at. I knew it would be close, and
    you weren’t far off MOM starting with Chrystal Ocean winning and I thought Bound For Nowhere
    looked all over the winner until late on and not to mention Dreamfield who was mugged on the
    post. If they had gone in there wouldn’t have been much in it.

    Many thanks Pat for running this, it must be be a helluva lot of work checking this one out
    and it’s very much appreciated. Looking forward to starting again if you can find the time
    to keep it going :good:

    Well played BigG! Really good score.

    I started the comp a bit late so I’m delighted to finish in the top three and in a profit. Don’t talk to me about Dreamfield bud – I’m not quite over that one yet. Lol. One of my biggest bets of the week.

    Cheers for organising it pat. I will be joining in again if the comp does indeed return.
