Very good score that BigG
and defending your crown is no mean feat
I’ll be telling me old mate TAPK of your success
Thanks again Pat for running thisBlackbeard to conquer the World
Great scoring Graham you certainly are the returning ante post king
with shrewd AP bets across both the NH scene from Cheltenham to Royal Ascot and 20/1 Move Swiftly on the flat you’ve managed to do just that and run away with this competition 
and from Bobby in 2nd place, another great AP judge..well done BigG and Vtc for staying ahead of the bookies this year
Many thanks to Pat for running another enjoyable competition and updating all our scores a marathon task
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...WD bigG and VtC
And thanks for comp Pat, looks a fiddly nightmare to keep track of and score, much appreciated.Thanks very much all, I think I’m becoming the Jamie Spencer of Ante Post betting.
Same as last year, I get myself well behind (I was still plumb last before Aintree)
and then weave my way through late on. I’m glad I got there in the end. Well done
Bobby ending up in profit, it could easy have gone your way. You had more than a few
close calls, Beat The Bank in the Queen Anne recently at 25s comes to mind…you were
robbed mate. Many thanks Pat for running this, it goes without saying it’s one of my
favourites. Looking forward to the start of a new one
