    Well done Euroalien and those filling the places
    I was hoping to stay in the top 3 but if you don’t hit the big ones you just know on here plenty will do
    Thank you as always to the Raymo’s on such a well drilled precise operation
    Enjoy the deserved cakes

    Thanks Everyone! I’m shocked :wacko: but very happy. :good: My Wellington paid off big time. (Yes, I’m a big fan Raymo). Congrats to Raymo & Catherine (Tonge) for some great selections over the three days, for making the podium & keeping it close!

    Huge thanks to Raymo and Tracey for running this competition like a well oiled machine. Looking forward to the next one.

    Oh shoot, I wish I had done this earlier. I counted up my final day’s
    score and I’ve been wrong before but I think it came to 50, not 42.
    Perhaps you could give it a 2nd look.

    2.20 Cathedral 2nd 9/2 ….. 8 points
    2.50 Align The Stars 2nd 13/2…. 8 points
    4.10 Efsixteen 1st 11/4 *nap*…. 28 points
    5.20 Sahara King 2nd 9/4…. 6 points

    Total 50 points.

    Sorry if this upsets the applecart a bit :rose:

    Graham I am so sorry you are right I missed the 8points for Cathedral!!

    Overall that makes you tied third with Tonge :good: :good:

    I am not sure Tracey could have fitted two people on the podium graphic but once again apologies and to be honest I tried so hard to be accurate at the end due to the scores being so close and counted all the scores at least three times but must have had a blind spot.

    I am sorry if it spoiled the end for you and I have no excuse :cry: :cry:

    So as an afterthought both the winner and the third get a detention for being late !!! :mail:

    :rose: :rose: So sorry this has happened Graham :rose: :rose:
    Have a look back to the leaderboard and graphic and you will now see your name in joint third place. :heart:
    I pondered over trying to fit another “person” on the 3rd box, but thought that might be a bit of a squash!!! So I hope what I have done is acceptable. :rose: Maybe that is something I need to look into for future competitions – perhaps I could try two very thin people???!!!
    Once again, many apologies.

    Please don’t worry about it Raymo and Tracy, I was more concerned about
    raising it in case it caused a fuss after a tremendous competition. .
    I know from experience your head is birling by the last day so don’t think
    about it at all.The main thing is that you two are superb at running these
    competitions, all I had to do was sit on my derriere and enjoy the racing.
    Thanks so much again :good:
