    Wow, nearly as exciting as the racing itself! Congratulations Chestnut, and also Gladiateur, brilliant scores from you both, and Mickyjp snapping at their heels.
    Huge thanks to Raymo and MrsRaymo for the superbly run competition, as always.
    Enjoy the cakes :yahoo:

    Well, I had prepared an image of three people on a podium and added the names of the top three. :good: Silly me, I thought it would be a case of simply pasting the picture into my post, but it seems not. :wacko: If anyone knows how to add an image on here, please enlighten me and maybe I could do that at the end of the next competition. :-)

    Anyway, thank you to the top three for giving us such an exciting afternoon. I was biting my nails wondering who would emerge triumphant.

    :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
    Congratulations to Chestnut for a fantastic final day score (and top scorer today to boot!)

    :good: :good: :good:
    Commiserations to Gladiateur for a well-fought battle, but well done all the same for coming in second

    :good: :good:
    And finally a well-deserved pat on the back to Mickeyjp for achieving third place.

    We hope you have all enjoyed the week and got some fun out of entering the competition. We have certainly enjoyed it. A final note: looks like the cakes are going to be on Raymo’s plate tonight!!! :cry:

    See you all next time :bye:

    What a competition. What a long and hot week of racing.

    Huge commiseration to Gladiateur, it was so close to being a tie. That was some daily score from you on Friday.

    Also well done to Mickeyjp I believe we were actually tied in 2nd place at one point today.

    Thanks to Mr and Mrs Raymo for running the competition.

    Yes, big thanks to the Raymos for a very instructive comp!
    I’ve never been involved with such an interactive competition before, since I’ve always just been an ante post nail the price and ew conditions kind of guy. A whole different raft of considerations involved here, and a lot of fun!
    Thanks guys!

    A big thank you to the Raymos for running this competition.

    I was away in Zante while it took place, which with the 2 hour time difference made it tricky to keep up, but kept me interested until the last.

    Many thanks.

    Photo Finish…
    Well done Chestnut & Gladiator what great tipping from the pair of you. :yahoo:
    The Tipping Kings of Royal Ascot :yahoo:
    Mickeyjp also played a blinder in what to me was the most difficult, but exciting, 5 days of racing I have ever
    known.

    Big thanks as usual to Raymo and Tracey who really make these competitions so interesting by posting up
    their thoughts on the leaderboard as the day progresses. :rose: I didn’t trouble them much this year but not for want of trying the horses just weren’t firing for me.
    Also thank you to David for putting up the £25 prize for the winner.

    Well done to all who played it’s been a brilliant week of top class racing and I this year Ascot showcased itself so well with top facilities for the horses especially for cooling down in the hot weather.

    Looking forward to the next one. :good: Jac

    What an exciting comp – coming down to the SP of the winner of the last race! It can’t get much closer than that.

    Congrats to both Chestnut & Gladiator for a great week of tipping, and of course to Chestnut for winning it all :good: Well done to Mickeyjp for being right there and claiming a spot on the podium.

    Huge Thanks to Raymo and Tracey for running an great comp for us! You two are the best. I’m already looking forward to the next one. (Goodwood?)
