    Three Stripes Life, 5/2 14 Points, was a popular choice with plenty
    siding with him. The 2nd, Might I, 16/1 14 Points, wasn’t without a
    little support. Well done all :good:

    There were 8 punters who thought the fav would get turned
    over with Gentlemen De Mee, 7/2 and 14 Points, and they
    were right. Well done :good:

    Those that stayed loyal to Edward still get 2 Points, so not
    a total disaster for them.

    I’ve worked out why Quelle Farce didn’t take part on the 1st day,
    he didn’t want to embarrass us. He’s only gone and ran up a 16/1 2nd,
    16/1 2nd, 7/2 winner, and Sam Brown, a 28/1 winner, who he’s napped.
    40 Points doubled up to 80. What a day Quelle, good luck in the rest :yahoo:

    Well in the most spectacular 1 day performance I can recall, competing
    in only 2 days of the competition, the very very worthy winner of the TRF
    Aintree Competition is Quelle Farce :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

    Many congratulations Quelle, what an incredible 1 day score of 157 Points.
    I take my hat off to you :good:

    The Krypton Factor takes the runner up position with a score of 140 Points,
    which would have won many a 3 day competition. Great score and very well done :good:

    Final place on the podium goes to Silent Assassins, who had a quieter day today,
    but still ran up a great score of 123 Points. First class performance :good:

    Many thanks for all that competed, I hope you enjoyed the competition. I think
    admin mentioned at the Cheltenham Competition they might come up with some prizes
    if one of these was run. I’m not sure on that one. Thanks again, I had fun (sort of, lol :scratch: )

    Thanks to BigG for running the competition.

    Great work QF! Hope you backed a few of them as well.

    BigG, thank you so much for running such an excellent competition.

    Huge congratulations to QF for that astonishing tour de force today.

    I’m delighted to sneak into the top ten, thanks to the horse with the funniest name in the bumper nicking fourth at a decent price…

    Well done Quelle Farce on some selecting on the final day. There was me cursing myself for Nul Points on the first day and you were busy doing a Paisley Park!

    Well done with Sam Brown. I had it top rated on my Ratings Thread but left it because of the going… When will I learn?

    Thanks BigG for running the competition and the in-running updates show some fair commitment. I did at least save you some adding up!

    Poor from Quelle Farce to bother entering any Friday selections. Clearly not neccessary.

    My thanks to Big G, and his glamorous assistant, also.

    What a sensational performance from Quelle Farce! Thanks for running this Graham, and I will certainly take a most unexpected podium!

    Wow Quelle Farce – amazing selections! :yahoo: I guess you could have taken Friday off as well :yes: Very well done! Congrats to TKF and Silent Assassins for making it onto the podium! What a competition :good:

    Big thanks to Graham for running this one, I really appreciate it. These competitions are always great fun!

    Many many congrats to QF who did what most of us could only dream about. :yahoo: Hope Admin can rake up a prize or two for the victors. :good:
    I managed to go through 21 races without finding a winner and thankfully Newmarket starts next week.

    All thanks goes to Graham for running these 3 days completely on his own and managing to make supportive comments between each race to spur us on. :rose: .believe me when you are marking up the scores that takes some doing and take my hat off to both Graham and Nathan who did so many of these comps in the past. :good:

    I wasn’t able to offer Graham assistance this time and I put my hands up to admit that marking up these comps is a marathon if you don’t have some sort of spreadsheet knowledge :mail:
    To keep competitions like this going we could all do with some assistance. :yes:
    Love these comps and thanks again to Graham for keeping it going.

    Must also say well done to TKF and Silent Assassins who both played a blinder and to Raymo for winning the cakes.
    Jac :heart:

    I ran out of paracetamol and had to pull out Tatling but I hear you’re in the running for the job now, so get those killer heels on and your champers and plastic glasses in a port-a-bottle bag and stagger along to the ‘Glam Assistant Tent’ that has been set up in the Lounge where a specially selected team of TRF ‘fashionistas’ :wacko: will assess your chances.
