    Glad that my stable goes in the Scottish National meeting mob-handed. However, Myretown taking on Hombre De Guerra wasn’t something I’d planned for!

    I’ve had some ropey Sandy Thomson horses in this over the years, but Dedicated Hero paying his way, with his second win

    Mark going to be very hard to peg back now, but still all to play for in behind with loads of you still in contention for second and third

    Plenty of you with both winners today, and Gaelic Warrior easily the best horse we’ve seen this season, and he scored for 20 of you

    Well done everyone

    I was willing on Grangeclare West on Wednesday, but not to be, and firmly put in his place by an excellent winner.

    Has anyone ever called you “fit”? 🤔

    Smashing winner RTB, but I can assure you that wasn’t my sentiment at the time. I’m sort of over it now

    Hello Neighbour 38

    Delighted to announce MarkTT as our 25/26 winner. Been a cracking competition again this year, with it tight all the way, top spot changing hands many times, but in the end, Mark sprinted clear. A very deserving winner, and just for good measure, wins the bonus race prize as well. Great to see a TTF stalwart win it, and Mark has been here from the start, and was the first one to to get singled out for a “great pick” when he dug out Many Clouds all those years ago

    Great effort from Waroftheroses in second. More of a slow burner, and wasn’t really on my radar for prizes, but scythed through the pack late on. Cracking effort. Message sent mate

    In third is my good pal Lemons, who’s done well picking up third, considering he’s a wee bit out the loop, being out the country half the year. Strictly speaking I should pocket the £50, as I talked him into taking Jango, and that made the difference lol. Joking aside, well done Mark, and speak to you whenever

    Big shout out to Goodfellow, who’s absolutely superb at this comp, and was there all the way, only running out of steam the last week.

    Some great lists this year. Rob and TYT with their usual dark ones, Homer and Jac with their themed teams. My favourite pick this year was actually mine lol. Panic Attack did me proud, that day at Newbury was magic, and I was delighted to get points from a Sandy Thomson horse, Dedicated Hero, after years of picking less profitable ones from the yard

    Really liked Star of Guiting, and Chasingouttheblues for Rob, while I thought King Rasko Grey and Kitzbuhel, were tidy swaps for Ken and Jac

    Thanks as ever to you all for taking part, and as I say every year, huge thanks for those who donated their hard earned for the comp. It makes a huge difference

    Many thanks to……

    Many thanks to John for incredible generosity sponsoring the bonus race prize. Another easy win for Mark

    I haven’t actually updated the win of Lossiemouth, as it made no difference (I’ll do it next 48 hours)

    Well done again Mark

    Truly, genuinely honoured to have won this – as VTC says, there have been many, many years of mid table finishes with the occasional jewel picked out and this year it all fell into place.
    Congratulations to everyone else for making it yet another fascinating renewal of this prestigious competition.
    Brighterdaysahead and the upheaval in the 2 mile hurdle division did me a favour

    Massive thanks to VTC for running the competition…..again and to Cormack, the forum and all the contributors.

    And I’m just about to go on holiday so the wonderful prize money will be greatly appreciated!
