    Cheers for this, conundrum. I didn’t realise.

    He gave us a nice winner with Ballista a few weeks ago first time out so hopefully this one can do the business.

    Cheers for all these guys. I’ll send them to him Friday so hopefully Mike can squeeze in a few minutes over the weekend to get back to us. I’m sure he’ll do his best to answer them.

    In the meantime, you have until tomorrow afternoon to post any more that are suitable.

    Questions from Leon Bowdery via Facebook:

    What does Mike think of the barney curley/sportingbet story.?

    Need to know more about Barney and Sportingbet before I can comment on that.

    Does Mike think racing for change can make the sport more mainstream without losing the core fans and if so how.?

    Hadn’t heard about this kez but that is horrible. Sounds so sad. Hopefully his owners will eventually get some closure.

    Cheers Mr.W – a worthy winner. Hope the prize reaches you asap – David tells me it’s fantastic (I haven’t seen it myself).

    Thanks go to Alice Fitzgerald of Primus/Coolmore for kindly donating this prize to us.

    You never know – maybe Glorious Goodwood could be the next one?

    But the question is, who’s faster – junior or senior?!

    Imposing’s 2nd in the 5.00 just adds more point to Danehill Dancer’s tally, and therefore I can confirm the prize goes to

    MR.WILSON

    ….well done, and a worthy winner of such a good prize.

    His selection of 1)Galileo 2)Danehill Dancer 3)Dansili fractionally edges him past

    thehorsesmouth

    ‘s selection of 1)Galileo 2)Dansili 3)Danehill Dancer

    I hope everyone has enjoyed the comp and hopefully we can do another one soon.

    I shall post the formalities after the last but suffice to say, I claim the booby prize!

    After 4.25 (2 races remain)

    Mr W and thehorsesmouth – £634,264

    Mr.W leads by virtue of Danehill Dancer’s £219,897 to Dansili’s £187,854.5

    Kevcal – £595,047
    eddie case – £567,741
    Nathan Hughes and Justin – £563,730

    Gerald is quite correct. Sadly for Kevcal, his Giant’s Causeway would only help him acrue another £31k should Becausewecan win the 5.00. Therefore he can’t catch the leaders. Likewise eddie case’s Dubawi holds no more entries.

    Therefore unofficially it is near certain that the prize is going to Mr W.
