Thanks very much mate, no winners, but a really good day for the big EW’s again. I’ll wrap up the thread tonight

[Venture to Cognac]

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……

Well done again Mark

Thanks mate, hoping to go out on a high, been a Fab season, and a couple of winners on the last day would be great

[Venture to Cognac]

Nearly all over bar the shouting, but I’ll do the formalities later today

Lossiemouth the winner for over half of you today, with GDC, Homer, and Roses all collecting from Golden Ace

Ken collected from his excellent sub King Rasko Grey, while Dinoblue scores for Corm, Tonge, and Homer.

Smashing doubles today for Homer, GDC, Roses, and Corm

Thanks guys, been some season for the 100-1 shots, and delighted to collect from another. He was main bet of the day, and the fact my only other bet was Midnight Tango EW at 80’s, meant it was one to remember

Last Day of my season, and been a great season.

The Saturday always dominated by the three big handicaps, which are always crazy competitive.

This year though, the two chases in particular are outstanding renewals, and the 1505 in particular is easily in the top five handicaps there’s been this season. Twenty Two Runners, and I can only rule one out. In the end, had to go with three.

Shanbally Kid won it last year, seven pounds higher here, but the seven pounds wouldn’t have stopped him last year. Not concerned with his PU at Fairyhouse. Fishery Lane is one I haven’t given up on at all, and old Duffle Coat is a huge price if Fairyhouse was just to blow cobwebs away. A big if

Went for 2025 Winner in the next too, with Bill Baxter, and also going with fellow Brit, Dartmoor Pirate. This is another fabulous renewal

Going with Escaria Ten in the opener, and I’ll round off my season with Kopek De Mee in that mad hurdle

1430 Escaria Ten 22’s EW4Pls
1505 Duffle Coat 50’s EW5Pls
1505 Fishery Lane 16’s EW5Pls

1545 Bill Baxter 33’s EW6Pls
1545 Dartmoor Pirate 14’s

Unbelievable mate, the price was a mystery, and I thought just for a moment I was collecting. Delighted with that

Easier day for me to score today with BigG the only one with a winner in Salvator Mundi, while Gladiateur scored bonus points from Jimmy Du Seuil

Jimmy Du Seuil 12
Salvator Mundi 32.5

[Venture to Cognac]

Great start today with Techno Davis EW at 18’s, and the next two were much smaller. Unfortunately the bet on Franciscan Rock was a greedy one again, and made it a losing day.

Techno Davis a big eyecatcher

Friday a lot quieter day, but main bet of the day will be an EW on Fr Gilligansvoyage in the opener. I bet him now and then, never wins, rarely places, but ajwaus gives a good spin at big odds

1540 Punchestown – Fr Gilligansvoyage EW4Pl
