Favourite each week - £155.00
Winner each week - £2320.00

Well done to Ned and only fitting that he should get the winner on the last day of the season. Wonderful stuff and some remarkable scoring.

Some interesting points. Virtually all of us would have beaten a permanent favourite backer. And Ned's score is a third of what it would have been for somebody who had backed the winner each week.

Well done all and thanks for taking part.

Any changes you would make for next season ?? All feedback is welcome please. Grand National - two selections a good idea or not etc ??

More points reduction for non posters or keep it as it is ?

Anyway, cheers again and the Flat Racing comp starts next Saturday.

tso · 28/04/12 - 15:48

Congrats Ned:cool: and Cheers Darren

for running comp.

Think everythings fine as it is really;)

[Deleted User] · 28/04/12 - 15:52

Ned, some fearsome tipping there - well done.

Darren, thanks for the competition. I don't know how it can be improved.

dtcdtcdtc · 28/04/12 - 15:57

Well done to Ned with the winner as well

Thanks Darren. Can't think of any improvements

bamber · 28/04/12 - 16:02

well played ned, and thanks darren for the comp.

Drew Peacock · 28/04/12 - 17:04

Congratulations Ned and just like Tidal Bay, you coasted home to victory.

Thanks Darren for all the work involved and I can't think of any changes needed.

Terrence Chant · 28/04/12 - 17:16

Congrats Ned, went out in style!

Cheers Darren for an impeccably run comp.

Psycho_Ned · 28/04/12 - 17:50

Thanks all

entered this comp every season and normally couldn't tip a wheelbarrow in it!

Having the winner of the national and the bet365 gold cup in the same season, probably won't be able to manage that one ever again!

As for the comp Darren, doesn't need changing imo, works fine (I would say that at the minute

)

swingaleg · 28/04/12 - 18:51

Well done Ned............:)............never in doubt from about 4 out !

Thanks Darren for top admin.............:)

See y'all next week for the Flat !

Well done Ned, some great picks there.
Thanks to Darren for an excellent comp as usual.
The two GN picks was a good idea, but other than that I wouldn't change a winning formula.

DimSum · 28/04/12 - 23:36

Well done Ned,great scoring.It's been fun playing,thanks to Darren for running this competition.:)

cantos · 29/04/12 - 14:27

That National photo finish will haunt me forever.

Realale · 30/04/12 - 10:38

Brilliant stuff Ned, well deserved win!

Thanks again DL, you can't improve on perfection!

davethecue · 30/04/12 - 21:40

Great tipping Ned and thanks as always to Darren

I had backed Auroras Encore at the Scottish Grand National last year when it came second, so i knew it was a hidden gem

see post #693 in this old thread
