Ah well, assuming DartGuru isnt posting


So the top 3 then

Ned - Tidal Bay ew
cantos - Enter Paradise
Drew - Vic Venturi

So this means that the only people who can win are

Ned, if he gets the winner OR if those mentioned below dont win
Cantos if he gets the winner
Drew if he gets the winner
tso if he gets the winner

Nobody else can win

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.

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 )

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.

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