Can I just just get clarification of one thing.

Did Tal really score 0 (zero) points?

I seem to remember many years ago being offered by a very shrewd type, odds-against picking one horse in every race through a six-race card to not finish in the frame, so gawd knows what price he'd have given me to do it five times on the trot.

I tried something different this time. Suffice to say, the waste paper bin contains one soiled algorithm.

Prizes dispensed.

Thanks again for the generous comments.


The case for having a "reserve" horse on the final day seems to divide opinion.
It's not a problem to administrate but it may over-complicate things for the casual entrant.

I understand that it can be frustrating to get the low price favourite when you are hoping for a long shot winner but I guess that it cuts both ways depending on where you sit in the table.

Therefore I intend to leave the rules unchanged for future competitions unless there is a significant wave of support.

I'm definitely in favour of keeping it as it is.

Apart from the result, that is.

for me its all about getting the winner in the last race so i can get as close to 60.0 as i can i make that eh break even point for the week

really enjoyed this week when is the next one?

If Mere is amenable - which I would have thought is highly improbable - we may persuade him to do something for The Open Golf.

This has, as always, been tremendous fun, & Mere really makes it tick along nicely, for all his obduracy.

The Open starts 16th July.
I'm happy to run something along the same lines as The Masters competition if there is sufficient interest (and sufficient markets exist).
Alternatively, if anyone has any ideas for freshening the format up, let me know.

Count me in if you do.

Happy to go with the flow as to format etc.

These Threads are really good for blonde, in so many ways.

The same format as The Masters should be fine as it's a truly international tournament with all countries/continents well-represented.

Deal me in please.

I wonder if it would be possible to add some "match bet" facility, so I could challenge the likes of, say, Methuselah, Big D, Eso Kral & Co. I could earn a tidy few bob that way.

Big_D finished in top half of the table; you finished in the bottom half.
I believe that you owe him breakfast, lunch and dinner.

That matter is currently in dispute, & has gone to arbitration.

You don't want to get a reputation with the Welsh for welching.

Let us not forget the lattes as well.

Also, I hope you will be able to attend at some time Vince? Beers are on tikay.

Just a bump to remind you Gramps as the week is now upon us :-)
