THE Cheltenham Tipster Competition 2014

BOOM
 

Eso, where are you now, Son?

Did Dylan not enter?

Sigh, only saving grace is that for the first time we didn't do a LL.

Cheering you on for fourth place sir.

Better make it fifth to be sure.    (The ***'ed entries are only in one of the pools).

You're one of 13 tied for the wooden spoon currently. I rate your chances of cashing rather better than those of the old man.

Ah good point Vince, I had Jakally pinned for fifth place but I shall move them both down a place accordingly :-)

The plan is working Vince.

It would be soooooooo sad if tikay bubbled this competition.
You would have to have a heart of stone not to .... laugh.

Laugh today, you'll not be laughing tomorrow, it'll be Humble Pie time. I'll be fine-tuning the Algo tonight.

I'm Choc Thornton, approaching the last, full of running. How can I lose?

I'm pretty sure that you've screwed your chances of winning the wooden spoon which I thought that you were odds-on favourite for.
Dubai's algorithm was much more finely honed.

Amazingly you're the only person to have selected him "on the nose".

Today's charity race is not included in the competition so that concludes today's schedule.

After twenty races, if you had bet £2 on your selections you would have invested £1,720.00 and returned £1,198.48.


Selections for the final day's racing need to be with me by midday tomorrow.
Good luck all.

[Marky147]

Hopefully on a Dynaste like run up the hill 

[BorntoBubble]

Let's go! Timing my run to perfection

[edgascoigne]

Stealthy headway from Father, whilst I appear to be keeping a bit in hand to deceive the handicapper for next year (again).
