Great fun this Mere, thanks for running it although I fear it may be habit forming as I've just located a pub showing the racing for lunch whilst on my travels so I can assess my progress!

Thanks.
I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'm sure your enjoyment may be flavoured slightly by your lofty position on the leader board and a suitable tipple - good luck!

Previously, we've run similar events for Royal Ascot, Aintree (Grand National meeting) and, a slightly different US Masters (golf).
I'm always happy for suggestions for other competitions that people may enjoy.
The more people that join in, the better.

[tikay]

I was touched off on the line in that one, a short head away from two consecutive wins.

I'm all over this.

Mere will have to be nice about me now.
