A little tougher day today but clear top scorer with a very respectable 84 points is is Beneath.  He tipped 2 winners and 3 second places.  Well played and that's two very good days for ye man.

Mag Hull!  What happened!?!  Usually such a solid tipper. A severe off day there.

[Buck Pete]

At the end of Day 2 our new leader by a healthy 19 points Beneath.  I'm a little surprised to see that Beneath hasn't won one of these competitions already to be honest.  He's always there or thereabouts.  Perhaps this is his time?  Likewise, goalrushatgoodison.

Robbie is up there on the final day as usual, as is BoRed.  The Messi of RAWK tipping, The Edge, is not totally out of this either, as he attempts to be the first player to hold both jumps trophies simultaneously.  Its a tough ask though but who knows eh?

Incidentally, The Ronaldo of RAWK Tipping naYoRHa2b already holds the honour of winning 2 tipping trophies in one season.  (2021 - Aintree and Goodwood)

As you are all probably aware, the RAWK boards will be closed tomorrow.  So please try and get your picks for tomorrow posted on here tonight or DM me your picks if its too late tomorrow and the mods have locked the threads.

All to play for and don't forget the Grand National bonus points.  A well placed NAP in the big race could be just what the doctor ordered.

Updated the rules on the OP, just in case.  We don't want JT winners. 

***In the event of the leaders being tied for the lead at the conclusion of the final days racing.  The overall winner will be determined by the number of winners picked, if still tied then it will go to 2nd places, then 3rd places and so on until we have a winner.  If the players cannot be split we will have a playoff on the earliest UK meeting on the Monday immediately following the festival***

Thank you for the kind words, Pete. To be fair, while I've had a few good
tries the past couple of years I've managed to wreck good finishes by
blanking whole days here and there. Fingers crossed I've not jinxed
meself here.

Congratulations to the RAWK Aintree Champion Tipster 2023 - Aedge659

Well, we all knew it was possible, but we also knew he had it all to do on the final day.   This guy delivers yet again and in doing so, becomes the first person to win two RAWK tipping majors in any one season.  With both Jump trophies already in the cabinet, The Edge now sets his sights towards Ascot in June, where he aims to complete the RAWK tipping career grand-slam and perhaps line himself up for the elusive season grand-slam at Goodwood in August.

The win for Edge was oh so close. It was all very tense going into the last race, where any one of Robbie, Edge or Salger (the latter pair both having a near faultless day) could have won it with their unique final race selections

Scores and selections going into the final Race

Salger 238 - Pour Les Filles
Edge 231 - Blizzard of Oz
Robbie 215 - Asluckgoes

Blizzard placed second while both his challengers went unplaced.  This provided Edge with the 10 points he needed to overtake Salger for victory.  Incidentally, Blizzard of Oz only beat the 3rd place horse by just 1/2 length.  A 3rd place for Blizzard would have taken things to a tie and I would have had to count the winners each player had.

Salger came so close to becoming the first player to win back to back Aintree titles. Unlucky man and well played.  Same to Robbie, who came so close yet again to his second major title.

Final days scores and overall table

[naYoRHa2b]

[RobbieRedman]

[duvva 💅]

Well done again aedge.

Pete, not that it makes any difference to the winner but I made some changes to my selections and Napped Corach Rambler.

Thanks for running Pete, Roll on Ascot

[oldfordie]

Congrats Ae :wellindge
Thanks for running comp again Pete.
Not a bad Aintree.

[Beneath]

Some lovely tipping there, well done aedge.

Thanks for running this, Pete, it's always fun.

[goalrushatgoodison]

The Edge is the GOAT. No offence to the rest of us but he is wasted on here  I thought I might have done enough but stellar final days from the first and second!

Thanks for running Pete. BTW, you left me 20 points light for yesterday  .

Sorry didn't check for edits

Thanks for running Pete. BTW, you left me 20 points light for yesterday  .

Sorry mate. Did have you as 84 but typo on the table.

All Sorted now. Table above updated

[aedge659]

I seriously don't know how I've done it again. I watch a reasonable amount of racing but I'm far less knowledgeable than the likes of Duvva and Gerry.

I actually wasn't that confident with my pics for the final day, Jonbon aside. I knew Corach would be there or there abouts especially as he always has a strong finish but the rest was mostly reading head to head and collateral form that was available.

I probably won't win another one now 😁

Don't know if any of you do the Free to play Coral super series but managed to pull that off with my pics.

Thanks for all the comments 🙏 Always good fun and adds to the excitement of the day.

[goalrushatgoodison]

Cheers Pete

How much did you get for that Edge?

[aedge659]

How much did you get for that Edge?

Only £32.43 as 770 other people had the right idea, but free money is always nice.

[goalrushatgoodison]

As I said, you are wasted on here  . Well done.

[Salger]

Well played Edge. Reckon I was lucky to be within touching distance going into the last.

Thanks to Pete for running as always.

[Andy2508]

Oh dear, propping the table up! So this is what it feels like to be a blue 

Congrats aedge and thanks for running Pete, I’ll come back stronger! 

[bryanod]

Jaysus thats some final day score alright - if tapped national winner would been quite something.

Not bad day for all the default SP favs after the delay moved it to Corach!

Fair play as always for runnnig Pete, even if you are shite at it....

[Ziltoid]

Don't know why i even bothered 

Well done aedge once again and thanks to Pete.

Although i won £40 on the sweep at work

[Gerry Attrick]

Thanks again Pete and congrats again aedge. Astonishing stuff to find the jumps winners. I’m horrible at it, give me flat racing all day long.

[Red Star]

Well done, aedge, great tipping!

Cheers, Pete.

[liversaint]

Congrats to Aedge, fantastic last day, great score there.

Thanks again Pete, always enjoyable.

[Buck Pete]

The Edge now has his trophy.  Well played again mate. 

[Buck Pete]
