So sorry. My apologies

I'll take Post Impressionist if that's allowed. Race not off yet.

[Barneylfc∗]

I'll take Post Impressionist if that's allowed. Race not off yet.

Might've been off by the time I posted this actually. Not that it matters 

[duvva 💅]

Luckily for you Barney I don’t think I can accept that as it’s after Post time. I need to pick the non runners not the thirds!

Hey Mag.  Just thinking.  Since you gave us all Coneygree in 2015.  Bradstock seems to have hit a bit of a wall.  Pretty shocking season just gone too.

I know you know him well.  Did Covid hit his yard hard?

[naYoRHa2b]

Is it normal for a bookies to pull places last minute? I got fifth with music society and it was paying 5 places on WH, I've just checked and they've changed it to 4.

Might be because HMS President was a late non runner, sometimes the t&c’s will say they’ll offer so many places as long as there are a certain amount of runners

Yeah that'll be it mate defo

Yeah as duvva has said, pretty much every bookies offer extra places depending on number of runners.

Hi Pete,
They’ve been doing a bit of Point to Pointing lately, but have a nice crop of youngsters coming thru who should be out this year so will keep you posted!

SCOREBOARD with 3 races left

Mag Hull 301
Ziltoid 296

Ziltoid with the 3rd in the last race closes the gap to 5 points. The next race is very important as they have the same horses in the last two races.

Just announced there will be an inspection to see if racing can carry on in condition

[goalrushatgoodison]

Just when Ziltoid is coming with his/her (well-timed) challenge the stweards are meeting to decide if racing can continue!!

I hope it goes ahead if only because it is such a great battle at the top!

[duvva 💅]

AND ITS OFF

[Buck Pete]

Jesus, that's rough Zilt.

Glorious Goodwood it ain't

[duvva 💅]

Well that’s a shame, but it looked pretty terrible Ground in the end.

In these circumstances I think we’ll have to go with the current scoreboard. Both leaders have played their Naps, and although mine was due to go in the last I can’t think of any other way to decide it.

So massive congratulations to Mag Hull who wins the 3rd Glorious Goodwood tipping contest.

Well played to Ziltoid who was just 5 points behind.

Unfortunately we were robbed of an exciting finish by the weather

I’ll post the final scores in a bit

[The G in Gerrard]

Aw crap I was having decent day!

[Buck Pete]

Out of interst Duvvs. How far behind were you and other challengers?

[Andy2508]

Well ain’t that a shame! It was a bit of a bog to be honest. Unlucky Ziltoid but congrats Mag, still a great points tally 

And cheers for running Duvva, roll on the jumps!

[Mag Hull]

Well ain’t that a shame! It was a bit of a bog to be honest. Unlucky Ziltoid but congrats Mag, still a great points tally 

And cheers for running Duvva, roll on the jumps!

Feel a bit of a fraud winning that so apols Duvva & Ziltoid n thanks again for running Duvva!

Pete n Duvva - we could have a tipster of tipsters award for 2023 with most points across all 4 legs - not me that’s for sure

Out of interst Duvvs. How far behind were you and other challengers?

It wasn’t impossible for rubber soul or me to win in terms of points available, but a lot would have to have gone right for us and wrong for Mag Hull and Ziltoid. And without any pre agreed rules for this I think taking the scores as are is the only way of deciding. Perhaps something to consider for the future?

Feel a bit of a fraud winning that so apols Duvva & Ziltoid n thanks again for running Duvva!

Pete n Duvva - we could have a tipster of tipsters award for 2023 with most points across all 4 legs - not me that’s for sure 

No need to feel like that, a very deserved winner. After 5 tough days punting 301 points is a great total. Ziltoid loses very little in defeat either. Better ask Pete about the pink trophy as he does the magic there

Thanks for playing all

As many have already said - Roll on the greatest festival of all - Cheltenham

[goalrushatgoodison]

Congrats Mags - great picking and a fully deserving winner.

Hard luck to those who were still in the running, paticularly Ziltoid, who was in with a great chance if racing had continued.

Finally, thanks very much to all involved in keeping this concept going throughout the racing calendar. Obviously a special mention to Duvva for this week.
