Thanks for running the comp Duvva.

Took a few days to get used to the comp is all. Flying now. Make sure you come back for Cheltenham in March

Yeah, Cheers for running Duvva and I'd have ruled the same as you on the other comps. Big congrats Mag.  A truly knowledgeable racing person who's had quite a few good cracks at winning one of these things.  Wouldn't have guessed she'd have claimed her first on the flat though :)

Unlucky Zilt lad. Should have won one of these really by now, but usually forgets to post at least one of the days to be fair.

As if I'd insult you with that kinda shite!

Anyway, I've had about as much of that Pink Barbie garbage as I can take.  It virtually derailed a really good RAWK film thread :)

Duvva needs some MS Paint basics to knock up the trophy himself anyway.

Pity about the ending, but can't argue the result was totally deserved. Congrats Mag and well in Duv for organising. Thought it was going to be yours at one point.


I'll take mid table, which confirms what I already thought about the flats. I'm crap at it haha


Come and take my Cheltenham Trophy if you think you can anyone? 😉😉

Not done the Arc before, thought about it a few times. Let us know what it’s like and how you get on

Congrats on the win, Mags, that's a lot of points from a challenging week.

And thanks Duvva for running this comp, the weather might have shortened
it but it was a lot of fun.

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?

Pretty sure I'd have won if they went on racing. ;D

As for the rules, I think the title should simply be shared between all those who were still in with a chance. ;)

Seriously, though - congrats to Mag Hull, and thanks duvva!

Had enough of racing, bring on the footy comps next week. :)

Nice one Duvva, pretty mediocre defence of my title but was thoroughly expected. Appreciate your work.

Congrats, Mag Hull, some great picks there!  :wellin

Mid-table obscurity for me again…   ::)

Cheers for running the comp, Duvva.

See you all for Cheltenham.

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
I demand a steward's enquiry. I would have had the last 3 winners and avoided the dreaded wooden spoon.
Nah seriously well done Mags

So what the foook happened here?  I take it the last 3 races were cancelled?  Given myself and Mags had the same horses for the last two races it would have all come down to that next one.   I think this was my best chance at picking up one of these bloody trophies - i don't follow the horses at all.

Congrats Mags, and cheers Duvva for running the show.
