October's Tip Comp - Week 2

The second week of the tip comp. A pretty average start to proceedings apart from Mickwalkersnr who fired in a great win and put 18pts in his pocket. In a relatively short month of four Saturday's, he may well have the field on the back foot. Plenty of race meetings and high-class races to make your tip selection so get those tips in nice and early with a 1pm deadline. Please, make your entry fees if still outstanding.

October's Tip Comp - Week 1

A new month! Last month saw HCE take a rare win in the tip comp. After an unprecedented number of second places. It was a fair competition with an average points win. Who will win this month? You can never tell. I'm hopeful of an even bigger prize this month with Dan The Man back and a new player to join the ranks. Good luck to all who take part. Plenty of race cards to make your selection. Please get your tips in by 1pm (deadline). It helps me work out the day's proceedings. Also, get those entry fees in nice and early as it saves time.

September's Tip Comp - Week 2

A great start to proceedings with 5 tipsters putting points on the board in week 1. I would imagine that is something of a record. The leaderboard looks quite competitive with Jodonovan on 9ts, HCE 8.66pts, Glueythepig 7.5pts, Bird 3.8pts & Mickishi 3.25pts. Plenty to play for. The lead is fair without being substantial so basically, everyone is in with a shout. We have a 1 pm deadline, but please appreciate the first race is 1:10, so the tips need to be in early, definitely before 1pm. Last week we had a couple of late arrivals and it makes my life hard work trying to get on with work and look to see if they have arrived. So, please get them in on time. A few entry fees are still outstanding so I would appreciate those being paid, too. Good luck to all who take part.

September's Tip Comp - Week 1 (7th September)

A new month and lots of excitement for this September. Last month was great competition and Gazmachine won a with three winners and two seconds. Anyway, he won the cash. Who will win this time around? We have a new player: Liverbird. Craig has his own horse racing blog and loves his two-year-old racing, so I'm sure we will see a few talents going well. Please make your entry fees and get your tips in by a 1 pm deadline. 

Good luck to all.

A few close calls especially Mark J in the last losing by a short head and a nose at 33/1. 

August's Tip Comp - Week 4

It's been a busy day. Lots of races. But it's Saturday so it means it's time to sharpen your pencil, think, write down a tip and throw a couple of sugar lumps high in the clouds in hope Pegasus is flying high. Just one winner last week for Winter, who had a twist of fate in a non-runner leading to a winning tip. Those are the rules, so good, bad or ugly, the points add up. As it happens, it was enough to push Winter into the lead with 26pts. In second is Gazmachine with 24.654pts, while last month's winner,Bird, has 22.1pts, next best we have Mickishi and Michwalkersnr both on 12pts. It's an exciting month and we still have this Saturday and next to work out the winner. 

Please get those tips in nice and early, especially if you have an early runner. We have a 1pm deadline. (Get them in early).

Good luck to all.

August's Tip Comp - Week 3

The third week of the tip competition and it is living up. Four players put points on the board last week. The best of those being Mickishi and Mickwalkersnr, who scored 12pts apiece. Bird, went close with a huge priced tip, which held on for a handy 7.6pts. The Gazmachine found a winner with 3.454pts. So the top of the table looks like this with Gazmachine 24.654pts, Bird 22pts, Winter 14pts, Mickwalkersnr 12pts & Mickishi 12pts. Please get your tips in nice and early as we have a 1p.m. deadline.

August's Tip Comp - Week 2

Last week saw a lively start to proceedings with three players putting points on the board. 

Leading the way is Gazmachine who found a potentially smart juvenile in Persuasion who returned an each-way wager worth 21.2pts. Second, best is last month's winner, Bird, who put 14.5pts in his pocket. While Winter is a fraction behind in third place with 14pts. It's a long month with 5 Saturdays so plenty of time to get those points in the bag and, perhaps, an opportunity for an impressive month's winner. A win is a win whether a fraction of a point or a wheelbarrow load. 

We have an even earlier start tomorrow with a 1 p.m deadline. Please, make sure, if your race is early, you get those tips in a good time. I don't want any tips being forwarded after 1 p.m because it brings about complications. 

We may have a new player starting next month, so that is something to look forward to. 

Good luck to all who take part.

Note: not sure what is going on with Shukman tip as it is a completely different name. I suspect it is Great Prospector, which is a non-runner. 

August's Tip Comp - Week 1

Well, it is a new month. I'm hoping for a couple of the regulars to be back this month to add to the fun. Time will tell. Last month was all about two tipsters Bird and Betmanmike. Why? Because not one other tipster put a point on the board. That really does take some doing. But it just shows how easy and difficult it is to win our little competition. Anyway, it was great to see Bird bag a tidy win and he will be hoping to make it two in a row. We have a 1p.m. deadline for the tips so get them in nice and early. It makes my life a little bit easier and you all know that we have them done and dusted. Last week, I had a few internet problems which just goes to show why we need to keep things efficient. The quicker the tips are online the less we have to worry. Good luck to all who take part.

July's Tip Comp - Week 4

The end of the tipping comp is near completion. Bar two players, this month has been pretty poor. Why? Because no one other than Bird and Betmanmike has scored a point between them. That takes some doing! Can you remember the old board game Going for Broke where you started with a Million pounds and won by losing the lot? I think we have entered that realm. Anyway, the competition isn't quite done so there may be a surge of winners. At present, Bird has a decent lead with 22.4pts. Betmanmike is in second with 14pts. While everyone else is joint third (or last) with a BIG FAT ZERO. Lots of money still to be won so if you want to take a piece of the Key Lime Pie, I suggest your tipping cap, sharpen your pencil, scribble the correct horse name, time and meeting and say: ''Oh yes!''. Please get those tips in nice and early with 1pm deadline (if you are betting on the 12:55 Gowran Park make sure it is early). Good luck to all.

July's Tip Comp - Week 3

Sorry for the late upload on Friday evening. I've been away for a few day visiting Key Largo and Key West. All great fun. Just not enough hours in the day. Thankfully, there hasn't been too much horse racing fro me over the week else I would have never caught up with proceedings. Anyway, pleased to back to the tip comp. No winners were netted last week so it's all the same news with Betmanmike leading with 14pts, while Bird sits on the second perch with 7.4pts. Get those tips in with a 1 p.m. deadline. Good luck to all.

July Tip Comp - Week 2

The second week of this month's tip comp. Not too much going on with a couple of point scorers. Betmanmike leads the way with 14pts, so has a few points in hand of Bird, whose original selection was a non-runner, and so got a touch of luck with the lowest number favourite in his race and put 7.4pts in his pocket. Just goes to show the tipping comp can work in many ways and winning and losing sometimes in the lap of the Gods. Still, plenty to play for so get those tips in nice and early with a 1pm deadline. If any entry fees are still outstanding please get those sorted this week. Plenty of cards to find a winner so take the chance to put your name at the top of the leaderboard. 

Good luck to all.

July's Tip Comp - Week 1

Another month to be a winner of the tipping comp. That's the plan for everyone who takes part. Did you know that some of the tipsters have won several hundred pounds? Winter has almost broken into the £1000 mark. Last month saw a dead-heat between Eric Winner and Mark J. It was a competitive month more interesting for the fact of just about anyone could have won the month with a decent winner. I imagine this month will see a higher win total. We have a 1pm deadline so get those tips in nice and early if you can. Please pay your competition fee. Not sure if we will have one or two players missing this month.

1:40 Chelmsford - Ossco 2pt w (Longbow) 5th

Note: Bird's tip selection was calculated as a win rather than each way so he achieved 7.4pts rather than 11pts as originally detailed. 

June's Tip Comp Week 5

The final week of this month's tip comp. I'm posting this Thursday evening as I am off to Great Yarmouth races on Friday and back Saturday morning. A day at the races and an evening in the casino. So a little bit busy. This month has been pretty slow to get going with small points adding up here and there. However, it is one of the most intriguing conclusions to a tip comp we have ever seen with three leaders on 9pts: Eric Winner, Betmanmike & Oneeyeenos. Next, best is HCE with 8pts, Dan the Man 7.5pts, Jodonovan 6pts and Gazmachine 2.8pts. Fascinating. Who will win? Could be anyone as half a price could see a tipster come from nowhere. Get those tips in nice and early with a 1pm deadline.  

Tipster selections: 

1:40 Windsor   - One Step Beyond 2pt w (Longbow)4th 
1:50 Newcastle - Staxton 2pt w (Eric Winner) 1st (17pts)

The two free entries for next month's competition go to OneEyeEnos who finished 3rd with 15pts and HCE who finished 4th with 9.75pts. 

Thanks to all those who took part. 

June's Tip Comp - Week 4

Another week. This month's tip comp has been a slow burner because last week, not one tipster found a winner. So, nothing has changed at the top of the table. Eric Winner heads the field with 9pts, with Jodonovan in second place with 6pts. No one else has a point. I predict someone will hit a decent priced winner this week. Fingers crossed. Thankfully for all tipsters, this is a long month with five Saturdays. Get those tips in nice an early with a 1pm deadline.

June's Tip Comp - Week 3

The third week of the tipping comp and I'm pleased to say we have a 4:55couple of points scorers. Last week saw a mixed bag of results. However, Eric Winner sits at the head of the table with ith 9pts, from Jodonovan who is in second with 6pts. Everyone is in joint third place (because they haven't scored). Still, plenty to play for with this long month of Saturdays. A couple of meeting has been abandoned due to the weather, so keep an eye on the rain. Get those tips in nice and early with a 1pm deadline.

June's Tip Comp - Week 2

Sometimes you can throw 50 darts and still miss the bullseye. Perhaps we should take that down to 17 because not one single tipster found a winner last week. I think there were a couple of second places. The good thing about no winners is that there are no losers. So this week is a fresh start. We must find a winner or two this week. It's odd-on. So, there's not much more to think but get your tipping cap on and get ready for lift off. We have a 1 pm deadline (which is pretty close to the start of the first race) so please get your tips in as early as you can. We still have a few outstanding entree fees so get those sorted, too. 

Good luck to all.
