Not too much happened last Saturday. Well, Derek T (is it the ''Big Fella'' man) got 4pts, when his horse was a non-runner and the jolly old favourite ''levels you devils'' sauntered in to put some points on the board. Just shows how Lady Luck can help at times.
One of the tipsters contacted me convinced Shukman's One For Rosie had won and I had made a mistake saying it had finished second. I checked a few times because I have been known to make mistakes. However, it was correct, although I understand the BBC gave it as the winner or made the assumption the horse had won. It was all happening.
So, the leaderboard looks pretty much the same apart from Derek T moving into fourth place. Jodonovan leads with 14pts, HCE second with 10pts, Shukman with 6pts in third and Derek T in fourth with 4pts. Still, plenty to place for so get those tips in nice and early with a 1pm deadline. Good luck to all.

A fair start to proceedings with three point scorers. Jodonovan heads the field with 14pts, while HCE sits in second with 10pts. The only other points came from Shukman on 6pts. We have five Saturdays this month so still plenty to play for. There's slightly less in the pot this month with Mickishi and family heading to Cheltenham. Wishing them a good few days and plenty of winners. Derek T, our newest tipster, put in a decent show with a third place last week and will be putting some points on the board in the next couple of weeks. Please get those tips in nice and early as we have a 1pm deadline. Good luck to all.

Another month. Winter has moved to the first day of spring. However, for the tipsters of our little competition, the north wind has a bite after Winter pocketed a second month running with a brutal victory of 50+ points. Can anyone stop his winning ways? No one has made it three wins in a row but he's in tremendous form. Plenty of players will be limbering up ready for action for this long month of five Saturdays. We have a new player joining the ranks. It's great to have Derek T making his debut. Good luck to him and all those who take part. Please make your entry fees if still outstanding. We have a 1 pm deadline, but get those tips in as early as you can to make my life easier.
Good luck to all.

Well, what can I say? The tipping competition looked quite open then Alan Winter found a big, juicy, mother-of-all winners and hit the nail on the head. I'm sure Mr Winter bangs home those nails with a mighty sledgehammer. He stuffed 43.25pts in his wallet and unless someone finds a handy riposte he will be pocketing £170 pounds. As it happened, other tipsters showed some form last week, too. Jodonovan pockets 13pts, Dan The Man and Gazmachine latched on to the same horse and 9pt.
Let's take a look at the leaderboard: Winter 43.25pts (looks hard to beat), Dan The Man 19pts (needs a nice winner), OneEyeEnos 16pts (fighting chance), Gazmachine 14733pts (needs a big priced winner)& Jodonovan 13pts (it can be done). Basically, everyone else needs a 20/1+ winner.
Considering Mr Winter won last month's competition he is in flying form. Get those tips in by 1pm deadline.
Good luck to all.

Congratulations to Winter winning this month's competition with a magnificent 50.25pts.
After last week's absence of meeting due to equine flue, we have a selection to choose. We had quite a few point scorers last week. The biggest OneEyeEnos 16pts, Dantheman 10pts & few more smaller shows from Bird 4pts, Gazmachine 2.4pts & HCE 1.9pts. A tally of the leaderboard shows OneEyeEnos with 16pts, while Dantheman is in second with 10pts, in third is Gazmachine 5.733. Still, plenty to play for with this and next week to grab some points.

Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the Grand National has changed out of all recognition since it was first run, as the Grand Liverpool Steeplechase, in 1839. Details of the National Course in its early days are sketchy, but when the runners headed ‘out in the country’ they really did, into the open countryside, some of which was ploughed, beyond the confines of Aintree Racecourse. Obstacles include natural banks, brooks, ditches and hedges, a stone wall and two standard hurdles in the home straight.
Time, and changing attitudes, saw some of those obstacles done away with and the “country” incorporated into the racecourse proper, to create a recognisably modern National Course. Of course, the National has continued to evolve over the years, to protect the welfare of horses and jockeys, without lessening the spectacle of what is, after all, an iconic, unique steeplechase.
Of all the Grand National obstacles, the one that has achieved most attention in recent years is Becher’s Brook, a 4’ 10” fence on the take-off side which, at one point, had a steep 3’ drop on the landing side. Historically, it was not uncommon for stricken horses to slide back into the infamous ditch, but the ditch was filled in 1989 and the landing side has been modified numerous times, to create a less precipitous drop of between 6” and 10”.
Similarly, the traditional, timber frames and guard rails of many of the National fences have been replaced with flexible plastic or foam-padded alternatives and guard rails have been raised to provide horses with a clear line of sight. The height of some fences has been reduced, slightly, over the years, but the filling in of ditches and levelling of landing sides at some of the more ‘macabre’ fences, such as Becher’s Brook and The Chair, has had a more profound effect on safety.
Aside from modifications to the obstacles, the National Course has been widened in parts, so that horses, loose or otherwise, can safely bypass the fences, without causing major interference to the remaining runners in the race. The position of the start has also been moved closer to the first fence, by a half a furlong – resulting in the shortening of the overall distance by the same yardage – in an effort to reduce the speed of approach and, hence, the number of fallers.
Stricter entry requirements, increased prize money and the compression of the handicap to encourage highly-rated horses to run, coupled with extensive safety changes, has arguably made the Grand National a more competitive, but less hazardous, race than ever before.
Twenty years ago, the winner of the 1999 Grand National, Bobbyjo, raced from 14lb out of the handicap and although he clearly didn’t have too much weight to retain a winning chance, the same cannot be said for the other 18 runners who raced from out of the handicap, four of whom were at 30lb ‘wrong’ at the weights. By contrast, in the 2018 Grand National, despite the lowest-rated horses to beat the ballot being officially rated 142, as they were in 1999, they all carried their correct weight of 10st 5lb, comfortably inside the handicap proper.
They say it is a long week in politics and the same is true for horse racing. With the abandonment of racing due to equine flu we are left with one meeting at Naas to ply our trade. Not ideal, I agree, but that is the fun of the Saturday Tipping Competition. We are all in the same boat. Last week saw a quiet resumption with just two point scorers. The Gazmachine leads the way with 3.333pts, while HCE has just 2.25pts. I'm back in West Palm Beach, Florida, so please get those tips in as early as possible. We have a 12 O'Clock deadline. Please, make sure the tips are in by the deadline.

A New Year. A new tip competition. Last month saw a couple of outstanding performers with Lindybops and Betmanmike flying high with 68pts and 38pts, respectively.
Who will win this year? Who will win this month? It's a relatively short month with four Saturdays so I doubt we will be seeing such high scores and, perhaps, a more tactical play. Time will tell. Please make your entry fees nice and early. We have an 11am deadline so get those tips in promptly. Good luck to all.

Wow! This tip comp tests the ability of all. Betmanmike looked to have the competition in his hand with 38pts then Lindybop finds a huge winner an ''impressive'' 33/1 shot who looks a true star. They put 68pts in their satchel. Other point scorers include Yvonnew 20pts, Racing Mama 12.25pts, Rawnsley 10pts, Longbow 7.5pts, Shukman 4.75pts & Mickishi 3.75pts. Can anyone catch Lindybops? It seems a tall order but you can guarantee there is a big priced winner waiting to be found. We have a 11:20am deadline so please get those tips in as early as you can. Good luck to all who take part.

Congratulations to Lindybops who won this month's competition with 68pts from Betmanmike on 38pts, with Yvonnew 20pts in third.
The fourth week of the tips comp. We saw a couple of smart tips last week and Betmanmike bolstered his lead with another 16pts and sits at the top of the table with 38pts. Yvonnew found a nice winner and sits in second place with 20pts. These two have set the competition alight. In third place is Rawnsley with 10pts, Longbow 7.5pts. Other scorers include Shukman 4.75pts, Mickishi 3.75pts and Racing Mama 3.25pts. Still two weeks to get into the frame but it's looking a task to beat Betmanmike. Get the tips I nice and early with an 11:30 deadline.
Going out at 12:30 - so update results later.

Well, we had a decent comp last week as Betmanmike latched onto a nice 10/1 winner and put 22pts in his pocket. He has probably set a fair challenge for the field but there is still time to fight back if you can find a winner. Rawnsley sits in second place with 10pts, while Longbow has 7.5pts in third. Other points scorers include Shukman 4.75pts, Mickishi 3.75pts & Racing Mama with 3.25pts. Who will WIN this Christmas bonanza? Our biggest prize for £180.

The second week of our superb tipping competition. To be fair, there wasn't too much going on last week with only two points scorers. Shukman leads the way with 4.75pts, while last month's winner, Mickishi, sits in second with 3.75pts. This is a relatively long month with five Saturday's so it should be a decent winning score. However, you can never quite tell. Get those tips in nice and early as we have an 11:30am deadline. Good luck to all those who take part. Pleased to say we have an old player come back for this month's competition OneEyeEnos. Great to have him back in the fold.

A great start for one of our newest players winning last month's competition. Mickishi has made a dream start to proceedings and must be hopeful of going close this month too. He took the spoils with 22 points, with Gazmachine and Rawnsley not a million miles behind. It was an intriguing competition. A new month to get your teeth into and another new player with Lindbops going for glory. Great to have had a string of new players of late adding to the fun and prize. I can see us being up to £200 a month soon and that is definitely worth playing for. So, if you fancy a tip comp that is worthy of your time then ask friends or take a second entry to make your luck go a little further. Please get those entry fees in nice and early. Another 11:30am deadline, so please get the tips in as early as possible. Good luck to all who take part.

Please get those tips in nice and early (the evening before if possible) as we have an 11:30am deadline. Good luck to all who take part.

Congratulation to Mickishi winning this month's tip comp with 22pts, from Gazmachine in second with 16.0005pts, Rawnsley in third with 14 pts and HCE in fourth with 4.2pts. Thanks to all who took part.
Not too much happened last Saturday. Well, Derek T (is it the ''Big Fella'' man) got 4pts, when his horse was a non-runner and the jolly old favourite ''levels you devils'' sauntered in to put some points on the board. Just shows how Lady Luck can help at times.
