Lydia give Yates a good.......

PAINFUL - listening to him struggling with post-race 'Analysis' every race - not to mention his pre-race poor efforts.

Top card coverage ruined by the bumbling buffoon.

It's not just his communication skills that are lacking, according to my tipster tables, he's worse than zipper, comong in at 71st out of 99.

You've got to wonder what RUK are up to, giving him a gig ??

Doesn't charge expenses - comes in on his bike.

that wasn't yates; it was his gardner steve

hth

WFT, i see from your stats that there are 28 tipsters worse than Newsboy...which are the consistenly bad ones amongst the bigger names? (if you dont mind sharing- understand if you do)

No problem, Duncan

They are............

John Budden
Lambourn
Ken Pitterson
Spotlight (Ben Hutton)
Nick Robson
Spotlight (Alistair Whitehouse-Jones)
Spotlight (Steven Boow)
Spotlight (Alan Sweetman)
Spotlight (Paul Smith)
Ben Linfoot - bet that surprises some
Spotlight (Richard Austen)
Spotlight (Stuart Redding)
Alex Dunn
Alex Hammond
Dave Bellingham
Nick Grant
Steven Powell
Spotlight (David Jennings)
Rory Delargy - that actually surprises me
Spotlight (Alan Hewison)
Spotlight (Richard Young)
Keith Hamer
Tony O'Hehir
Spotlight (John Acton)
Ben Bramley
Spotlight (Jeremy Grayson)

They all have different start times, some going back as far as 2007, and to qualify they must have made 50 tips, and are currently still tipping.

There are many others who no longer qualify.

Cheers WFT. Yes, some surprising names on there...are these for all selections or just NAP selections?

Quito will be seething ....

Wher'es chompy?

in the bath with Dave Compton, i'll give him a shout ..

Tar.

are these for all selections or just NAP selections

That's a difficult one, Duncan.

It tends to naps only, although is someone publishes a next best, that could also be included. With the likes of someone like Ben Linfoot, who doesn't nap daily, I would include all his selections on the day he puts them up.

With RP spotlights, if they ever make the top 15, I would include all their selections, until they drop out of the top 15. That rarely happens, because the vast majority of them are stealing a living, a fact which the Racing Post doesn't seem to care.

Who are the best WFT?
