3.35 Nmt - Hoof It
Good Luck Everyone

All quiet on the northern front as we enter the drama of the final day. Not one of the top five could find a winner and it was left to Earth To Mickey to show how its done with an 11/4 shot that edged seconds out of fifth place. lagmorian didn't move anywhere with his handy 5/2 winner, but it gave him added ammunition for a final day push into a promotion spot. It only takes one or two big winners from the middle of the pack to cause havoc at the top and that's not unusual on the final day. So watch out, top bods!

Nap of the day came from the inestimable Trusty, who found unaccustomed comfort in Sandbetweenyourtoes at 13/2, lifting him five places up the table. Great shout Trusty. madhatter continues to creep up the table, joining MOB in finding a winner in Chil The Kite. Even if he doesn't manage the big final leap to glory, mad's recent little run should embolden him for the month to come, while MOB, with a string of second places, can consider himself unlucky not to be higher up the table.

Hard luck story of the day though was probably top2rated, who was just a length or so away from landing a 25/1 winner in John Kay. But trier of the day must surely be Virgin, who appeared to be banking on 66/1 Aiaam Al Wafa rocketing him from last to first in the table. Then again Virg could simply have been having a laugh. The horse certainly was, last in the betting, last in the race. But, as I keep telling Virgin, it's the taking part that's the key, so well done for that!

Let's have an all-out effort today people: for many of you there's all still to play for! The very best of luck.

AND DON'T FORGET THE LAST-DAY RULES!!!!!!!!!!!

Exning Halt 9.00 Lin

All Or Nothink     03:45    Ches

Thanks Reged, for your hard work and willingness to make that extra yard...

Definightly  7.00 Cork

Thanks for doing the settling Reged & Trusty

Dangerous Midge - 4.40 NewJ

My god what has happened to the Midge. On his old form he would win this by at least 20L.

Thanks for taking over Reged, a much better settler than myself supplying a full commentary each night and completely unflustered by anything thrown at you. You never needed to pick the Ausy beast though.

Good morning

Crackentorp - 3:20 Newcastle

Close yesterday with a biggie, this will get me promotion though

On a more serious note. Thanks for all your hard work Reg, been a great month and you look as good as up.

Petara Bay 3.20 Newc.

Appreciate all the work you've put in Reged - firstly for finding enough winners at the right prices to get yourself promoted (1.01 surely) and secondly for taking over the reins from Trusty. 

Thanks also to Trusty for keeping the show on the road in the early part of the month.

Eton Rifles - 2.15 Newcastle

Lexington Bay 3.20 Newcastle

Thanks for all your messages people. It really has been a pleasure - I like these comps and just glad to be able to do something to help the fun!

So anyway, in a desperate, but most likely futile attempt to clip Monte's wings I'm going for:

Kimbali 3.45 Chester

And here is the latest state of play - ie horses the rest of you CAN'T pick:

Ardross66 - Hoof It
Cloughie1 - Lexington Bay
dukeofpuke - alfred hutchinson
elvissss - Definightly
lagmorian - Eton Rifles
madhatter - Majestic Myles
pension fund - Rex Imperator
Reged - Kimbali
seconds - Exning Halt
shanelee1966 - Crackentorp
Tightfisted - All or Nothin
top2rated - Petara Bay
Trusty - Dangerous Midge
Virgin - Cheveton

That still leaves you about 500 to choose from!

and an important reminder:

All entries must be in by 2.00pm, time of the first race

Newcastle 3.20 French Hollow

Thanks

caress  ~  High Office 3.20 Newcastle

Horny38DD  ~  Merchant Of Dubai 3.20 Newcastle

Thanks

Reged   

Can I change mine ... I know what happened last time I changed but does it have to be a non runner and does mine now have to be in an earlier or the same race

I fancy one in the 3.35

Cheers

Questions, questions, questions Virgin. Fraid I'll have to consult a bank of lawyers about this but put it up anyway. Off the top of my head I can't see a problem since you are well ahead of any possible deadline.

Okay my team of top international lawyers agrees with me. It's fine for you to change but it must be posted by 1.44pm (because your original race starts at 2.45).

The downside of all this unfortunately, Virgin, is that top teams of international lawyers don't come cheap, so you owe me £2,576,895.76. This horse had better win!

* It can be any race that otherwise accords to the rules. (That'll be another £115,678.37 please)

This is for KBGJ please

Icon Dream 3.20 Newc

for Earth To Mickey

Rayvin Black - 2.40 Chester

Sry Reged, wrote Cork for mine instead of Curragh.

Trying to confuse you

Michelangelo 2.00 Newmarket

.. and I am easily confused elv, so thanks!

Afternoon Lads

Libranno - 3.35 Newmarket.

Reged I'd just like to echo a lot of the earlier comments and say many thanks for all your efforts in keeping this show on the road.

Also to Trusty for all his efforts at the beginning of the month.

Good luck everyone.

Reged    £2,576,895.76

Blimey I will have to see if I can get legal aid .....

Don't forget the additional £115,678.37. Are there any banks open today? Got a balaclava?

Thank U Monte and good luck with yours.

Reged

I think your solicitors are wearing the balaclavas

An honest day's work for an honest day's pay ... nowt wrong with that

Joe Packet - 4.35 Wind please

Many thanks to Trusty and Reged for all the hard work keeping the competition running.

So Virgin, you are sticking with your original? Two mins left!

Sos Brillante

to get me out of the pits or I will have to start my own Div 4 league

gl

telepathy!

desperation more like

Well best of luck with it anyway mate!

I was pretty sure no-one else would have picked it anyway

Cheque's in the post

That's it - doors locked. Best of luck everyone!

First blood to zipper - but its odds on so he ain't goin places today

Looks like a lot of futures will be decided in the 15.20, where a lot of you have really gone for it with big priced naps.

Here's what's at stake with prices a few mins ago!

Cloughie1 - Lexington Bay 9/1
shanelee1966 - Crackentorp 22/1
pumphol - French Hollow 22/1
KBGJ - Icon Dream 25/1
Horny38DD - Merchant Of Dubai 28/1
caress - High Office 28/1
top2rated - Petara Bay 40/1

The best of luck!

Mind you, if Virgin's 150/1 shot comes in 15 mins later you can all kiss the title goodbye!

It's the fav wot dunnit!

But well done everyone for havin a crack! isn't it boring when favs win eh?

Very well done Monte Christo for 10/3 Libranno - reckon that just about seals it, but not quite a mathematical done deal yet!

Thanks Reged.

Unlucky with yours there - a v.good shout.

Yeah, but two lengths away from glory! And it wouldnae have made a diference. It was 14/1 when I picked it but came down to 9

Very well done Monte, barring amazing drifts in the remaining prices YOU ARE DE CHAMP!!!!

But it also looks as if I'm certain to stay second so not such a bad day!

Tabaret  6.40 Donny

Congrats to Monte - nae bad for a vermin picker

And many thanks to Reged for all the good work.

miscman, very sorry but last day rules apply - your pick had to be in by 2pm. Real sorry about that

Actually I may have bin a bit hasaty in my second prediction - the maths says otherwise! Not yet a done deal.

One day i will read those bloody rules!

There's two can still overtake meif they win - elvisss (7pm race), pension fund (4.30)  and my best mate and Aussie horse-luvin Trusty (4.40).

I know misc man, it's a bummer. But I hope you've enjoyed the month and will be back refreshed in the next!

* these 3 can overtake me

Ring the bells - a great strike by pension fund - Rex Imperator in the 4.35 - is a WINNER!!!!!

I'll have to check but I'm pretty certain that puts him in the promotion zone, although sadly (for him!) a penny or two short of second place. But VERY WELL DONE!!!!!

Nope, he's about 50p short ... (it was 14/1).

Great shout pension fund.

Jeez, matrhs was never my strong point - in fact pension fund has leapt into second place! VWD!

Afraid dukeofpuke's nag is a non-runner and, at current prices, seconds 7/4 pick is not going to be enough to sneak him into the top 5, although the biggest loser of today's shennagins would appear to be Earth To Mickey, who gets bumped out by pension funds leap. So it looks pretty much that, barring a miracle, these are the five promoted:

Monte Christo
pension fund
Reged
elvissss
Ardross66

It just remains to be seen if elvisss's pick in the 7.00 at Cork/Curragh will land him second spot or not (think its the fav). But this is not set in stone, I hasten to add, until the final table is published, given i've made two wrong calls already today!

Right, that's it from me. I'm being dragged out again. So well done those promoted, commiserations to those who tried and missed. Final table will be very late I'm afraid.

Thanks Reged.

I'm going to get you a job with Sky as your final day running commentary adds to the drama.

Enjoy your evening chief.

Haha! I stopped taking Rupert's shilling just last year!

That's you and me both well.

Okay, there's bin a delay to my departure (cos certain people who shall remain nameless (but she's indoors) couldn't organise a p*ssup in a brewery. So that just gives me time to congratulate elvisss, who takes second spot with his 13/8 winner. VWD!!!

And, inspired by what I've seen on another DIV thread, I will attempt to publish the table as it stands, with just one result to come which I don't think will affect the promotion slots. Great stuff you top three!
