A few extra early observations

UnluckyStu whose 1 in 3 winners strike rate is outstanding for the toughest handicaps of the season
but only gets him into 3rd spot (at present) :-

Portage 10/1
Outback Traveller 10/1
Librisa Breeze 4/1
Frankie D 7/4
Dancing Star 9/2
Certified 7/2
Intense Tango 12/1
Brando 11/1
Librisa Breeze 11/2


Undecided would have won the 'Reserve Champion award'
he wont be thanking me for reminding him,  his reserves included ...
No Heretic   Won 11/1,   Flash Fire Won 20/1,  Nameitwhatyoulike  Won 16/1
(dont get the calc out Ud    ...    thats 658 or 1316 pts )

Dont get too upset
I think there is a NH version of this just around the corner
Its just what everybody has been waiting for

(well nearly everybody)

Just had a peak over Rose Hill
and cant see any 40-1 shot with a chance
Best of Luck guys

I'm just settling for being abysmal, anyway!

I did spot that late lunge Steph ensured you finished above Undecided

Season Summary

Congratulations to our very worthy winner – Mini me - who blew the rest of us away

Mini me who has led the field since the Epsom Dash result, has had 8 winners in those scores
and proved to be very photogenic, appearing to come out top in umpteen close finishes
winners included :-

No Heretic 11/1
Caspian Prince 11/1
Portage 10/1
Franklin D 7/4
Intense Tango 12/1
Captain Colby 6/1
Sweet Selection 7/1
Yuften 12/1

A Great set of results


TEN2FOLLOWER a very valiant second really going for it with 3 high flying rockets (560,280,264)
a frustrating chase

Stewpot came with a long late lunge to get up into third spot on the post

UnluckyStu a close up unlucky fourth with an outstanding 9 winners   

Earl.Y.Byrd was a very worthy fifth with couple of unfortunate ‘If Only’ big priced seconds

The chasing pack were only just out of the money and provided a constant threat,
one other decent result for any of them would have propelled them into the first three

I always find this comp a bit like a stamina sapping Grand National, 29 obstacles,
all presenting different challenges, with a full range of competitors
elite, professionals, apprentices, amateurs but most of all the enthusiasts
Providing endless opportunities to match yourselves against the elite
One magnificent leap makes it worthwhile anything more is real bonus territory
(Queue the NH comp – free advert for Undecided)
Im glad you all played and hopefully enjoyed it somewhere along the way

Special thanks to Undecided for covering the first month
supporting spread sheets and on-call backup

Dont forget see you next week in the NH comp

Ive searched for last years Cup Mini me this was the nearest I could find to a relevant Handicap Cup

Oh no  here it is



Very Well Done

Well done mini me

Thanks for running the comp' Stewpot c u in next years comp'

Many thanks for all the comments guys - its been a pleasure

Congratulations mini me, top quality tipping, a big well done to T2F and stewpot for excellent podium finishes, and again to stewpot for doing a sterling job running things, thank you

Late lunge, looks more like he eased off too early, and got beaten by a no hoper lol.

Congrats, Mini Me, and thanks, Stewpot

Thanks Stewy and all of you.

I will treasure the Handy Cap mug!

Well done Mini Me good flat season for you ...

Cheers Stew for the work you put in ...
