Final overall table:

2026 Team Tipster Champions are…....Tips Out For The Lads

Congratulations Tips Out For The Lads, victors once again!Grin
CagliariG turned in a captain's performance to lead his team to 2 round wins and 3 runner-up spots.
Each Way Thieves take 2nd place, after 1 win and 3 2nd places, great teamwork!
The Shrewdies needed the win in this last round to have any chance, still, 3rd overall with 1 round win is nothing to crab at, well done guys.
Racing Demons finish 4th, very consistently up there but never quite enough to win, once runners-up and 4 3rd places.
Cleeve Hill Mob actually won 2 rounds, including this last one, but the in-between was lacking.
Humbugs had their moment of glory, while Lucky Pins, last year's champions, had a year to forget.

Well Congratulations to the E.W. Thieves Team take a bow & a pat on the back for a Great Second spot

Maybe like me  when we entered the competition again several months ago
we felt a bit obliged as much as filled with optimism that we still had the potential & with a fair wind things could, go really well, we could actually WIN
It turns out we just fell short of our DREAM and we ended up a gallant praiseworthy second
So Congratulations and like most roller coaster rides I am sure we had a few thrills during the ride

A special mention to Foxy being our top scorer & most consistent player for keeping our spirits up, but it is a Team game and everybody chips in often at the most critical times which really keeps us ticking over 
Its the taking part that matters .... Well done to all

Extra special thanks to Undecided & other teams for supporting the comp

I have to admit that I am getting too old and not operating at the same level I was used to, I am only using it to fight off dementia, not sure its working,
missed out posting my big hcp selections when it mattered yesterday
I put things  in Trackers but cant remember why ..... Lol

Enjoy your Success & Summer  .....Many Thanks

I may well post in here on the odd Saturdays with my value bet...feel free to use it

Morning Thieves, and congratulations for reaching 2nd place while carrying me the whole way.One small score in 16 bullets was a shocker. I'm afraid my enthusiasm to participate was not matched by ability to pick winners for the team!! Its been tough for me but thats a massive plus for all your efforts to get the team into 2nd!

Cheers to you Stewpot for guiding the ship through yet another competition with your leadership. It really does keep the juices flowing whether successful or not. Special congratulations to admirably consistent Foxy, our top gunner whose efforts greatly helped the team into a challenging position.

As always Thieves, Onwards and Upwards

A very enjoyable comp and we did really well bit disappointed with my contribution but that’s racing ,thanks captain for all the effort you put in and thanks to the team for undoubtedly trying there very best ,it’s quite amazing how hard you try with this comp as it’s just one bet a week I know it’s fun but in the real world you back a loser and move on to the next bet,yet crazy as it seems it hurts more when one runs bad for the team ,the division comps are not really for me I’ll see the year out but then retire ,however I do look forward to us all getting back together again if undecided is kind enough to do another one,again thanks stewpot and thanks team enjoy the rest of the summer’s racing if it’s just half as good as last week we’re in for a treat ,I honestly believe the last 5 days were the best racing I’ve ever seen .

Got to Dash
but will be responding to Jimnast, Hilly, & Caligari later on today

Hilly, you must have had a very good Saturday with those big price wins
I thought I was getting a bargain at 12/1 ....
nice way to finish the week .... it was quite a drift

jimnast that was quite a statement given how many years you have been going
What do you think made it that good, tight finishes, or championship horses showing their class, or atmosphere
or just the weather , 
I did agree with your comments

I was a bit disappointed very few man in the street owned winners
Far too many very wealthy owned or bought winners (probably always was & will be)
Still I suppose the money for those wealthy purchases guaranteed that quite a few financially are lot better off

BHA Handicapper & stewards got to get to grips with these long term plots
& give them 10lb extra early on until they have been ridden hard (given every chance???) in three / four races

Its getting embarrasing ... winners suddenly scooting in in top class handicaps
trainer saying mmmm maybe hes a Group horse (overnight) now ???

Apologies for the moan, is it just me ?

Thanks for that summary jimnast
I only saw 1 full day of live TV so needed to here a true account from somebody who was there &
who wasnt a gravy train club member
Sounds as though you had a great time pleased for you & Foxy

Don’t forget to take notice of the weather warnings everyone god knows how we got through the summer of 76.

Thanks captain I was aware of that book don’t really know why I never bought it as racecourses  past and present are something I’m really interested in,

Didn’t back big gossey thought his was priced right however that didn’t stop foxy backing him I’m glad I’m not an in running punter as I would have been pressing the wrong button for most of the race ,can’t understand why they have never given him a run at Ascot or York to give the owners a special day out.

Hi guys & gal
hope you are enjoying the summer even though lack of runners
go for a very big ew treble today, cant believe G Oldroyd could have 2 winners in one day at York
Your Managing Director says Air Force One turns up trumps, and a Return To The Gods in the last
