Hi All,
Welcome to the Saturday Tipping Competition for Racing on 26th February. This week we will again concentrate on this Saturdays live races shown on Channel Four, plenty of quality racing to get stuck into with the Racing Post Chase at Kempton, The Eider Chase at Newcastle and also the final of the Blue Square Sprint Series at Lingfield, along with three other interesting contests. The format for this week has changed a little however hopefully it is still simple enough to understand (i think it is !!!!) -

The Rules

Points Scoring

As always, this is a bit of fun .... hopefully the rules and scoring are pretty simple to follow however if anything is unclear feel free to ask a question and i will do my best to get back to you.

If you can post a link to this on other sites or get your friends and other interested people involved that would be great ... The more people that enter the better.

Last weeks winner was Enigma (shortened name !!) ... Let's see if anyone can take his crown as our 'Saturday Tipping Champion' !!!#

Good Luck Everyone ... Let The Battle Commence !!!!!! Very Happy

Well we all managed to find a winner today .... Not sure how much boasting those of us that managed only Captain Chris @ 2/5 as our only winner can do(that includes me !!!!).
The 4m 1f slog in the mud at Newcastle was the key to todays final standings and congratulations go to Racingnut who pinpointed the excellent 16/1 winner Campanero to take this weeks Number One Position from Solerina in second place who was the only one of us who managed to came up with two winners from the six races. Below are the final standings -

Racingnut - 34 Points king
Solerina - 10.3 Points Very Happy
Enigma - 5.6 Points Smile
Eagle Eat - 2.8 Points Rolling Eyes
Grahame - 2.8 Points Crying or Very sad

Well done all and thank you for taking part .... Make sure you all come back next week and let's see if we can get a few more to enter.

Cheers

Total fluke,dont expect 16/1 winners every week! Thats the way i punt(when i do bet),i always look for ones that i think have a much bigger chance than their odds suggest.Ive backed plenty of losers over the years but by the same admission ive backed some belting priced winners.

Well done Grahame,good comp,good fun.
