Won at 6-4. £1.50 profit. Total £24.83

Wow - go me!

I know nothing about horse racing and normally just pick the daily tips on the geegeez internet site - but I was a bit late today and their picks had already run - so I found a race that had about 6 or 7 horses in it and simply picked the favourite!

I think the geegeez site is not really suited for my needs - I think (and I may be wrong) that they pick two horses that are not the favourites and back them each way - so a top three finish is more what they are tipping than the win itself.

Anyway just a bit of fun!

I was wondering where you were getting your tips from. Is rt away?
Main sequence. 7.50 Sandown

Yes RT on his hols again!

You're stuck with me this week and the geegeez tips, which for today is -

Mafi - 5.55 Lingfield.

Glossy Posse... 17:20 Lingfield

No winners today.

Secret gesture 4.00 Epsom

5.40 Catterick - Viking Warrior.

Links Drive Lady...19:45 Godwood

Won at 14/1 makes my total look a bit more respectable.. £21 total for the month.

Looks like mark has won, well done.

Well done fellas.

Hope you both had a punt on your own tips!

Won! 15/8

I am afraid it's a Stewards enquiry this month. I have been going through last weeks selections and it looks as if Sluffy has won the day for me.

When I went on holiday last Friday I was on £22.33 profit. I can't find the profit for Mama Quilla but at 15-8 the profit is £1.88. With Sluffy's other selection coming in at £1.50 profit my total for the month is £25.71.

Mark Leach was on £19.75 and he had a 5-1 winner which takes his profit to £24.75 and not £25.75.

I know it's only pennies and a bit of fun but profit is what counts so I am the May winner thanks to Sluffy and his tantalizing selections.

RT £25.71

ML £24.75

BotC £21.00 ( I hope you had a few bob on the two decent priced winners)

I have just gone back over last week and you are right. I made a mistake with mama quilla and only gavevyou 90p. I am still the overall leader for the free bet because I won twice on the trot.

Time is against me but I will go through this post from the start and work out who is in front. I think the winner got a free £10 bet from any race of their choice?

I will sort it it in the morning but Jet Lag has got the better of me tonight.

Monday selection... Tinghir 3.15 Leicester.

I'll go for Rundell in the same race.

Good to have you back!

Pass The Time...16:30 Chepstow

I have just made a note of each months winners since we started this competition in October and the winners are as follows:

October: Reebok Trotter £33.12

November: Reebok Trotter £17.00

December: Reebok Trotter £17.37

January: Mark Leach £13.70

February: Mark Leach £18.59

March: SpilltheBeans £18.75

April: BanksoftheCroal £24.00

May: Reebok Trotter £25.71.

The competition runs until the 30th September (12 months) and the punter with the most monthly wins gets a free £10 bet courtesy of Bolton Nuts.

If any other poster wants to join then by all means do. There are 4 months left. In the event of a draw between two punters then the accumulated profits will be added up to declare the winner.

No winners today but StB was unlucky with Archive which was 2nd at 8-1.
