Result

AKD vs Brian1147

Southwell meeting turned out to be a nightmare for finding winners, just one winner found between two players, AKD went ahead with 7/2 winner Royal Supremo in first race and that proved to be decisive. Well done me (lol), very surprised that I have won, unlucky Brian but well done on some great tipping earlier in the competition. Thanks everyone for taking part in the competition, I enjoyed running it.

Royal Supremo
John Constable
Hargam
Demon Daunou
Rose Tree
Benny In Milan
Kings Reste

Good luck, Brian.

Thanks Scotstam and The Racing Voice. Yes if I had to put money on someone at start of competition then it probably would have been Brian. I myself am surprised to reach the final, apart from the last match its mostly luck that has carried me through.

4:20 Wolverhampton - Al Mureib
5:00 Tramore - Flaxen Flare
9:00 Chelmsford - Final Choice

3 x £20 win singles, £20 e/w treble

Good luck Brian

Apologies to Scotstam, his returns today should have showed £67.50 and not £0, as he had £18 on 11/4 winner Weather Front.

So the final will be between AKD and Brian1147, if both can produce something like the performances from semi finals then it will be a cracking final. Good luck both.

Well done to Twobusty, Scotstam and Brian1147 who have all booked their places in semi finals with some excellent tipping today. Sorry to lose Alanb, Fuzzyduck & King Claudio, but well done for getting this far, and there has been some excellent tipping from them earlier in the competition. Dazzler and AKD have to try again tomorrow as their match today couldn’t produce a decisive result.

Semi finals will be played on Wednesday 15th August

King Claudio returns £58.47 (£4.50 e/w acca on 7/1, 3/1, 3/1 & 11/4 placers)

King Claudio got a serious bout of seconditis today with all 4 of his selections finishing 2nd, and his only returns came from each way accumulator on those, unlucky mate. Brian1147 was in top form though, and he got the highest returns of the day thanks to confident stake on 5/1 winner Markhan. He will now face Scotstam in the semis, well done Brian.

Dazzler vs AKD

Dazzler returns £78.00 (£10 e/w on 4/1 winner Kings Gift (1/5th odds), £10 non runner)
AKD returns £40.00 (non runner)
