Points earned after Round 1

Three rounds still to come so plenty of chances to improve your standings.  Hope to see you all again next week.  Next week we will be using the tried and tested format used in the Pairs and Triples comps - 12 races, pick two runners (or one if you want to double your bet), etc....

[Pottsie]

Congrats on the super fast results for this competition.

Use must have a fast system that you use.

Thanks Pottsie.  It's just an Excel spreadsheet with a few miles on the clock and an intermediate level Excel user with a lot more miles on the clock.

Oldie but Goodie

Joan said that she was pleased to beat me BUT then went on to congratulate me for improving my result 8 fold (also referred to by SNM) as compared to my start last time. 

Now the "proper" picking begins

Bring on next Saturday. 

Thank you John for such quick scoring.
