After the Lord Mayors show for me

Well what a w&nk day

One crappity smack winner out of 42 selections between us.

Dodges winner and a couple of placings gave him top Dodge on the day with - - - wait for it - - - -
6 points!
Pedro maintained his challenge with a stunning 4 points.
Big Cup , Snedster and Bill Yards had 2 points each.
Bill had an empty barrow and Chub Tamer couldn't find his pin, both not troubling the bookie.

[bill yards]

After three more objections, five stewards enquiries including the ongoing one about the Sizzla and seventy-one crappity smack ups by your bookie the Top Tipster positions have been sorted and amended to read.

Dodge 24
Big Cup 22
Barrow Bill 20
Pedro also 20
Snedster 13
Bill Yards 13
Chub Tamer 10

Me billiards days have long gone Pedro, - not looked at me cue for over two years now.

Years back I used to work with a guy (he has long gone) who always had 'saucy bets'. When he won he won good and proper because they were always long odds.
If you take today for example he would have had a reverse forecast on Thomas Crapper and Full Shift, obviously one letter would have been omitted from Shift!
I used to take these bets for him to Ladbrokes in Stafford town and the girls used to take it turn to look at his betting slip, - crappity smack funny it was, they used to run to the loo almost p!ssing themselves!
Those two today reminded me of him. Others he selected on a regular basis were Slippery Dick, Yukon Flash, - never forget when he had a double on them! Others were Spotted Dick, Hoof Hearted, Betty Swollocks, Rsuppards, Shy Talk, Mary Inge and countless others!
They wouldn't let them have names like these today --------

As dodge said lot of fun win or lose.

Snedster cracked it today and almost went through the card, well he had the first two winners anyway. He had a good score of 11 points. It was all about picking up a few scraps for the rest of us with Pedro bagging 5 points, Big Cup 4, Chub Tamer and Dodge 3 and Bill Yards 2. Barrow Bill thought it was a two-day meeting and had a dotter for the second time!


All this and we have a photo crappity smack finish. After studying all the negatives Dodge ended up as Cheltenham Tipster of the Year, courtesy of Claret Cloak (2 points) in the last. He wins the trophy that will no doubt take pride of place in a certain Manchester trophy room, with 27 points.
Big Cup looks like a very promising novice as he just missed out with 26 points.
Pedro ended up with 25 points and third. This result is not quite final yet as Maggie has still to decide the outcome of the Sizzla enquiry.
Snedster came from out of the clouds (like the rain) to amass 24 points.
Barrow Bill's pin was blunted but he still had 20 points. This left Bill Yards on 15 points but he still beat Chub Tamer who apparently paid for inside information, with the wooden ladel with 13 points.

That's it folks, well done Dodge. Maybe do it again for the Derby meeting. Thomas Crapper calling again

[Barrow21]

Well done Dodge Horses and the fantasy footie going well , take my hat off to you.

Perhaps another attempt at Aintree Bill.?

[bill yards]

Yeah, Aintree it is, forgot about that one. With my form in the National tis easy to know why, - last winner I had was Gay Trip
As a bonus we can all have a nap a day for double points if you fancy a little change, - otherwise same as normal.

[big_cup]

Well done Dodge

Hope you don't get the double on final day of Fantasy football

[Dodge]

Cheers fellas always going to be difficult today with lots of bad luck stories but that's Cheltenham

Top man Tony Keeling , quality as always roll on Aintree
