Just realised I have added up wrong so have to recalculate the lot now!

Oh it's ok it was just we both had 2 more points for Treve 7 for 3rd instead of 5.

No! I have been making it 10 for 2nd when it should be 15!!!!! Hold on....

Ok so on day 1 I actually scored 115 not 110 and you scored 75, on day 2 you scored 147 not 140 and I scored 32.

So scores were in fact
Northern Monkey 222
Ruler of The World 147

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2014 10:54 pm**

So today's scores are:
Northern Monkey 115
Ruler of The World 80

Totals:
Northern Monkey 337
Ruler of The World 227

2.30 Patience Alexander
3.05 Bold Sniper
3.45 Snow Sky
4.25 RIZEENA
5.00 Century
5.35 Russian Realm

I know I'm going to lose! My NAP of the day is MY TITANIA but my only chance realistically stand a chance of winning this is to go for something you haven't gone for, Monkey!

LOL good call

I backed Rizeena in the 1000 Guineas and was kicking myself when Miss France won. Who needs more than 2 in this competition when it goes like this, eh?

I don't know if tomorrow's racing still comes under Royal Ascot but I did intend for it to go for all the days when there is a meeting there this week so there is still a day to play for. Harry, glad you're still alive! I was gonna put the favourite in the next race but I will stick with Century.

Russian Realm cost me £35000 by coming 2nd rather than 1st by a neck not so long ago!

Day 4 totals:
Northern Monkey 50
Ruler of The World 137

Standings:
Northern Monkey 387
Ruler of The World 364

I will definitely check all scores properly again after tomorrow!

Oh, and Harry scored 25 but I think its a bit late!

Northern Monkey 4/5
Ruler of The World Evens

2.30 Cordero
3.05 Arab Spring
3.45 Telescope
4.25 SLADE POWER
5.00 Rocky Ground
5.35 Tiger Cliff

So final day and it is actually still Royal Ascot. Slade Power has only ever stitched me up in the past and I fancied Due Diligence massively especially with Ryan Moore on board but I feel he is unproven at this level and since Soul Power got me the only double we have had so far in this competition coupled with Kingman, I will go with him. I've never been a fan of Telescope but he has got the best form on offer in his race, Forgotten Voice would be my 2nd choice. The 1st horse I've picked seems to be a decent prospect at a shortish price for a horse who hasn't had a run yet.

Mildly interesting stats:
* Northern Monkey has picked 6 winners, 2 2nds and 1 3rds in 24 races
* Ruler of The World has picked 5 winners 5 2nds and 2 3rds in 24 races

* No one has picked a non runner yet!

* Longest priced winner so far is by Northern Monkey, 12/1 Eagle Top (Ruler of The World's was 11/2 Rizeena)

* Shortest priced winner so far is by both, 8/11 Kingman

* Win betting at level stakes you would be up following Northern Monkey and down with Ruler of The World

* If we were using the old points system the scores would be: Ruler of The World 81 Northern Monkey 75 (not bothering with 4th if anyone even has any)

* Both have picked 3/4 winners in the big races of each day (4.25)

* Both have picked at least 1 winner per day.
