While this competition has been running and my own personal score is currently 0/14 I wondered what would have happened if I had decided to pick the starting favourite in the last race at the alphabetically last race meeting each given week, with the last race of the day during the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals..
As you will see, I would have had a fighting chance going into the last two selections rather than having to find a lucky long shot to salvage anything
An interesting day ends with a new leader going into the final day tomorrow.
mumsie was a surprise no show today and hoishtess took advantage of this and Evens winner Jonbon has taken then to the top of the table by just 63p.
There is only 23p separating third and fourth place and lots of people well within reach of top spot if they can bag a healthy outsider tomorrow.
Remember it's back to normal and not restricted to Aintree although historically many people plump for the National and I remember at least one occasion when a big priced national winner took someone from nowhere to overall winner!
