Many tried only one succeeded.

Rob Crawford – the Sheffield tipster who finished our September Tipsters Challenge with a four figure profit, has leapt to the top of the Derby TC following a £100 win double on the two Derby semi finalists and making a clean £1,000 profit on the night.

It was a good night for Pat Rosney, courtesy of Doolin Duke. Rab McNair will be kicking himself when opposing one of his favourite hounds, Southwood Jet which cost him a nice double with Wolfe.

Five of the twelve finished in the black on the night, of the remainder, most were foiled by a single loser in attempted death or glory ‘all-in’ doubles and trebles.

The resulting table is clear evidence that God hates cocky punters – unless they are ginger!

And if you spot Peter Harnden around, feel free to ask him how his tipping is going!
