It’s all to play for going into the final night of the Top Towcester Tipster competition.
Narrowly leading is Mick Conneely. He has been in front pretty much since day one. Following Mick isn’t so much a gamble, its more like buying shares in BT. Think ‘investment and steady growth’. The Warren Buffett of punting. Sadly, one of his competitors has been known to chirp up ‘Has Mick put his tips in yet. . . .or is Joe too busy?”
(Poor sportsmanship! Journalistic integrity won’t allow me to name the individual. But let’s put it this way, if he isn’t winning, he wants to take the ball home . . . . . to a place ‘On The Wolds’ in Nottinghamshire!)
Following Big Mark is more like diamond mining with sticks of dynamite. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Boom! His big breakthrough was in the semis when his three star selection Goldies Perryman romped up at 6-1, swiftly followed by ** winner Kildare (15-8).
Big Kev is trailing the field though he ain’t happy. On at least three occasions he made Savana Beau his *** selection. But one night, he forgot to give any stars. Yep – that was the night, 14-1. (So ‘morally’ he is just £3.34 behind Pete Harnden!)
Very sorry and all that, but I don’t make the rules. Well actually I do. But that’s not the point. He needs to learn his lesson. If you carry on letting people bend the rules, you might as well be an Irish publican.
Maybe I should apply for a job on the Greyhound Board?
