WHAT A CONTEST!!
Nowhere has the Tipster Challenge proved more lucrative or exciting than at Sheffield. For September we upped the ante by keeping track of the profits and losses of each tipster at each meeting and nowhere was that more relevant than at Owlerton.
Prior to the month, Carl Perry had been consistently the most successful tipster. Glynn Dobbs had been more ‘Everton that Liverpool’ and then we had a last minute upstart who came off the bench as a reserve, Rob Crawford.
After nine meetings, Carl’s crown had slipped. Despite a 16-1 each way punt on the Three Steps runner-up, he finished the month on -£65.69. But the real contest was between Glynn and Rob. Both had six winning meetings and three losers, but when the pounds were calculated, Glynn finished on £1,112.50 profit, Rob ended up with a profit of £1,370.
Brilliant effort guys – it made all the hard work worthwhile!
More good news – the Newcastle Tipster Challenge is over! In fact, it wasn’t so much a challenge as a race to the bottom and all three seemed determined to get there. The third biggest loser with a figure of -£385.73 was Jock Jimmy Wright. Worse still with a figure of -£403.39, Geordie Jimmy Fenwick. But for a whole new level of low, we tip our tipster’s hats to Steve ‘-£100’ Anderson with a net loss of -£450.
SUNDERLAND
The last meeting at Sunderland for the month (yes, cock-up at this end, thinking last Wednesday was the decider). Nothing has changed though, it gave Suuuuupa Sam Linley a chance to extend his winning run. Graham and George both need winning nights to stay in the blue.
The views:
Sam Linley
Noirs Megan (R12 T1) has been putting in good performances in A2s and she has been dropped to A3 tonight. One of her better exits will see her winning this race £60 win
Ciarans Girl (R8 T4) has been unlucky in running a few times recently but her best recent time of 27.85 sees her taking first prize tonight, there was a sh between her and wor nathan a few runs back when running off the same marks now she is getting 3 yards off Wor Nathan (T5). £20 win £20 double
George Stark
Quest (R7 T2) I like the positioning of Quest in the race. She has a very green pup ahead of her running its first race under lights. If she were to repeat her trial of 16.21 in a sprint, I would doubt anything in this race would be able to make up enough ground to catch her in the latter part of the race. £40 win
One for Charlie (R9 T2) still fairly young an inexperienced, has been dropped in grade despite a 27.90 in its penultimate start. He has nothing to find on the clock and a repeat of this run would see him take this one quite comfortably. £60 win
s
Noirs Megan (R12 T1) Massive ease in class for this bitch should be all she needs £40 win
Catunda Model (R4 T1) Unlucky last week in similar race got her box tonight £40 win £20 double
YARMOUTH
Go Hughesy!! BB is guaranteed to finish the month with a healthy profit, the other pair both need good nights to finish off in the blue.

Two selections for me tonight. First up is Spottie Dottie (R2 T1). She missed her break last time out, found trouble around the first 2 bends and still only got beat less than a length. With a better exit, and anything like a clear passage, she’ll prove hard to hold in here £50 win
Followed by Jura Kazura (R4 T6). You can forget his last run at Romford, Maurice Rice’s youngster is improving nicely and looks well drawn here. Racing room could be at a premium for the inside trio as they will all be looking to move off, so providing he can lead the orange to the corner, I think he can miss any trouble and make all £50 win

Nigel ‘Cash Machine’ Tanner
Spottie Dottie (R2 T1) I tipped her last Wednesday but she can not possibly come out that slow again. It’s a similar race to last week, T2 will move off at the bend, plus there a lot more early pace in this race than last week and there is going to be trouble at first bend £100 win
