First of all we would like to say a big thank you to all our tipsters throughout the year who have put up with us annoying them each Wednesday. Your co-operation is much appreciated.

Last week was one of the best ever for tipsters and the followers of the weekly ringaround with ten winners and eight placegetters being a huge achievement.

Boasting rights of the week went to Shane Walkinshaw with Stanley Ross Robyn who returned a very healthy $10:60

Now we are into the holiday season, it just becomes a bit of overkill for the next few weeks with trotting meetings left right and centre.

We will cover as many as we can.
