    First all can I say a big thank you to our sponsors this season, swedish chef for putting up the £100 prize for our winner and edgt for offering the 50 euros worth of betting vouchers for the winner of the wooden spoon, I trust the sponsors can liase with our winners on here via PM to make the necessary arrangements.

    Subject to any counter claims it's very well done to wilsonl for winning this year's Ten To Follow competition and at the other end of the leaderboard NewApproach and trudij share the wooden spoon, I trust edgt you will be able to split the betting vouchers accordingly.

    Final leaderboard





    Horses and their points




    Dark Horses and their points





    Please check your scores

    Edit to note the last two horses to score points which were

    Fletchers Flyer 26pts (2 nominations)

    Keltus 5pts (Dark Horse Desperate Dan Team C)

    Their scores were already included in the final leaderboard

    Nobody mock - it takes a lot of hard work to get that few points during a whole season....

    Well done Wilsonl !!

    Thank you so much for running the comp so well DG, you're a total star. And also to the people who put up the prizes, thank you

    Well done wilsonl - impressive score. Although as trudij says it is very difficult keeping your score as low as we managed to do!

    Thanks for a great competition DG, I always really enjoy it (despite coming last!)

    Thanks to all organisers and the funding committee. You are all a credit to the forum

    Thanks guys, this was an absolute pleasure to be involved with and winning it was icing on the cake considering the knowledge amongst the members.

    Swedish Chef generously offered the prize for the competition and that's hugely appreciated but unless he or anybody objects I'd like him to dedicate the prize to the running of this site.

    Thank you DG for a great and superbly run competition.

    I think it should be the aggregate of your 3 team's scores!
    Seriously, a fine performance, wilsonl, and a clear winner. Very well done and a decent gesture with the prize.
    Thanks to all those responsible for the organisation and prizes but especially DG for all the hard work with the scoring.
