i used to do a piont system myself ,position back to the loft for example 8th , 3rd , 12th = total 23 divided by the amount of races (3) = answer 7 ,and those with low scores tended to be the better ones

ground damp , very cloudy

morning folk.s

sign of the times Colin . Graham certainly not under-estimated by us . Dougie,s doo was bred by a relative who now lives in the West ???
