It was the Steven Bradbury story that we didn’t see coming. Specifically that myself and Brock didn’t see coming 😥. Snake has stolen the competition on the final day with an audacious win on ANOTHER PROPHET ($55.94 BSP) in the Thousand Guineas. Rusty also had $100 on it, which took him into second spot. With two races remaining in the day, nobody was able to land another winner, despite KIMOCHI winning the Sir Rupert Clarke at $28 BSP. This left Snake to claim glory on a grand total $3959.20, from Rusty on $3239.10 and Brock on $2970.30. Merc and Searley rounded out the top 5. Snake will take home $1000 for his troubles, with Rusty winning $225 and Brock $100. Snake and Rusty also shared the Round 14 prize money. This year nine tipsters finished in the positive and are listed below 👏👏 :
| Rank | Name | Overall kitty |

Also a shout out to Gav, who on debut, has taken home the wooden spoon 🥄 after a tight battle with Buzza! Check out the full leaderboard here.
Captain Consistency
Firstly, I have to apologize to Billy Macca, who I told was in with a chance to level Killa. However, my formula in the spreadsheet was incomplete (the old didn’t stretch it out far enough in excel), and Killa did in fact have an insurmountable lead going into the final round. To make matters worse Billy scored the extra point in the final round. However Killa held on to win on 8 points, to Billy’s 7 points. So that was 8/14 rounds in the positive for Killa – a bloody good effort. He is this years Captain Consistency and takes home $100.
Cup Week Hero
As already mentioned last round, Ovs was the winner of the Cup Week Hero and also took home an extra $100.
Snakes Road to Glory
It only took Snake 4 winning rounds to win the comp. These are all his winning bets.

Poll results and feedback
Thanks again to everyone for playing this year and as usual a big thank you to Snake for making things run smoothly in the background and to Law for paying the website fees!
The results of the feedback will be considered for next year. The majority are happy to continue with BSP and the standard cut off time of first race on the card. Amazingly we are split 50/50 on increasing the entry fee. If you have any other ideas on how to improve the comp please let me know.
