The H&A tipster competition is now three weeks old. Fifteen entrants multiplied by three equals forty-five selections. Number of winners picked........THREE... and Elmo Weston has "picked" two of them (the other by Billy Kemp, well known to enjoy a flutter or two) one at 12/1 and the other at 11/2. The question must be who is he bribing or sleeping with to get such good tips?. He is not known for his financial extravagance at the bar so bribery can probably be ruled out, so one can only assume he's found someone to, as we say - " Bend The Knee", and is gleaning equine information to help him in his quest to win the competition. Now I don't know any female companions with a knowledge of racing within his circle of friends so again one must assume the other gender is likely to be involved. A number of promising candidates come to mind to who this partner may be but it would be very wrong of me to divulge my suspicions, and after all there is no rule saying that a partner or "chum" may not assist.

| Mundy on a Sunday after latest horse flops |
One of the pre-competition favourites, A.P. Mundy. a former jockey himself and a respected tipster has been a major disappointment so far. Touted by many to win the money he has failed to deliver anything that even looks likely to be a winner. Endless pawing over the form-book seems to have taken it's toll on Mundy resulting in some quite vehement outbursts in the pub lately. It has been suggested that his tantrums are very similar to another one of the favourites, and winner of a previous competition.......Dave the Grave. Mr Grave is a well known firebrand in the pub and reacts very sourly to anyone who goes anywhere near his plastic carrier bag. What the bag contains is a mystery to all and any enquiry as to it's contents are met with a torrent of abuse and foul language. This behaviour is commonplace with Mr Grave and now increasingly with Mr Mundy. Perhaps some probing into Mr Grave's family tree may indicate a link with the diminutive Mr Mundy as their traits and rantings are so similar.
