    Oh yeah! Thanks :)

    Hopefully that displays OK for everyone. I know there's many ways to look at boards, if that's a mess for anyone let me know, otherwise that's how I'll stick the results up each day.

    Day two is over folks. It was a three horse race all day, very nip and tuck. If you weren't on one of these three I'm afraid you may be in trouble...
