After the jumps comes the flat and as there is no rest for the wicked we are straight in to the next comp and I know scorer has his Sunday thread but we did this last time so will kick off with both the 2000 and 1000 guineas races this weekend. Usual rules will apply.

Last years result was:

1st - Darren Lethem 461.01 (9 wins & 1 e/w win from 30 bets)
2nd - Hermjca 444.06 (6 wins & 1 e/w win & 2 places from 30 bets)
3rd - Realale 417.75 (7 wins, 2 e/w wins & 1 place from 30 bets)
4th - swingaleg 376.17 (5 wins & 1 place from 30 bets)
5th - scorer 360.18 (6 wins, 2 e/w wins & 2 places from 30 bets)
6th - jmclaugh 277.50 (3 wins, 1 e/w win & 1 place from 30 bets)
7th - Terrence Chant 225.67 (4 wins & 1 e/w win from 30 bets)
8th - Carras 149.62 (1 win, 1 e/w win & 4 places from 30 bets)
9th - ash132 137.83 (2 wins & 4 places from 30 bets)
10th - Psycho Ned 135.00 (2 win & 1 place from 30 bets)
11th - Itsybitsy Jo 121.25 (1 win & 2 places from 30 bets)
12th - bamber 74.42 (4 wins from 30 bets)
13th - bridgendhatter 31.25 (1 e/w win from 30 bets)
14th - SWW(SWW) 22.00 (1 win from 30 bets)
15th - Bjorkiii 0.00 (0 from 30 bets)

Mr Lethem is now the proud owner of both the flat and jumps titles so who can dethrone him now????
