Take a bow

[bowles10]

Here are the top 3 racing threads based on views in 2007. What is astonishing & shows how this forum has grown in 1 year is that the previous highest in 2006 was around 25000!!!!

		RussP's Specialisation - Big Field Handicaps (Flat) (1 2 3 ... Last Page) RussP	Yesterday 10:09 by RussP	702	146,799
		Lucky 15 Suicide Mission (1 2 3 ... Last Page) slapdash	08-11-2007 13:24 by slapdash	164	119,232

It is no surprise that 2 of these threads are run by Mowgli & RussP both of whom showed so much consistency during the year & believe it or not havent been mods for very long compared with others. We have a wealth of good tipsters on here as well as others who make excellent contributions & its a really good mix. We all seem to understand what makes each person tick & this comes from the fact we stick together (hunt as a pack to coin a phrase). Some people have come & gone during the year & maybe some would have been good had they stayed the course but if you cant abide by the rules, then there is no place for you as it just doesnt work. Here's to another successful year !!!!!! 2 people that i also want to mention are Billyhills & Carl who are here every day & make my life a little bit easier knowing they are around.

Re: Take a bow It's been a good year for ATR. I have to admit it went through a little lull after the systems section split, but it seems back to full strength now and in better shape than it has ever been.:clap As Bowles says, we have a wealth of tipsters now and there is always someone in form to follow with decent winners. I'd like to encourage people to post whatever they feel (provided it's in the rules!) as I think opinions help to make us all better. Look at Ginges table of odds, etc....people are now starting to us these. Ok, it's not everyones cup of tea (including mine) but it's a different way of looking at things. Where I do feel we are a little short is discussion threads, whether it be betting methods, memories, ideas or general racing news .... I'd like to see more here:ok I've learnt a hell of a lot this year from all of you so thank you. Finally, thanks to Bowles who has been here much longer than most of us and has kept ATR going before most of us even knew about PL. Also, thanks to BillyHills, whose support in this section is unsurpassed. Both are true gents:notworthy. Onwards and upwards, more winners to come in 2008:drums
