Hall of Shame

Worst losing run so far under the current rule (v2): 0 – both v2 selections have won. Give it time.

Earlier rule (v1) – for the record only

Not the current rule. From 3 to 11 Oct 2026 the ledger used rule v1: an imaginary £20 stake settled at SP. These figures are kept separately and are not combined with the v2 figures above.
