Ok boys and girls, it’s the 22nd of December so as they say “better late than never”….. It’s that time of year again when the moderators brace themselves for a flurry of frivolous complaints as the thread for the 2026 version of what is indisputably the greatest competition in forum history makes its appearance. Since its humble beginnings several years ago it has grown and grown to the juggernaut we see today. The thread that was famously labeled “ghoulish” by that intellectual heavyweight Hello Sunshine/Isaac Solomon has risen to loftier heights than even the greatest of visionaries could have foreseen! Through the years this thread has continued to thrive and no doubt will continue its upward trajectory for many years to come.
And so, we begin…… Who is on the list for 2026? Which celebrities will depart us? Which will we share fond memories of? And who will take home the prize and etch their name on the Dead Pool virtual trophy for 2026? Hall Of Fame: 2017: Saintly96 2018: Oneonesit 2019: Saintly96 2020: Brudder_A 2021: Baghdad Bob 2022: Passing Through 2023: Brudder_A 2024: 12 months on and this is still a TBA - first name advised to me takes the title 2025: TBA
With just over 1 week to go until 1 January it’s time to get your entries in. Plenty of time to pour over the form guides and work out who will be visited by the grim reaper in the next 12 months. Given my tardiness in posting this thread I’ll allow up until 7 January to get selections in. Rules:

Yep Stayer I agree. But to honour the Monty Python legend I’ll probably have a go 😂😇 Chill mate. We are born we die. When, who knows? It’s certainly better than having a bet on the simulated races at PubTabs, at least here we have a form guide 👍

Trump has longevity in his family, mother lived till 88, father into his 90's. Of course Trump is a grossly overweight, junk gobbling swine so that may take a few years off his life but on the other hand medicine has advanced a lot and he is getting the best treatment available. I would be surprised if he carked it in the near future, maybe his Alzheimer's may get him though. ------------- Declaration of Independence, signed after The Civil War. Trump said so. |

AA, I hope she saw before she died how female jockeys have taken the racing world by storm. And she played a part in that. As a general observation, they have kinder hands, love the animal more than the result and for some that doesn’t translate into success. For those who do have the “gift” the world is their oyster. From memory, last year’s Vic apprentice school had one male in a cohort of 12. More power to them.

See new posts Conversation Johnny (Brackets) @Johns_Analytics · Dec 12, 2025 For those that knew him, I share the sad news that the great man Len Loveday passed away yesterday. Many years ago, I reached out to him for assistance developing my original rating system. He ended up becoming my mentor and I doubt I'd have become a successful fulltime punter Show more Rob Waterhouse @RobWaterhouse I am so sad Len has died. I admired him so much, 1 of the few still earning living punting from his numbers. He often told me he appreciated my wife’s, @GaiWaterhouse1 , family advice. He sent me a video of himself a fortnight ago - he knew he looked awful. I value his memory. 3:38 PM · Dec 14, 2025 · 572 Views Sorry, no idea why that's failing |

Not sure you'd have thanked me had you checked my earlier posts. But further to that: Punting is a cutthroat caper, and a key survival rule is if you stumble on a rare favourable situation, then STFU. But Len Loveday was so up himself he couldn't help big noting himself about his imaginary prowess. That, among other sins, led to his punticide ~20 years back. |
