The 2017/18 league tables have now been prepared by QO member and Galoppen scorer Spencer Modica. The veterans Bill Vigar and Tony Hext again showed up strongly.

Bill was once again on a (virtual) podium, finishing a close 3rd on Short Green, just two points behind the runner-up and less than 100 points shy of first spot. Tony Hext was 4th on Green. Gavin Clegg, who started the season as a QO member but is now with Bristol OK, won Blue at a canter.

There were decent final positions also for Jeff Pakes 7th on Brown, Steve Robertson 9th on Blue, John Trayler 15th on Green and Tony Milroy 5th on Short Green.

Ben Chesters of Devon OC made it four Galoppen titles in a row, with the runner up on Brown being BOK's Clive Hallett, who had dominated the series for three decades until Ben's current run of titles.
