You're trailing back in 72nd place, almost £270,000 behind the leader, so you reckon your race is run and your bank account will be none the healthier come September 19th? Well, that's exactly what Susan Coleman thought this time last year when her "Winners" weren't winning enough - 12 weeks later she finished as our runner-up, coming within £18,000 of collecting our £10,000 first prize.

The team that pipped Susan to victory, Paul Sheehan's "Paul 8", were in 10th place this time last year, £137,573 behind leader Robert Sinnott, who finished in 17th position.

Paul also took third place last year, with "Pauly 7" (who were in fifth place 12 months ago) but he also managed the team that produced the most dramatic collapse over the final three months of the competition - "Pauly 2" fell from ninth to 216th in that period.
