That’s why I backed him at 12-1

What will you spend your £6 on?

Very happy for him.

But no doubt poeple like Wild won't consider this a ranking final loss, so the Hendry record still in danger for him.

But even Trump lost in the CL Final this season when he was close to that record. We may not like it, but they all count.

What Wild and others think is utterly irrelevant. The record books will record it as a ranking loss, they won’t say, “Thanks to Wild E Jones, Selby’s ranking final record was maintained as it was felt the 2021 Shoot Out didn’t have an appropriate format despite having officially been a ranking event for years by that point.” The record is gone.

It’s sad that it counts but it is what it is.

Exactly mate.

Still, 11 consecutive ranking event finals won is some achievment.

It’s incredible, really.

I would like if Day won an event with a longer format, instance a Home Nations, because the ones he won were this, Riga Masters and Gibraltar.

But he's still 3 time ranking event winner, and that's what counts at the end of the day.

He also won the Romanian masters, which was a proper event. Pretty much all top 16 and two sesh final. More of an achievement that any of his ranking triumphs really. It's silly to obsess over ranking event status.

I forgot about that one. Easily his best achievment.

Disappointed that my man 'Rock Steady' couldn't win this, but Day beating Selby in the final, I'll take that.

Didnt watch any of this but good to see Day winning a ranker despite the fact its a tinpot event obviously.

The fact he beat Selby in the final and stopped him from breaking Hendrys record makes it funnier.

Allen and Mark Williams would probably need to get to the semi finals of the Welsh open to have a chance of making it into the top 16 on the 1 year list.

What about Champion of Champions? Does he get a spot in that too?

Would expect so, yes. I can't remember how far down the list the shootout actually is, but no chance we get sixteen other distinct winners.

Yeah.

I mean Judd has/will win several of the tournaments that are above the Shoot-Out.

Wild is a big Hendry fan though.

Bearing in mind hes the only one to do this particular treble.....(has anyone else won two?) And that a fair few have won the triple crown, maybe Days achievement is the greater. In terms of difficulty perhaps this should be the new triple crown.

I am saying this tongue in cheek.

He cares about records. Like any other player does. Winning the most ranking finals in a row would have been Selbys best record in Snooker actually. And a record which might never be beaten again.

I agree, this is one thing that I’m sure the player cares more about than us.

In his losers's speech he was pretty much inferring that he wouldn't count this as a ranking final loss. Rest of the world will though.
