For Gods Sake, Give us all a break, Either suck up the fact you haven't won or just don't bother entering. To me the best shot was Tommydee's entry but that is just my choice. I am not the official judge. Hey Ho! life goes on. My critique on your entries would be:- too much foreground of track , play around with the zoom and distance from subject. Keep trying, you may offer a winning shot occasionally but you won't win every week so learn to deal with it.
