We’ve all selected bets for these races which is good :good:

However remember you can add to or amend up to Saturday night.

What I’m not allowing is to get a better bet on something you’ve already picked.

You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.
