Rules
You select 1 horse in each race over the course of the meeting
In one race per day you can select 2 horses
You may chose 1 nap per day (please make clear)
NAP selections score double for WIN ONLY
You can pick a next best (NB) as a reserve for your Nap in case of being a non runner
If Nap is a N/R and your NB is a non runner the reserve of your Nap will become the Nap.
(no reserve no nap)Entries have to be in before first race of each day, if for whatever reason you are late
post your entries still for later races which will be accepted but you will get hit with
10% point deduction for that day Strictly no Edits after the off time of 1st race, all
points on that day will be deducted You may included as many reserves as you like but
cannot add any after the time of the first raceSELECTIONS

This is one additional pick on top of the eight horses you have picked on any given day. You can use it only once all week.Just to let you all know nice and early I am working late Thursday and Friday so there will be no running commentary or score updates during the day both days, the scores should be up about 7.30 pm both days but normal service will be resumed Saturday
I’m in.
Really like the look of this format. I’ll get my picks in before each day.
Also, if anyone enjoys these comps, a few of us have been playing a race-by-race version alongside on an app/website I’ve been building. You pick 2 per race and track it on a live leaderboard as the day unfolds.
Not a replacement for this at all, just something extra to run alongside if anyone fancies it.
Looking forward this one across the festival 👌
