Although I can’t promise the neatness of Mr & Mrs Raymo, I will try my hand at organising this competition for the Breeders Cup (Date 31st October & 1st November)
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) No Nap your first selection in the first race of the day will become your napEntries 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

Entries in before the start of each day’s racing that evening, don’t be late or I’ll have to get my calculator out and deduct 10% of any scores for that day.
You can alter it as many times as you like before the days racing, but not when that evening racing begins.
I strongly suggest reserves. Good luck to everyone.
