    Rob..you got me there..not sure if we can make changes after the first race .
    Can I ask bob or Graham (BigG), Nathan or anyone who might be able to help before we do that.

    If it is ok rest assured your horses are runners..Jac :good:

    Graham BigG scored max points in the Queen Mother choosing both Energumene and Funambule Sivola for a fantastic 34 points. :yahoo:

    Jetleo111 and The Tatling Cheekily both Napped Energumene for 28 points and Raymo, DFward and Glad scored 20 points for Funambule Sivola in 2nd. :good:

    Shame for Envoi Alen supporters that Nube Negra came out leaving only 7 runners..

    Well done..
    Just watched Tiger Roll run the race of his life to just be beaten by Delta Work .. both winners .. enjoy your retirement Tiger. :heart:

    Green..I need to check if we can make changes as per Rob.

    Can anyone help on this ..Jac :good:

    Surely it’s why we can have as many reserves as we like before the off.
    I’m stumped on this one.

    Here we go I found this on Page 1 of the Rules of the Competition…

    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 race.

    Really sorry guys blame it on the rain or the idiots who watered the course last night..Jac :scratch:

    You certainly can’t add any reserves Jac “You may included as many reserves as you like but cannot
    add any after the time of the first race”

    As for the the new horses,

    “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 20% point deduction
    for that day.”

    Now that sounds to me that it’s just for late starters of the competition who miss the deadline,
    and as you can put as many reserves up as you want to before the off I’m not sure that changes to
    the original horses choices would be allowed. I know it sounds harsh, but then those that still have
    their horses running may think it’s like a 2nd chance.

    What have we let ourselves in for Jac :unsure:

    If we can put that decision on hold untill we maybe have a word with Nathan, who’s baby this is,
    but otherwise I don’t think it can be done.

    Well done Jac, I was going back and forward with bits and pieces as you were doing the same,
    I think we’ve come to the same decision.

    I think you might need something a bit stronger that asprins once you’re
    done. Spankling, white or red, whatever comes to hand :whistle:

    Thanks BigG. I really enjoyed seeing him battle so hard to win at such a nice price.

    It sounds like a real nightmare with the competition today and all the non runners. Thanks to Triptych and yourself for patiently dealing with it all!

    Fair enough, Exit Poll’s run was about as good as the weather anyway ;-)

    Hope your head not too twisted with the scoring :good:
