any differences between my scoring and your own. ThanksWINNER
will be the person with the highest score over the four days combined. In the event of a tie
the winner will be the person between the tied competitors with the highest score for day 1.
If still tied highest scoring NAP. In the case of disputes my decision is finalI have decided to add one more feature just for Cheltenham. We will see if it is liked and then we will decide if we use it in the future.
It is called “The Wellington” . It is a one off choice of a horse in any race any day. This horse is extra to your normal choices and will score double points even if it is just placed.
Please note IT IS ONE CHOICE OVER THE FOUR DAYS not one choice a day!
Only eight more sleeps folks

Superb the Raymo’s …
Can I ask if the “Wellington” is played instead of a nap on any day or do you still get a Nap and a Wellington?Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Not sure how i feel about the Wellington add-on, as i tend to go down the road of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
But as it’s now part of this comp i’m in.I was thinking that perhaps the ”Wellington” should be only for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. My reason being that I could see many players keeping it back until the last race on Friday. Just my thoughts as it could be a pot luck finish.
Is the Wellington instead of the Nap or as well as.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.The Wellington would be an extra pick rather than instead of a nap.
And Landafar if everyone wants to use it on Friday then that’s up to themSeven more sleeps folks
Just so I’m understanding the Wellington thing its an extra selection so in theory you could have 3 selections in a given race and that race could have your nap and Wellington as separate horses?
Can you also combine your Nap and Wellington together to receive quadruple the score ?
My personal feelings are the Wellington is fine, as I understand it. But it’s either the Wellington or daily Nap.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.To try and answer any problems regarding the Wellington.
It is one selection
It has to be a different horse from all your other selections
It can only be used once
It can be used any one of the four days
It scores double points whether the horse wins or is placed
If your Wellington is a non runner it goes on to the favourite in the race it was selected
I hope this clears it all up for you allLooking forward to this competition. The best racing festival of the year!
Not sure about the Wellington, but why not give it a try!
Thanks to Raymo & Tracey for running this one
Like being given “The Boot’
Graham..😅🤣I quite like The Wellington idea Raymo it’s a chance to boost your score and have 3 horses in one race for one of the days if you want too.
Thanks for doing this Raymo and Tracey.
looking forward to it..Jac 
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...
