Derby / Oaks Comp Rules, Selections, Leaderboard

[Nathan Hughes]

Guys it’s my Fathers funeral next week and I’m going to be busy for a few weeks/months after as a lot of stuff to sort out. If someone could score and do a leaderboard for the comp it would be a great help

Thanks

Comp runs from 31st of May until 1st of June

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 20% 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 race

Nathan I will do the scores and leaderboard but I may be working and they will get done later i.e after nine o’clock on Friday if that is okay.

Don’t you worry about it though. I am sure other things are far more important than this to you at the moment.
We will be thinking of you over that period and I know what it is like to lose a loved one having lost both of my parents even though it was some years ago. Stay strong and remember the good times.

[BigG]

Take all the time you need Nathan, it’s 6 years since I lost my mum and it
still hurts, so thoughts are with you. I’m happy to help out along with
Raymo, I think we’re big enough and ugly enough to get the job done

I’m out for a fair bit of the afternoon on Friday (date with the dentist )
Raymo, but I should be back by the time to see the last couple of races and could make
a start on the scoring as you may well be working. If that suits you it’s not
a problem to me

[greenasgrass]

Thinking of you and Alex…my dad passed away last year after being very ill and struggling for a long time…still tough in the early days though. Wishing you strength for next week.

[Nathan Hughes]

Thanks Guys
much appreciated
Shouldn’t be too much hard work as only the two days ..

[Triptych]

Your comps in good hands Nathan Raymo and BigG will do you proud.

I’m working on Oaks day and happy to be on stanby to post up those early scores if needed.

Like Raymo I’ve lost both my mum and dad now, my dad was 30 years older than my mum and I didn’t have so long with him and mum died 3 years ago. It was my dad who loved a flutter on the horses every Saturday and his dad, my Grandad came from Co. Kildare and kept a book at The Curragh racecourse So I know who to blame for my competitive nature and love of the horses.

Thoughts to you and Alex and all the family. Jac

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

Thanks for helping out Raymo, much appreciated.

Nathan – all our thoughts are with you my friend.

[raymo61]
