    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 race

    I just thought as I have the time this weekend that we would run a Guineas comp for the Friday Saturday and Sunday.

    The Wellington will also be in play and don’t forget it is TREBLE points for a wellington whether it wins or is placed :yahoo: :yahoo:
    Day One:
    Seven races. Pick one in each race (plus a reserve)
    Pick two in one race.
    Pick one NAP and one NB

    Day Two:
    Seven races. Pick one in each race (plus a reserve)
    Pick two in one race.
    Pick one NAP and one NB

    Day Three:
    Seven races. Pick one in each race (plus a reserve)
    Pick two in one race.
    Pick one NAP and one NB

    The Wellington:
    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.
