    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

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

    Day Five:
    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 nine horses you have picked on any given day. You can use it only once all week.
    Also we would advise that when you play your Wellington you also put a reserve because if your Welling ton is a non runner and you no reserve you lose it! :cry: :cry:
