TRF Aintree Competition 2022

[BigG]

I probably need shooting in the head for this

The competition will run from 7th until 9th April ( sorry for the late declaration,
pretty much a last minute decision. I hope it gets noticed by everyone wanting to
take part)

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

[raymo61]

Good stuff Graham Myself and the boss will be there battling for the cakes as per usual. She who must be obeyed is looking for revenge after Cheltenham

[BigG]

Many thanks TTC and very best of luck

I know it’s a bit late but better late than never I suppose.
I hope everyone looks in today or at latest tomorroe morning.
I’d imagine it being Aintree that most will give it a shufty
before it’s too late, I hope

[BigG]

It wouldn’t be the same without the battle for the cakes Raymo,
best of luck to you and your better half

[raymo61]

I have just posted my Masters picks Graham so am now free to concentrate on Aintree. Although I am playing golf Friday myself so will get Friday’s picks in Thursday night

[BigG]

Good luck with your golf Raymo, and another 150/1 winner at the Masters wouldn’t
go amiss (he’s only gone and cracked in 2 150/1 winners in Darren’s Golf Thread
recently ) I’ll get my bets on the thread today
