Welcome to this years Royal Ascot Competition
RULES
You must select 1 horse in each race over the 5 days
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
Entries have to be in before first race of each day, any late entries for later races will be accepted at my discretion (try not to be late)(eg – if you have missed the first race post selections, but 2nd race will not be scored, you will start scoring points thereafter)
Strictly no Edits after the off time of 1st race
You may included as many reserves as you like but cannot add any after the time of the first raceSELECTIONS
I will post up threads for each day, please be aware that there are other competitions running at the same time.

Any Questions?
Apart from those from Bachelor’s Hall…….I tried to circumvent this by creating a duplicate account under the pseudonym "Macakov Dvor" ((Mačakov Dvor)(Bachelor’s Hall in Bosnian)) but I was naive to think that anything could get past Matron. But let it be known that I at least tried to respect this rule…
In the spirit of the TdF visiting these shores this summer, will there be a "Lanterne Rouge" this year?
I did see that earlier, thought it was you.
Bach you have a bigger bloody obsession with this "Lanterne Rouge" then I have of Toronado. If my horse wins it will put me in a good mood so yes, if he loses no…
Fair deal?
He’ll go off odds on so it will be in your favour.Charles Darwin to conquer the World
I mean if it’s a problem, I could score the Lanterne Rouge myself…
All the same, even though it’s a brazen attempt to extort as much moral support for that Toronado fellow as possible, OK. You’re on.
Hajmo Toronado!
I’ve managed to get hold of a few nice souvenirs here at Ascot so the winner of the competition can look forward to –

That’s it for another year.
ItsConnor28 hit a whopping 70 points today the highest of the week to run into the bronze medal position. Nathan Hughes threw everything at Gladiateur but the winner would not let anyone past with a very consistent 5 day total 263 at an average of 52.6 points a day. Fantastic performance
Gladiateur
and very well deserved. If you pm Cormack he can sort out your prize.
‘Lantern Rouge’
VtC scored 0 today but Bachelors Hall with a 5 day total of 88 with an average of 17.6 points a day takes the jacket.
Finally thank you to everyone who helped out in scoring their own points throughout the week it takes the sting out of do the mass.

I’m sure that I won’t be alone in thanking you for all of your hard work, Nathan.
Best wishes to everybody.
Well done Gladiateur a brilliant tipping display over 5 tricky days
and to the runners up Nathan and itsConor you were all so consistent. It seems a long time since the first day and I can’t wait for the next one now. 
Special thanks to Nathan running such a brilliant competition and for being on top of the scoring every night even when he was all day at the races on Tuesday. It was great fun and thank you.
Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Echo Gladiteur’s and Triptych’s sentiments. Well done on the win Gladiteur and nathan on a well run comp
I’m now going to work out my "REserves" score as they ran a whole lot better than my first picks Echo Gladiteur’s and Triptych’s sentiments. Well done on the win Gladiteur and nathan on a well run comp
I’m now going to work out my "Reserves" score as they ran a whole lot better than my first picks 199 without any possible Bonus Naps or the extra pick each day
Congratulations to Gladiateur, and to those others who reached a score of over two hundred; a terrific achievement. Great thanks to Nathan for the work that goes into stewarding the competition. Thanks to everyone who took part; without a good number of people taking part there would be no competition and I would have to forego the fun (and angst) that adds to the joy of Royal Ascot.
