Welcome to this years York Ebor Festival Competition
Starts 23rd August
RULES
You must select 1 horse in each race over the 4 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
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 at my discretion but you will get hit with 20% point deduction
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.

Well done MrsRaymo, early days but Raymo had best check if there’s any Silvo left in the cupboard so he can start polishing your favourite gateaux fork

Hi Nathan
I think I’m owed 5 points today, 48 points. Not much but every bit helps
Talaayeb winner 9/1 (22)
Dartmouth 2nd 11/4 (6)
Gabr 2nd 3/1 (6)
Mojito winner 3/1 (14)Good luck for the last day..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Bugger I’ve mark Talaayeb down as 17 points so everybody that did the horse is owed another 5 points or 10 pts for Nap. I might have to sort it out later as going out in a moment.

Thanks for bringing that up Jac.
I’ve added points on for yourself, dfward and Ham
Sorry guysCharles Darwin to conquer the World
A final day score of 99 catapults Triptych to the top of the leaderboard to take the title of Queen of York.
Eddystone Rock being napped done the damage to see off Ham by 21 points. Noverre23 took the bronze, not seen your name on here so welcome and well played.I believe it will be the Inter Forum challenge against talkinghorses on Champions Day next up, keep your eyes peeled for any info on that.

WD Jac, storming home! And also ham and Noverre23 with those good scores and everyone up there a few points outside the places.
Thanks as ever for running the comp Nathan, the more of us in it the more fun it is looking at everyone’s selections but we appreciate the workload it gives you and 4 days is a fair old commitment
Thanks green I’ve just got home from Newmarket, stayed to watch a bit of Jess Glynne after racing and amazed to see that I have won this.
Some really high scoring today so I was very lucky that I napped Eddystone Rock and can’t believe that he went off at 20/1
He thoroughly deserved that win after being mugged by Thundering Blue last run at Newmarket (Aug 12).
Hope you backed him Raymo I noticed you also put him up.Sorry to have beaten Ham who has had such a consistent 3 days and well done to Noverre for filling my usual slot in 3rd place this year
Great tipping all week from everyone.Many thanks to Nathan for running this comp again and all the hard work you put into it
Really proud to have won this ..Jac XThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...
