Stake - We will start as usual with a mythical 300 points and bets will either be 10 WIN or 5 EW. Your winnings will be added to your 300 and your losses deducted.
Race - The race each Saturday will normally be the richest race of the day. However, this rule will be slightly flexible when it comes to big meetings like the Grand National. The National isn't the richest race of the day but is the obvious choice to use. And I like to do something a bit different with the National, give everybody TWO selections - 1 win and 1 EW. Plus it would be nice to also include the Cheltenham Gold Cup as well this season. I know its on a Friday but be nice to have that in too as we have less NH races than Flat.
Each Way - EW places will be as per most bookmakers for handicaps ( 2 places in fields of less than 7, 3 places in fields of 8-15 inclusive and 4 places for fields of 16 or over ) but only for handicaps remember. And EW will ALWAYS be a 1/4 of the odds.
Missing a race - Like the flat racing contest we had recently, if you miss a race a 25 point deduction will be incurred. However, if you know you will miss a race ( due to holiday etc ) then you can either chose in advance a horse number or say select the 2nd fav or message me with your choice. This way you will always be in play.
As we voted for in the flat comp. If your horse is a non runner you will be given the favourite if you do not re select in time. In the event of two or more joint/co favourites it will be the highest numbered on the racecard. You can, if you so wish, though select a reserve selection.
The season will start and end with two gold cups.
Start will be the Paddy Power Gold Cup on Saturday 16th Nov 2013
End will be the Bet365 Gold Cup on 26th April 2014
Thanks
If you think you may miss a week or two you can message me now with a selection ( eg the favourite win, number 4 ew and so on ). A couple of you did that in the flat season and it worked well. There is therefore no pressure on you to post if its tight and you will never miss a week
If you wish to do that can you PM me with your preferred option should you miss a race and I can keep that PM for records.
Cheers
