Bit gutted not to see a Dante comp as I'm quite addicted to them.
So, I thought I'd have a crack from day two for anyone who's interested.
I know it's a bit late, but I had to write some data-capturing script from scratch and it'll be a good opportunity to try it out

So, if you fancy having a go, here goes, rules copied from Punchestown.

Rules
Pick one horse in every race
If you pick a NR you can change it up to the start of the first race of the day
If you dont change a NR you will get the unnamed favourite
In case of a NR, you may nominate any number of reserves to your preferred choice
Any NR/Withdrawn after start of Race 1 without a nominated replacement will go on the unnamed favourite (lowest racecard number for joint/co favourites)

Points
10pts winner
5pts second
2pts third (minimum 8 runners)
1pt fourth (handicaps with 16+ runners)

Double points ** are awarded to the biggest race each day

Day 2 template
1:45 -
2:15 -
2:45 - **
3:15 -
3:50 -
4:25 -

Table will appear at the end of each days racing or intermittently if I get time.

3:15 - Fort Bastion (Fury)

hey DG, sorry only just read your PM...too late today but I'll have a go tomorrow. Ironically I actually looked at the forum before leaving for York yesterday to see if any comps for this meeting were running.

To add to my overall misery, I had a duffer of a day and couldnt pick a horse to save my life! On the plus side, the sun shone and the course looked great.

It is a stunning course, easily my favourite in the country. I went to the Dante 10 years ago when North Light won it. Cracking day out. Had a few winners too which always helps
