Last year, we had nine players, it would be great if all & more participated this time round.

I know a couple of regulars struggled to take part, hopefully they can find the time & effort next week.

Why dont you have a go Hector?
Most of us can’t tip s**t out of a bucket and you’d have the added incentive of potentially finishing in front of 64. You would never ever let him forget if you did.
Go on….

Oh yeah I think you’re right. RA was it?

[WhiteRose]

I’ll definitely give it a go, usually at the event for a day or two but can’t go this year so I’ should have the time.

Do we make 7 picks plus the stake before the first race starts each day?

Would be good to have you on board WR.
Essentially you are correct but have a read of the rules if I were you.

You can make more than one selection in each race if you wish to, WhiteRose.

As Jay advises, check the rules in my opening post of this topic.

Good to have you on board.

I think so, Jay.
