    Ron you can get Zarakander 6-1 with WH, so you don't want the 3s <ok> (In fact he was 8-1 earlier with them which I flagged up on the daily thread)

    Okay count me in. I'll look at the cards over the weekend and make my choices (which are all guaranteed to run like donkeys)

    Cheers Beef. Was it my eye sight? Massive difference. 6s it is then. Not that it will make any difference if the fly turns up.

    Can I ask a quick question? Are we allowed to turn over our cash? So say you won some money when Cinders and Ashes smashes the Supreme Novices, and then wanted to lump your winnings on Sprinter Sacre, would that be allowed?

    Basically is it that we 'start with £1000 capital' or 'have £1000 worth of bets to place'?

    You start with a bank of grand Danish and see what you can turn it into.
    We used to do this on the old 606....I think I turned it into 28 grand once and lost!!!!

    ! Nice one. That's a great effort.

    Still, if I'm going well going into day 4 I'm not sure I'll be able to resist going all in somewhere near the end - at the end of the day there's no glory for 2nd (or as is more likely, 42nd) place!

    please can i have a go at this?

    so every day, if i've read the rules right, i post my horses and how much money i want on it and each way or win? i won't get any more complicated than that. and i have a massive £1000 to throw at cheltenham. is that right?

    i'll probably be medium rubbish i predict, but count me in! :emoticon-0100-smile

    is it ok if i post my horses a bit late in the day the night before? i work funny shifts but i can try do them straight after, about 11pmish?

    You may post your selections at any time up to 5mins before the relevant race starts. Eg if you have a good win you may invest more on any subsequent race. If you make a selection before noon on the day of the race you have the option to take the best available odds.
    Good luck.

    Beef, the only way The Fly is going to get stopped is by a bolt of lightning
