Simple Saturday competition for anyone who wants to join in. This has replaced the Saturday TV Competition. The new format started on Saturday, Nov 4th 2017 with 17 entrants.

NB if no nap is indicated it will be taken to be the first one posted, regardless of the time of the race Your selection will, by default, be deemed to be a "win bet" However, you may choose for any of your selections to go ew - if so please specify "ew" Points will be gained based on the return to a £2 win at SP or a £1 ew at SP as applicable (Place odds are 1/4 odds 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th depending on the number of runners - see below) The nap selection will score double points NRs may be replaced at any time before the race start time.

Re our exchange by PM, NDS. I require named horses but in this instance I will accept the above. The reason I need named horses is that I select the horse from the day's runners (which I have imported to my system) and it pre-fills all the other details. When I record results, the rest is automatic. So, having to look at every selection AFTER the results are in is a bit of a pain. In fairness to all, I will allow this type of entry just once for every entrant, in special circumstances PS. If there are joint/co favs I will take the one with the lowest race card No (usual practice in comps)
I know there's 'calling it afterwards', but isn't that pushing it a bit Ron, picking Friday's runners for Saturday's comp?.... Or have I missed something?
I thought yesterday was Friday. I was thrown by the fact that I had to get up early this morning to take my grandson to football. For some reason they are playing today and they have gone in coaches to Lorient, which is 3hrs away in Brittany. After their game they go to watch the seniors, who are 4th in the second tier, playing the League leaders. Last year Lorient were in the top tier and managed to beat Paris Saint Germain 1-0 . I think our U14 team could be in for a thrashing . They get back get back at 1am Saturday. I'll have to look again for my Saturday selections
Yep. Lost 6-2. We were winning 2-1 at half time but lost a key wing back and had to re-shuffle. Up against a very strong and very pacey team. The senior team drew with the League leaders but were all over them.

I'm tempted to take MY one chance to just select unnamed favs. I'm very sick with bronchitis that just won't shift, despite double antibiotics and steroids x 2 also. A cracked rib through violent coughing is just adding to my complications. However right now I'm going through a relatively quiet spell, so I'll at least try to make some sort of effort Cheltenham 2-00 Braqueur D'Or 2-35 Gumball (personal rant - really hope the spelling mistake doesn't win!
