Of course :)

Just to clarify (and a point I've raised before, sorry!) but "stakes returned" - - - as per the Saturday comp, where a NR gets you a £2 or £4 "return"? Therefore £1000 on a NR returns a grand? Just looking for a loophole to exploit!

And needless to say, thanks for running this <ok>
Surely you aren't looking to win the comp with £4k Reebs <laugh>

I'll make it clear in the Rules that the £1,000 has to be invested in a runner or runners, so any return on NR(s) will be forfeited if not staked. I will also change the rule regarding the timing of the replacement(s)
 
Please note Rule change in thread header. Briefly, NRs must be replaced or stake forfeited. Bets do not have to be placed before racing starts; you can place bets during the afternoon

Competition now open. Pleas add selections on this thread.

We have 20 entries so far. Anyone who has not yet registered may do so below. Late entrants accepted but will forfeit the £1,000 allocation for any complete day missed
 
So Ron, say you had the grand on the winner in the first, can you then have another bet on the day with your winnings?
No. £1,000 to be staked how you like each day. So, if you put the grand on the first race (or any race) that's it; no more bets until the next day

It'd be £4000 more than I've ended with before <laugh> I knew you'd close that particular loophole - now I'll have to revert to pinsticking :)
