    I ran this competition to cover all four days of the Ebor meeting last year - there was a good take up so I thought I'd try a repeat!

    You need TWO selections in each of the six York races starting on Wednesday (Day 1)

    Scoring will be based on win SP odds and forecast returns to £1 (technically therefore you are placing two £1 win singles and a £1 rfc each race) Winnings each day carried over to next day, you don't start with a bank so no one goes below zero or gets kicked out!

    I'll update league tables the following morning.

    I won't ask who wants in - just post selections here for the first day when you are good and ready, and if no-one shows up, I promise not to cry :D

    Blimey Ron that was quick - hope they all run :)

    I've still got last years spreadsheet, so I only need change selections - you weren't in it or I could tell you how you did!

    Presumably NRs can be replaced Reebs? Or do they get replaced by the fav?

    I'll replace with the fav (or 2nd fav if necessary) if the player doesn't change it himself. Or in the interests of equality, herself :)

    I like the idea of two selections, it makes it a bit easier for useless people like me. :)

    That's a good point Ron, instead finishing tailed off, we could be distanced. It gives me an idea for another comp, one for those of us who struggle. We each pick two selections per race, each must be 10/1 or less and all selections miss finish out of the money. <laugh>
