The Craven Meeting takes place over the next couple of days at Newmarket. Now that the Grand National is out of the way I see this as the real start of the flat season. Ok I know that Cheltenham also has a meeting but I'm turning my attention to the flat. Anyway to mark this I thought I would run a tipping contest for the meeting. (I have also got a quiet couple of days at work ) The rules along the lines of Ron's points competitions are: 1 horse selected per race 1st place = 30 points 2nd place = 20 points 3rd place = 10 points you can select 1 NAP which will be worth double points. 16 races over 2 competitive days - I am not expecting to do that well in this myself but there are definitely some good races coming up. Good luck everyone!
I'll have a crack Steveo, if only to see how out of touch I am with the flat: 13.50 Mutafaakir 14.25 Baileys Jubilee (NAP) 15.00 Samitar 15.35 Zumbi 16.10 Lily's Angel 16.45 Jungle Beat 17.20 Sash Of Honour 17.55 Desert Philosopher
I'll have a crack, although as with Oddy, I can't profess to be up to speed with the flat at all so far this season, I only took my first looks at it last night looking for value in the 1000 Guineas market... Oddy mate I think we're only allowed one horse per race (so it'll probably be 0/8 for me!). 13.50: Courage 14.25: Baileys Jubilee (NAP) 15.00: Samitar 15.35: Redact 16.10: Russelliana 16.45: Perennial 17.20: Shantaram 17.55: Top Cop Blood hell, after doing my homework for that whilst writing this I've realised how much I need to get into the flat frame of mind. Can at least put it off until the end of the month! Cheers Steveo
