1. Each competitor has 2 points to use every day there is an Irish racing meeting. The bet is either 2pts win or 1 pt e/w. If not specified the bet will be assumed to be 2pts win, whatever the price. 2. Competitors will be allowed to take a price on weekend racing/races priced up overnight, otherwise we’ll settle at SP. 3. No lays, place only, betfair prices, doubles, trebles etc. 4. If there are two or more Irish meetings on that day there is still only one bet. 5. Each competitor has two 5 point bets to use during the competition. One bet to be used by end of Sunday 27th June (Irish Derby Day) and the other to be used from Monday 28th June until end of the comp (August 1st). If somebody selects a 5 point bet, this horse may not be used as a 5 point bet by anyone else that day. 6. Bets are on Irish horse racing only. 7.Competitors may nominate in advance a "competition holiday" which must be taken in chunks of not less than a week . 8. Not posting unless stated on holiday for the week or fortnight will be the equivalent of a -1. 9. Returns will NOT include your stake. 10. Entrants will be accepted up to a week from Saturday. 11. Entrants should be prepared to keep own score. 12. Starts Saturday 22nd May (Irish 2000 Guineas Day) & ends on Sunday August 1st (final day of Galway Festival). 13. All welcome to enter.
*Moneypenny has kindly offered to do the settling*
In recent comps the SP/take a price issue has been troublesome - I hope what I have suggested in rule 2 is a fair compromise. Please let me know what you think about it (& the grey area which is whether to allow prices to be taken on 'twilight' meetings) so we can make a final decision before the comp starts
MP don't forget to correct Sinndarr as it is looking likely that he will win it now. We don't want a Stewards Enquiry at the end of the competition.

Thanks lads. There wasn't any prize money for this comp was there?
Would it be too cheeky to ask bf to donate what was the usual prize money, 100 euro, to something like the IJF on behalf of all of us esp Moneypenny who does do all the work. In fairness this competition is the only thing keeping the Irish sports section going imo. [:D][:D]

Prospero if he doesn't get a ton for winning it will be bad show. I will see the powers that be on his behalf at Kilbeggan on Saturday or The Curragh on Sunday. The least should be a charitable donation to his chosen charity.

Excellent effort sinn - well deserved for many years of excellent contributions on here
Some great scores & consistency in behind - well done lads
Thanks again to moneypenny - sterling work on your part
Btw, I am in contact with someone at bf trying to sort out a prize - don't post as much as I used to on the old version of the forum & forgot to arrange something at the outset

Cheers for that.Just looking at the statement there. Came in Sat evening. I'll donate that to a racing charity. Any ideas?
Fair play to ya for getting it out of BF. They're not a bad crowd in fairness.
Hows things besides that?

I look forward to it Sindarr! I saw you by the way going up in the stand with the old man for the big race. BUT as you were at the furlong marker you had a close up of the action as it was all unfolding. That was the only time I saw you. But then I only got down as they were going into the stalls for the 4th race.
I will be in Gowran and Tramore the next day. A group of us are staying over in Kilkenny to take in the two days and the hospitality that kilkenny offers!

Up to you who you donate the prize to - maybe one of the re-training/re-homing of racehorses charities?
Tbf, if you mention the comp from the start bf usually come up with something. As I said, on this occasion it slipped my mind (not a fan of the 'new' forum, tbh) & forgot about this after I stopped making selections in the comp
Flat season's been a bit hit & miss (apart from Royal Ascot) - World Cup was good tho' & French racing helping me to keep ticking over. How you faring yourself? If you've been backing your selections, you can't be doing bad
