Anyone interesting in this? Was thinking of starting it at Down Royal 1st week in Nov. Will modify the scoring from last yr - points for 1-2-3 per race. Irish trained horses only. Bonus points races etc.
But the main issue is money!! Last year we just had a miserable few quid from bf. Was thinking either 10 or 15euros per entry, 1 stable per person, would need to be enough interest though. Payment would be via paypal. I would gain no profit out of this, unless I win of course.
It will run til the end of the Nh season, and there will be sub periods, all the fine print will be detailed in advance.
NORN - Weren't you pulled up last yr? you seem confident this yr, have we a handicap plot on our hands
Good old Davy Russell did me on the line last yr by finishing second on Solwhit
I'm in again Down - well done
