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.Mischief

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.

1. Are you interested?

2. Are you happy to pay to enter?
