Top scorer today was alist5. who jumps 8 places into 7th chalking up an 11/4 win.

After that we have Hilly  and Draw1 , both bagging a 13/8 winner.


17 winners today compared to 11 losers.

Cloughie, congratulations on taking over at the top. Your horse was withdrawn from the betfair market 12 minutes before your email was sent.

Well done all winners. Good luck tomorrow.

Cheers soldier - he's certainly made a difference coming back.
I think we're all prepared to forgive the Stoke episode for now but how long before he does it again is my concern.

Anyway, I need to pick some winners otherwise big keef will be happy at the end of this month! Grin

Just seen my selection is a n/r so

a rest day [Happy]


Well it would be harsh to dock someone a point because they're a few minutes late. Don't think the rules are clear about the situation - this is how I've always settled it before in the Prem. And he hadn't taken a rest day so far this month, so he wasn't trying to pull a fast one.

Cloughie:

I see the selection for Cloughie1 yesterday has caused a bit of a kerfuffle on there but tbh  i dont see why it should have done so .Ok so the selection was posted after a horse had been declared a non runner but surely rules 3 and 8 sort of cover this sort of eventuality.
Selections can be invalid for various reasons but it cant be fair that an invalid selection is punished by the deduction of a point .
To use the betting shop as an example if you place an invalid selection what would happen - answer you would get your money back and they certainly  wouldnt penalise you .
I know the comps are a bit different but you do have the 5 non posting days rule to fall back on if supposed skullduggery was being engaged  but in this case thats just absurd  as the email was sent at 4.19pm a good hour and a half before Wonderboys selection was due to run so where was any advantage to be gained when Wonderboys horse could well have romped in long before the other selection was even due to run.
I could understand if all non-posting days had been used up but that clearly wasnt the case here so surely common sense should prevail and by all means deduct a posting day as basically its a non selection under the rules but its pretty harsh to deduct a point in these circumstances imo

The rule says " On any day that a competitor does not post (excluding Sundays and final days) they will automatically revert to a possible maximum of 5 rest days per calendar month, which will be settled as a non-runner. "

There are 3 interpretations:
1 - It applies for any day that a competitor does not post a valid selection. (This is my interpretation)

2 - It applies for any day that a competitor does not post any selection , valid or invalid, but they can post other stuff.

3 - It only applies if a competitor posts nothing at all. If he posts simply a smiley then he will lose a point.

If you were going by the letter of the law (literally) then it only applies if nothing is posted as in 3. Which is nonsense. People post comments all the time without making a selection. Personally I think 1 is the common sense interpretation. And that's how I've always applied it. If the majority aren't OK with that, then I'm happy to go with 2 or 3 or anything else people can agree on.

The rules aren't perfect - we aren't lawyers after all, but I think the intention was clear. If someone doesn't post it is taken that he/she wants to take the day off and is given a rest day. This replaces an old more complicated system which I've mostly forgotten but did involve settlers having to effectively do the selections for them while they were away.

But if someone posts a smilie or comment but no selection that too is taken to mean he wants the day off for napping purposes. But if he posts what is clearly a selection but gets it wrong then he doesn't qualify for a rest day because he's not taking a holiday, which is what rest days are all about.

I'm not fussed about this example particularly. I'm just pointing out what I understand the rules to be, having played something of a role in drafting the present ones
