***Saturday Tipping Competition***

OK, Here goes this Saturday's 606 v2 Horse Racing Tipping Competition. This weeks competition revolves around the televised races on Channel Four, with a massive eight races to choose from, i'm sure we will all be able to come up with a few winners hidden away in some of the races. The rules are as follows -

You have eight races to choose from .... Links to the racecards are at the bottom of this page.
Select FOUR horses from any of the eight races listed (No more than one horse in any race)
The selected races are - 1.50, 2.25, 3.00, 3.35 from Ascot. 2.10, 2.45, 3.20 from Haydock and the 3.45 from Wincanton.
From your FOUR selections you must nominate a NAP and a NEXT BEST

Scoring is as follows -

Each Nap Will Have a 3pt Stake Placed At SP - ALL RETURNS INCLUDING STAKE WILL COUNT TOWARDS YOUR FINAL POINTS TOTAL
Each Next Bext Will Have a 2pt Stake Placed At SP - AGAIN AS ABOVE RE STAKE AND FINAL POINTS TOTAL
Each Remaining Selection Will Have A 1pt Stake Placed At SP - AGAIN AS ABOVE RE STAKE ETC
You Will Receive 2 Pts Bonus If You Get ONE WINNER
You Will Receive 4 Pts Bonus If You Get TWO WINNERS
You Will Receive 6 Pts Bonus If you get THREE WINNERS
You Will Receive 10 Pts Bonus If you get FOUR WINNERS

If one of your selections is a NON RUNNER your stake will automatically be placed on the FAVOURITE in that race (joint fav means your stake will be spilt).

The winner is the person with the most points .... SIMPLES !!!!!

In the event of a tie-break .... We will toss a pancake to determine the winner (thought that would be better than a coin as it's shrove Tuesday soon)
