^^ Ascot King George Meeting Tipping Competition ^^

The King George Meeting (or Betfair Weekend if you prefer) takes place over the following three days at Ascot. Apart from the Group 1 contest on Saturday this is a more low key meeting than some other festivals this summer, but I always think that it provides a good warm up for Glorious Goodwood next week!

To mark this I will run a tipping contest for the meeting.
The rules:
1 horse selected per race
1st place = 40 points (50 points if you pick the winner of the King George)
2nd place = 20 points
3rd place = 10 points
you can select 1 NAP which will be worth double points, and if you NAP the winner of the King George this is worth 100 points!

ALL selections to be submitted by the time of the first race.

Good luck everyone!

A sad day for racing.
I totally lost interest in the race after Rewilding fell but well done to racingnut and braveheart who tipped the winner. He looks quite a prospect, and it is good for the race that a 3 year old won (the first in the race for 8 years) Hopefully more of them will once again turn up in future runnings.

Day 2 scores

1. Braveheart 150
2. racingnut 140
3. Solerina 100
4. Degs 74 90
5. Steveo77 50

FINAL LEADERBOARD

Morning all. An exciting final day at the top saw Solerina and Racingnut share the win, each amassing 300 points over the 3 days. I probably should have said that in the event of a tie the person tipping the winner of the King George should win but I will let you decide that amongst yourselves

1. Solerina & racingnut 300
3. Steveo77 & braveheart 210
5. Degs 74 90

let me know if you want me to do something similar for Goodwood.

steveo
