I would add that original posting (selections) must be quoted  if adjustments ie scratchings  are made after 2.00pm, otherwise you will find yourself going forward and backwards looking for updates.


Added a guideline, and you got me thinking westie. Added rule 12.

Well, he's not to be believed, either.  He reckoned last night he was asleep, when in fact he was going through your Rules with a magnifying glass. Sad

I'm also happy to add something further to the prize pool. $150 Flexi Rover Banker Trifecta on any race on the Sandown Cup meeting. Let's make it a 33% share each to the winner (you can decide how), PP and myself.

PP,

Firstly, I must again say how efficient your work is on this forum.     Thumb Up

Secondly, the support you have received is second to none and the prizes on offer is tremendous and this forum adds to the excitement of the Spring Carnival.

May I just pose a question to the rules - Do you have to make a selection?

For instance, Chuggers may be $400 in front on the final day and decides, I will sit pat.  Is this correct?
