Oops Pete I forgot to nominate a Nap just back from work so I will nominate High Bridge as my Nap in the 5:30.

Beat me to it

Just noticed that mate and was coming on to say you can have the 20 points.

There were no other horses in the race other than Diamond King with the wrods 'Diamond' or 'Hill' in the name so its obvious which horse you meant.

well done

i wrote yamworth instead of yorkhill they both have a Y at the front

All 4 horses in the last scored certain players points one way or another. A good few of you had the winner for another 15 points

Final result of Day 2 and another good result for many of our players as Ballyandy scores 15 points.

At first glance it looks like Paul211b is clearly the highest point scorer today but full scores will be up shortly

Buck Pete · « **Reply #212 on:** March 16, 2016, 06:37:05 pm »

Top DAY 2 scorer is Paul211b with 72 points (and not 87 as i initially thought). 2 winners, 3 seconds and a third got him his points haul today.

Please check your scores below if you so wish and PM me any errors please.

Zammo Magiure also scored well today and has built up a bit of a lead overall but its only halfway and he can be caught.

Overall leaderboard to follow.

zamagiure · « **Reply #213 on:** March 16, 2016, 06:43:56 pm »

Do I play it safe or attack from the start. Maybe this post should be in the Man utd v Liverpool Europa thread.

Pete, do you only get the Nap Bonus if your horse wins, or do you double the points for 2nd and 3rd?

Yeah but bookies don't usually pay out on 4th mate. It wasn't a handicap.

If any bookies paid out on 4th or 5th it was a promotion.

For future reference and this will go in the rules. I use the 'Sporting Life' website results page for scoring places

Them's the rules

A steady 62 followed by a 61. Not too bad a start. I'm glad I backed up my choice of Yorkhill with the bookies too. Sprinter Sacre felt worth a punt at 11/2 too! Anyway, onwards and upwards...
