Erm... what happened to points for fourth ?

Thought it was if the bookies placed them so did we ? Maybe its just 365 but fourth was a placing.

Handicaps of more than 16 runners - 1/4 odds on first four places.
Handicaps of 12-15 runners - 1/4 odds on first three places.
All other races of more than 8 runners - 1/5 odds on first three places.
All races of 5-7 runners - 1/4 odds on first two places.

Any more than that is enhanced place terms

Points are only paid for places which the bookies pay out on (e.g. third for 8 or more runners and fourth for 16+ runners).

If bookies paid 4 it was a choice not an obligation. Pete scores on what they're obliged to pay out on.

1st Dame Rose (FR) 14/1.............15+5 = 20 Pts
2nd Oscar Rose (IRE) 20/1............10+5 = 15 Points
3rd Petticoat Tails 9/2 f..............................7 Points

18 runners but was a NH flat race. I don't care if Paddy Power played 10 places. First 3 only by law.

No-one had that winner but a few had the 2nd for a nice 15 pts :)

Day 1 scores and leaderboard lads.

Superb tipping by Salgar who has won the Cheltenham Tipster Title before now so is the man to beat already.  3 winners, 2 x seconds and a third, great work.

ACLE scored 85 and didn't even get his NAP in. 4 winners and a second!!

Any issues with your scores let us know please :wave
