Well if my tips scratched I believe I should be entitled to my money back so's I can invest it the following bet.
NO SUBS!

sounds good

When do you plan on starting?

Moeee this would not work as there is no money to reinvest there is only one race a week to pick a horse in, so if you dont have a horse then sorry but your off the island.

count me in

Sorry moeee and others, but i think subs are the only way to go or you are gooooone.
Otherwise, we could use this idea i was thinking of:
You have a first pick and a first reserve.
Same rules for the first pick as before, but if it is scratched, then your reserve takes its' place - but it can only WIN for you to stay in the comp

Yeah i like the win only idea so you can stay in....would be better that way if you get knocked out in the first round you want have to wait to many weeks till a new one comes along and i like the idea of two selections 1 first pick and one reserve incase of scratching....if both are scratched i think it is just to bad and you are out....after all you won't have to wait to long if the win betting is used instead of place

Very likely starter subject to final rules.
I’m okay with starting this week. If we do likely I’ll concentrate on this comp and forget the other. I would have only been picking roughies in any case.

Ditto.

I will start this week...just have to win the last comp first
