HORSE WHISPERER,

You must be a masochist mate. Sydney and Brisbane? Boy, is there going to be a lot of fat horses running around. A form students nightmare and a bookies smorgasbord!

RABBITZ,

Your on the right track with the rules. Your better off leaving the Comp. open to anyone for the 3mths. Punters tend to miss meeting here and there and also drop out completely. You don't want to end up with only a few players toward the end.

As a bit of a rule guide, throw in a rule that the Fav. will be a Sub. for all scratchings unless a player replaces it and set a min. bet for win and place bets. Say, $20 or $25 min. bet. You don't want to be scoring 30 $10 bets [or worse] :-)
