Okay, I decided to start a new thread for the selection of our 3YO runners.



Here's how it all works:

We can choose horses in two ways. Firstly, there will be "auctions" of the top priced horses and these auctions will conclude on the Sunday night. Then starting on the Monday night, all of the remaining horses in that category will be available for anyone to claim.

In the 3YO category, you can choose a total of 2 to 6 horses and spend a maximum of $1,000,000.



Please read the rules carefully:

Rules:

As soon as I post the list of horses for each category, you can make a bid for any one of the horses up for "auction". These horses are listed in bold. When you post a bid, please set it out clearly with the full name of the horse and your bid. For example:

Miss Finland $450000

You can make bids for more than one horse at a time if you wish, but PLEASE remember that you can't exceed the salary cap of $1,000,000 and you can't cancel any bids you make. So make sure that at any one time, you don't have leading bids for horses totalling more than $1,000,000.

The minimum bid you must make for a horse is the reserve price that I have listed next to the horse. If you make a bid and nobody else posts any bids at all for that horse, then it's yours. Bids must increase in increments of $5,000. In other words, if the current highest bid is $355,000, then you must bid at least $5,000 more; $360,000. You can raise the bid by more than $5,000 if you wish. ($10,000, $15,000, $20,000 etc)

Bids must be posted before the auction deadline to count. In other words, if the auction deadline for a particular horse is 7:00pm, then you must have your bid posted by no later than 6:59. Whichever person has the highest bid for the horse at the deadline time on Sunday night, will get the horse. If two people happen to post the same bid at the same time, then the one whose post appears first on the forum will take precedence.

----------

After the auction has concluded on Sunday night, the sale for the remaining horses in the category will begin at 7pm Qld time on Monday night. The first person to claim each horse at the set price will get to buy it. As with the auction, if two people post the same horse at the same time, the one whose post appears first takes precedence.

well sportz i guess that wasn't going to work out for me anyway!

the horse i was hoping you would miss is, incidentally, not on the list, which means i would have bid 900k for haradasun if i got in on time

Got to be quick to beat Spartacus!

Hope it's the same horse i was thinking of Chuck

Nah, only messing with your head !

Dunno. think i might live to regret that one if he doesn't have too many races
Ah well, he is PRETTY good.

Oh, I've probably missed quite a few good ones. I'm sure I'll think of some over the next few days that I could have included. In any case, if you want to pick them, they're yours for $100,000 on Monday night if you're the first to mention them.

MISS FINLAND - $900,000
