Okay, well, I'm a bit worried that a few people might miss out because it's not a regular Saturday meeting, but it is a major public holiday race day, so I think we should still give it a shot.


COMPETITION RULES:
$150 to bet with each week. $100 in win/each way bets, a $30 trifecta and a $20 all-up bet. Of course, all tips to be posted prior to the jump time of your first race. In the case of scratchings, it would be desirable if you could make changes, especially for the trifecta part of the comp. If that's not possible however, your scratched horses will simply be taken out and that money refunded.

WIN / EACH-WAY BETTING: ($100)
No restriction at all on the number of selections per race or the amount bet on any race, as long as your bets add up to $100. However, you can only bet the following amounts:
$5 win, $10 win, $20 win, $30 win, $40 win, $50 win
$5 e-w, $10 e-w, $15 e-w, $20 e-w, $25 e-w

TRIFECTA BETTING: ($30)
Everyone to pick out one trifecta each week. It can be on any race. It will be a 1/2 unit trifecta and there are 4 options you can choose:
Option 1: A 5 horse 'box' trifecta (If any 3 of your 5 horses finish in the placings in any order, you win)
Option 2: A 3/6/6 trifecta (3 horses to win, and those 3 plus another 3 for the 2nd and 3rd placings)
Option 3: A 2/7/7 trifecta (2 horses to win, and those 2 plus another 5 for the 2nd and 3rd placings)
Option 4: A Roving Banker with 5 others (Your 'banker' MUST finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd, and any 2 of the other 5 to fill the other placings)
Please set out very clearly which option you want to use and which horses you want for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

ALL-UP BETTING: ($20)
Everyone to pick out a $20 all-up bet at one of the venues each week.
You can have 2, 3 or 4 races and you are allowed to pick each selection for a win OR for a place.
Of course, normal place betting rules apply. If your horse runs 3rd in a field of 7 and there's no 3rd div, then that's counted as a loss. Also, please specify if you want any or all of your selections for a place, because if not, I'll just assume you're picking them to win.
