Dubai Carnival Contest IV

[brockguy]

Im a bit late with this as the Carnival starts tomorrow but as it is tradition here, there will be the 4th installment of this contest.

Roll of Honour
2010 - ryonker1
2009 - No Chance To Dance
2008 - Jairpeo

Due to my time pressures, I will try to simplify the contest scoring as much as possible, but as an added bonus, I will personally send out a prize for the winner!!

Rules:

- 2 selections per race with an alternate pick in case of a scratch

- $40 win on the first horse and a $5 exacta box on the 2 selected horses so a total of $50 per race

- Mark your best bet of the day (Nap) and that horse's stake is doubled and the exacta bet is also doubled.

- All returns settled at UK Industry Odds and only the thoroughbred races count!

- Like previous years, Super Thursday points will be doubled and World Cup Night points trebled so at least there is still something to play for up until the end of the carnival.

- The person with the highest return over the period wins and dont worry if you miss a week or two, ye are all welcome - we got 20 playing last year so hopefully we will get a few more this year. Thats the plan.

The most obvious links for those wanting more are www.dubairacenight.com (great website run by member Pat Cummings) www.dubairacingclub.com and www.racingpost.com.

If anyone else has queries, questions, abuse for me etc etc, just let me know.

Hey Brock is there going to be a minimum number of races played this year?

Just wondering as someone could sit it out and then come in on DWC day and win the whole thing!

Thought maaaaybe it would be a decent idea.

Thanks for running it again!

Hi guys,

I've been waiting for this Brock, I was getting worried you weren't going to run it this year. I'll be playing, trying (and probably failing) to regain my title from 2009.

Will have a good look through form and comments tonight and get my selections in.

Hey MMSC, you dont have to play every week but if someone comes in just for the last day, I will probably not let them avail of the bonus points. They will be reserved for regular players

Congrats, Jaripeo! That is fantastic and sorry for not congratulating everyone one by one... I jump on and off so quickly my head is always spinning.

As a group we did pretty damned well today, didn't we?

Your wish is my command Pat - Its looking good for the Dubai expert as his strong performance continues. The top 3 all had cracking days which shows the importance of Super Thursday, but with treble points to go on the big night, there is still all to play for..
