Post by Ruler of The World »

OK so final day time. Tactics come into play now, what does everyone do? I think this is what makes this version of the competition much more interesting and everyone definitely still has a chance!

oops I've gone and created a thread with my selections in it.

And as you can see. I've put all my eggs in one basket. It's a bit of fun after all, hey?

Please post on here and edit your post with some waffle about how great this new scoring system is and what geniuses Chris and I are for devising it. :) Cheers!

If I had to pick 1 horse, I'd pick Rocky Creek. I just fancy Oscar Time's chances of getting around with Sam WC being a very good jockey over these fences and in cross country races and think there'll be a lot of fallers/non finishers like the 20/30 yesterday over a shorter trip!

Remember everyone, in the Grand National race itself there are no bonuses, no money back for fallers, etc.

I had it down to Rocky Creek (price too short), Oscar Time and Many Clouds... How could I back a 14 year old against such a classy young horse????
