Racing Post's Search For a Tipster Competition

Are any of you guys entering this? Check it out on today's Racing Post splash screen: http://www.racingpost.co.uk/news/splash.sd

There is a catch though, it costs 5 GBP to enter, but for a top prize of 36 grand sterling I think it's worth a shot. You can pay via paypal.

I guess I'm the only one from here who has entered this.

Healio

I've entered aswell, but am yet to pay. Hopefully i'll get it sorted tomorrow.

scojones

Sweet. Let us know how you get on. I'll post my selections and progress here, you should too! By the looks of it I can't make a selection for Saturday until midnight tonight.

I was also thinking of giving this a go. Whats the closing date?

scojones

Sometime today I think Wayne.

DANDYLION

I have entered today. Looking forward to this. Makes a change from the Tote Ten to Follow which I've abandoned this time round.

I like the format of this new game.

So good luck, hope to see you in the 2nd round.

scojones

Cheers mate!
After alot of hooing and haaaing I went with Jacks Craic. This was a tough decision because Faasel and Afsoun should run good races tomorrow as well. I probably was a bit premature with this because all of the data is not on the RP yet, but it is on irish-racing.com -> they expect Afsoun to be around 11/4 but I can see it being around evens. Faasel has a superb each way chance but I'm not sure if it has it in it to win, maybe it just needed the run last time out when it was well beaten by Noble Request and Crow Wood but it's not a risk I'm willing to take. If you take away Jacks Craic's last two runs it has brilliant form. In its last two runs things never went right for it, and it has won well around Newbury before. I just hope its fresh enough.

25/11 Nap Newbury, Race 3, Horse 1

DANDYLION

Ummm Noble Request in the Fighting Fifth (3.30 at Newc). Eeeee lots of ummming and arrrring and scratching of head...! And we have to do this for 5 consecutive days. Exciting tho.

Hate trying to work out what race number/horse number is...may be my downfall.

Healio

25/11 Nap Newbury, Race 5, Horse 2

scojones

Hehe, tis annoying that you have to go by race number and horse name alright.

So lads, if your first NAP doesn't win are you out? Or do ya still have a chance? It's ages since I read the rules and I'm about to head out for the night now.

Healio

Jonesy, as far as im aware you have to pick one a day til friday then the top (insert number here), are judged on their level stake profit for the week (for new people or the less informed, the profit from putting the same unit on every horse.) with the top (inserted number) going through to round 2, and everyone else who paid for week-1 get a chance to pay again and play again with a chance to qualify for round 2 the next week.

scojones

Sound as a bell Healio.

DANDYLION

Grrrr, well Noble Request got second to Straw Bear. Some days I trully dislike Tony McCoy. It wasn't worth picking Straw Bear with a price at Evs.

Ok, so off to pick my nap for tomorrow. Good luck fellas...

Fair play to ya, 47th is a great result. You can pay another 5 sterling and enter the second round I think.

Healio

Viking Flagship

My first 3 picks won, 13-2, evens and 8-1 but last two picks both finished second. Think it might be tough to get top twenty in next qualifying round but i'll give it another go
