        Actually both of those horses are in Race 6. Need to either pick a different horse for race 7, or race 6 bet will stand, and the race 7 bet will count as non-runner and go on the favourite, as after that it won't be fair to change.
        Sounds good, Newcastle is a mad kip!

              ...It's been the most uneventful day 3 ever...All will change in the next 2 races, I can feel it in my fingers, I can feel it in my toes, Luckforsome will bink this, and so the feeling goes...

                        Am I reading this right, literally not one person has backed a winner today?

                        Feel like I should withold the prize pool for gross incompetence.

                                      kev - if All Set to Go wins (beating Shraap and Luckforsome by literally one euro - we may need to check those numbers)
                                      eoghan - if Always Resolute wins
                                      iona - if Havana Hermano wins (higher balance than Dice)
                                      lplate - if Prairie Town wins
                                      tie between Pokerhand and DeadParrot if Welsh Rarebit wins


                                      jibzzz could technically win if favourite lengthens by about two spots
                                      favourite will go off at 5/2 or 3/1 at best

                                                    Any one of 4 could be fav, im guessing one will go off at 5s though at least

                                                        If joint favs, he's on the one with the lowest number.

                                                                                                        Can I suggest 1 tweak to the rules for extra gamble and interest that only concerns the final day. For fear if dirty rotten fruit thrown at me!.

                                                                                                        On the last day players can choose to do a single bet which would be either a double, treble or 4-fold with their balance not exceeding a 100 stake. But if they take up this option they abdicate betting with whatever balance they have left over 100*. So 1 bet thats if if you choose to parlay.

                                                                                                        So if you have say 250 left you can do a 100 parlay and thats if. You arent able to place bets for the remaining 150.

                                                                                                        It means players down to the felt previously being no real threat or much interest left could run it up with a chip and a chair. This increases the pressure on the overnight leader further knowing everyone has some chance no matter how slim of landing a double, treble or 4-fold but moreso increased interest at least?. And imagine if someone binked this way.

                                                                                                        I think Cheltenhan and Aintree comp in 2019 have been somewhat damp squibs for entertainment value and this could just inject a bit of razimitazz into it for the final day for everyone still in.
                                                                                                        What about a vote before next Cheltenham or else forget it if people poo poo this suggestion?.

                                                                                                        *Whatever balance they have left after the 100 parlay gets subtracted from the winning parlay should they scoop.
