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.

You're a quick study Hitch, aren't you?. Last time you didn't know your ass from
your elbow, now you're giving directions. That's not fair, you probably do know your ass from your elbow.
SPOILER
Well done NewApproach, bred for the flat but stayed on dourly. Great job from Hitch under a tough and unforgiving task master that Raoul Duke III is.

The loots have been shipped to our champion, New Approach. Many thanks to my beautiful assistant Hitch, who combined technical wizardry with a disturbing lack of horse racing knowledge.
If Ascot demand is there, it will require another franchising effort I'm afraid...."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

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.
