3 horses per race and 2 best bet races.

Simply select three horses in each of the nine races. The following imaginary bets will be placed: $10 win on each horse $2 boxed quinella on the three horses $1 boxed trifecta on the three horses. Please select two of the races as your best bets. Bet stakes will be doubled on these two races. Entries close at 5pm on Friday 12 April. Scratching replacements may be made until that time but there will be no automatic substitutions made for scratchings of any sort. The entrant with the highest aggregate will receive a $20 fixed odds bet as a prize.

Very nice mate.

Looks like there's plenty of interest so I'll post an entry thread in the standard bred comps section during the week.

Has ridden 6 winners at Santa Anita today. It took me straight back to this - a really good read: https://www.racingpost.com/news/features/frankies-magnificent-seven-the-losses-were-horrendous-but-it-catapulted-racing-to-a-different-place-amAgJ3X25HZt/

I'm thinking of running a comp on the big night at Cambridge on Friday. It will probably be 3 selections a race with win, quinella and trifectas. Just indicate your interest on here so I can gauge whether it's worthwhile doing it. There will probably be a small prize incentive.

Well we missed out too but pretty proud of my team in the second half of the comp.

Thought Pericles was home but I'll take the quinella.

Seagulls get their beak in front for the first time today.

"Barb reaching for the Panadol." She's gone for something stronger.

Dance of the desperates between you and me so far.

You beauty Rees.

Great advice PJ. I think I'll crack open a beer.

Great to see her back on Trackside. Hopefully they'll make her an offer she can't refuse when she comes home.

That was my fault. Apologies.

It's a shame your captain failed to pick that up Rob.

Barb's best bet should be Randwick Race 10. Scratching replacements for her are: Race 9 replace 17 and 20 with 19 and 21 Race 10 replace 14 with 12.

I'll sort it. I think she thought if Sydney was called off the Caulfield one would apply.

Going to be some interesting picking strategies in our match. You'd think sticking to favourites wouldn't be enough. But then again...
