Royal Ascot Contest
to celebrate the best 5 days of racing (Tuesday to Saturday) in Europe, I think that a contest would be a grand idea. I'll even throw in a book or two for the winner. Anyway, I propose the following format.
- Pick 2 horses in each race plus an alternate in the case of non-runners. - $10 will go on the first horse, $5 each-way (win and place) on the second horse and a $5 reverse exacta will be put on the first 2 selections, therefore $30 on each horse. -Entries should be in before the first race of the day which starts at 14.30 GMT which I believe is 9.30 Eastern Time.. Entries and form can be found on the www.racingpost.co.uk and www.sportinglife.com/racing/news/ . Any more questions just ask..

Cool.
Do we have two alternatives? or just one? Not sure about the time differences now..... i've been told they are an extra hour behind us at the minute, although i'm not convinced.
