Smile Royal Ascot Contest

A little early I know, but I am excited about it. Hopefully there will be a bit of interest in Royal Ascot this year with Cannonball and the handful of juveniles coming over from the States.

Here's the format I propose:

-2 picks per race, (plus alternates if you want)

-£40 on first pick, £25 on second pick

-£5 reverse exacta on first 2 picks

-you can select a bet of the day or nap which doubles the amount on your main bet to £80

any questions, please ask..

Royal Ascot is on from Tuesday 16th - Saturday 20th June.

Hello Brock,

Any chance for PPs and maybe a suggested site or two we might look at for additional info?

And last can you tell about the term "nap?"

Being in the States I'm only familiar with the eyes closed variety.

Stickhorse, I'm not Brock but hope I can answer your questions.

The best two websites to find PPs and general info are:

www.racingpost.com
www.attheraces.com

Both of them require you to be a member, but signing up is easy and completely free.

Attheraces is a great website, packed full of facts and figures and free videos of past performances, and a lot of good people giving their thoughts. During Royal Ascot, I imagine there will be a micro site (might already be up).

The term 'NAP' I believe is a very old term and has something to do with Napoleon. Anyway, a 'NAP' is your best bet. The same as a 'Lock' which is what I gather the Americans call their best bet, am I correct?

I am all over this.

Kev, I hope you are mentally prepared to take a beating from a Yank in your own backyard.
