Trump 1,956 Report post Posted October 25, 2019 I’d go Derby Day Group 1 races only (I think there’s about 4 Group 1!races. The most “wins” - wins a Melb Cup bet. If a tie, then count back on number of points from the dead heaters on a 3/2/1 basis. $100 win and two quinellas dividing the balance. Any winnings go to the charity you choose, but the Charity must be linked to Thoroughbred Racing. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houlahan's Dream 63 Report post Posted October 25, 2019 Well, I'm kind of new round here but....$50 to spend on cup, $40 on EW bets. $10 exotics. Winner by total 'collected'. Nice and simple. Works on $$$ value rather than pure selecting skill. My .02c worth. 1 1 scooby3051 and Black Kirrama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slam dunk 967 Report post Posted October 25, 2019 The race has big prize money down to 10th. Therefore a simple comp. Pick the winner and 4 horses to run top ten. If not won then winner and 3 horses etc. Or have 2 horses to win and 4 top ten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archer 20 Report post Posted October 26, 2019 Simple comp, $100 or $50 to spend however you want on the Cup only, best total takes it. Though I thought Pounds comp was going to be over a couple of days ? 1 Aaron Bidlake reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ponderosa8 223 Report post Posted October 26, 2019 Pick 7 horses in the Race.. Winner will be the person who gets the First Four or closest too. If more than 1 person gets the First Four then decided on their next highest finishing runner and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gruff 1,358 Report post Posted October 29, 2019 I reckon do 12 head to heads based on the fixed odds price market at 6pm Monday (alphabetical order same quote) So you have 1/2 fav 3/4 fav so on and so forth , will give every competitor in the comp a chance even if you first pick runs down the track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gruff 1,358 Report post Posted October 29, 2019 Another fav of mine Pick four horses and add their combined finishing positions... e.g You pick 1st 2nd 3rd and last ... 30 points And with ties countback goes to the best finishing positions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trump 1,956 Report post Posted October 30, 2019 Scooby, regarding my offer to “re-invest” my winnings into a comp. May I suggest this: A comp where on Derby Day at Flemington, participants get one pick in all races on the card. The entrant with the most “wins” gets my $ to bet on a horse in the MC. The winnings (If any) to go to the Thoroughbred related Charity of your (you Scooby) choice. If there’s a tie in the number of wins, then the count back will be on the number of G1 wins. If a further count back, then G2 wins. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
