    Who are the candidates for the judges?

    Assuming we are going for 4 selection acca, maybe 2 judges picking 2 horses each?

    1 Acca for each 4 days?
    or/and
    1 acca for all races?

      I think we should do a Yankee with one horse each day.

      We can have a bit of banter and anyone can nominate a horse and make their case for it but we will need a judge who has the final pick for for each day.

      I would go with:

      Tuesday: Love Racing
      Wednesday: Old Vic
      Thursday: Paz
      Friday: MrMcGoldrick

        Mayo I dont think I should be a judge. You can go in instead of me.

        Like the idea. We need a timetable. I think we should make minimum price of the selection say 8/1 ?

            Thanks guys. You just gave me the hardest day of the Fest to beat the favourites.

            I think it should be 1 horse per day per judge lol.

            • Judges need to submit the selections at *pm the day before the race or *am on the day incase of any non runners?

              • Maybe we could do one to cover the four days, then one each day to include that days main pick, that way we keep the main bet selections alive for the four days even if the first ones lose

                  .
                  Loads of nice bets on Tuesday

                  Lets try the one horse per judge thing - need buy in from the other guys and threads for horse nominations. Timetable ?

                  I think we could throw that wide open and just have a general tipping comp with one horse per day.

                  Ill try and set out some rules for a few tipping contests tomorrow.

                          Yes. 1 to cover the whole fest is good, basically 4 best of the best picks.

                          Shall we first vote which races for each day? I think its pointless with Arkle selections and maybe Mares if AP runs.

                          Any other races to avoid?

                          • So would the judge's job be to select from the nominations of others, I'm guessing that's how it would work
