The competition closes today (Wednesday 29th), so this is the last opportunity to

- use any money remaining in your bank

and

- choose the 10 horses or less to make up your final portfolio


There are two prizes. The main prize of £150 will be for the person whose portfolio of bets wins the most money, while the other prize, of £50, is for the portfolio with the highest notional value at midnight tonight.

12. The winner of the main prize will be the person whose final portfolio of bets generates the highest winnings. Bets will be settled according to normal ante post rules, but only the winnings will be counted.

13. The secondary prize will go to the portfolio which on 29 Feb has the highest 'notional value'. This is the total sum one would need to wager, taking the best available odds on 29 Feb, to achieve the same potential winnings of each of the bets in the portfolio. (In simpler terms, bets on horses whose odds shorten gain value, while bets on drifters lose value).


The winner of the latter prize will be announced in the next couple of days.
 
Thanks very much. Great competition. Presumably I don't have to do anything as my portfolio only contains 9.
 
Correct, Simon.

By the way I was getting my dates in a muddle. Tomorrow is the last day.
 
I'll leave my final 10 until tomorrow (Wednesday) in case there is a clearer update on Fingal Bay, but am really resigned to him not running or not doing himself justice.
 
If I am allowed to use the last £500 I'll have:-

£500 Sivola De Sivola (Pertemps Final) 8/1 Coral

Don 't think I picked more than ten so stuck with what I've picked

Thanks, Steve.

Please put everything on the February thread. The idea of this one was just to remind people of the deadline.
