well we got 35 entries for the Cheltenham one which I think is the most for a very long time! Quite a few new names too so there is obviously interest. I managed to get my head around the scoring by sticking everything on a spreadsheet and then putting the naps in red so I didn't miss them - and I think only one mistake made (well maybe people were too kind to comment!)

In the good old days, Diamond Geezer used to run the comps and do SPs as well which is way beyond my capabilities to work things out.

But I say see how many people are interested via here and devise how you want to run the other races? I did keep the bonus points down as I felt it was relatively easy to get a 25-1 winner but blooming difficult to get a 50-1 shot. Obv if you factor in SPs thats more favourable to pick bigger priced horses.
