Entrants will need to make a selection for each of the 10 races and send these on the day by e mail (info@northernracingclub.com); text to 07984 295327; or post to NRC at 53 Dalebrook Rd, Sale, M33 3LB (to arrive by the day of the race concerned)

The winning entry will be the one with the aggregate highest points total at the end of the competition.

In the event that no selection is made no points will be scored - however if a non runner is selected then the favourite will be used as the alternate selection (if joint favourites the lowest racecard number will prevail)

Multiple entries are acceptable although these must be numbered entry one, entry two etc so that they can be coupled with subsequent selections.

The entry fee is £5 (payable to Northern Racing Club) and the prize money will be awarded as follows:

Prize fund up to £125 - winner takes all

Prize fund £130-£200 - winner 75%; second 25%

As usual the results will be updated via the club's Yahoo web site and in Racin.
