The Sentinel Celts Generous Benefactor Stakes
New Naps Competition
Starts on July 4,with a slightly different format and some VERY GENEROUS PRIZE MONEY,courtesy of…a generous benefactor!!!
Selections from UK and Ireland meetings ONLY on the applicable Saturday. A non-runner can be replaced with a selection on the Sunday.
ALL selections must be entered before the first race of the day.
Points will be decided as before. An imaginary £1 stake,and winnings credited to your running total.
Competition will run for forty weeks-which means,I think that it ends on April 10-Grand National Day.
After 20 weeks,the entrants will split into two groups,Premier League and Championship,based on standings at that stage.
Prizes are as follows.
Premier League Winner-£100
Runner up-£50
Championship Winner-£30
Runner up-£10
***
Additionally,there will be separate competitions for The Cheltenham Festival and for The Grand National Meeting,each with a first prize of £30.
And the Brucie Bonus of an extra £50 will be available for the spawny git who manages the treble!
So that’s £300 to play for next season,which is more than the SFA have managed to get in sponsorship for the Scottish Cup. Might be worth investing in Timeform,I reckon…
PS-there will also be a Royal Ascot competition. Prizes as follows…
1st…..£30free bet
2nd…£15 free bet
3rd……£5 free bet
I’m trying to enter the naps competition—where do I do it?

TWISTSNTURNS
You kidding? Gratitude is ours,mucker! Really really grateful to you for this.
And it’s not just the financial input,which is outstanding of course. It’s the time and effort too,so don’t be shy if you want or need a week or whatever off from it.
Btw,I somehow managed to put my link to this page at the top of the new article. I’m impressed. I’ll be even more impressed when I figure out how I did it.
PS-the First Race rule will catch some people out. But I agree with you-the rules have been up for more than a week now. No excuses.
Ill try English king in the Derby
Good luck all HH
Bobby
The first race rule
It’s just to ensure fairness as we reach the end of the comp. I wouldn’t think we have any unscrupulous types but don’t want to leave the door open for someone to post neAring the last race of the day after working out what odds they need.
As I say – unlikely – but could be a ringer or two in the comp. There’s a lot of suspicion for example around this Jimmy not Paul guy.
Jimmy Millar? Jim Baxter? I rest my case m’lud.
Bobby
ATOB has placed a £10 win forecast on CCB and Bobby for a 1-2. I’ve given her 100/1. ?
Right, breakfast time ….
TWISTSNTURNS
COSYCORNERBHOY is notoriously late with his selections. I’ll text him to remind him of the new rules.
Btw,I’m quite confident about my nap today. Might large it.

Yo,bud.
Good luck with it. Mine is KAMEKO. The post you noticed is me putting up RAYMAC’s selection as he posted it on the other article.
Hey,we have 40 weeks to get used to it!
Btw,the new system is because of a wee tale I told TWISTSNTURNS. Twice I was in with a shout on the last day of the CQN Naps competition. Second each time. Once was against you,the other was against PF AYR. As luck would have it,we were on a mini-hoot on the last day and the first question he asked when I met him on the train to Glasgow was-have you picked yer horse yet?
I think I was £1.30 behind him,so I said naw. Waiting for yours to lose and looking for a three to one on shot. Should be one at Worcester tonight.
You really don’t want to light the blue touchpaper on the big fella. And it hadn’t occurred to me-until he asked! He was livid. Against the spirit of the competition,etc. I picked mine before I left the house.
Etc.
I kept this charade up for a while,rules is rules. Arrived at the Blane Valley and told him I was nipping into Coral to check the prices. Not the form,btw-that nearly flipped him over the edge!
He must have seriously considered spitting in my pint before I returned,or worse. But fair play,there it was,all shining bright and pristine. At that time I only had my old Nokia-still got it!-so asked him to check the progress on the entries for the day.
Ooooops,he hadn’t noticed that I’d posted mine before him. Of course it got beat. PF was a worthy winner-I’d fluked a 25/1 National winner.
Tony McCoy won at Worcester later at 4/6. And that’s why the new rules are the rules.
