I can't believe this is the 6th year doing this version of this! The 6th annual Dubai Carnival Contest is officially open. The carnival starts tomorrow and there are 16 race dates like last year according to this (Pat may be able to confirm this!)
Competition Roll of Honour
2012 - The Bart
2011 - Jaripeo
2010 - ryonker1
2009 - No Chance To Dance
2008 - Jairpeo
Same Rules as last year (again unless someone suggests any improvements?):
- 2 selections per race with an alternate pick in case of a scratch
- $40 win on the first horse and a $5 exacta box on the 2 selected horses so a total of $50 per race
- Mark your best bet of the day (Nap) and that horse's stake is doubled.
- All returns settled at UK Industry Odds and only the thoroughbred races count!
- Like previous years, Super Saturday (previously Super Thursday!) points will be doubled and World Cup Night points trebled so at least there is still something to play for up until the end of the carnival.
- The person with the highest return over the period wins and dont worry if you miss a week or two, ye are all welcome, we have seen a drop in numbers the last two years so I am hoping we can increase the number of participants!

If anyone else has queries, questions for me etc etc, just let me know - I'm all ears. And just a world of warning I may not have the first round results up as I am still on my round the world trip but will be back to normality and reality from next week
