Great turnout. What about a prize for coming last instead of paying top 4? Maybe top 3 and last

I typed out this exact suggestion but my only thought is we get to send our selections in day by day, so a bit more in your control if you're at the bottom going into day four. You just back the outsiders in every race and if one binks you might get a top three. Suppose no one is THAT nitty to be going there, right? Maybe the size of the field will stop someone getting enough points on day four, too?

Alternative is a random number, drawn at the start but kept hidden until after the close of play.

Some people would have a huge edge at coming last.

Do you have a functioning Boylesports account?

Dubai on the defensive, I see.

You've no chance of coming last, Eso has that booked.

PS - I actually like the idea. Might make for some interesting selections for those in bad shape on Day 4......
I will have you know I already have 2nd (or The Deadman as we now call it) locked up thank you very much!

Could be funny if someone picks 100/1 winner trying to come last and ends up winning

No. I'm not sure if that was a serious question or I've been whoooooshed.

My apologies Methuselah, the question should have been directed at our Fashion and Dogging correspondent.

I'm happy to go with a last place prize (instead of fourth) if the ayes outweigh the nays.
I'll make a decision at midday tomorrow depending on feedback.

I can't help thinking that it's going to end in tears when that 100/1 outsider comes in.

Incidentally, Mr. Dubai, sir, I've assumed that all your selections are "win only". That would obviously be the baller option.
