Points as follows -
If your trainer pick wins or places in a race over the Royal Ascot meeting -
1st - 20 points (If a DH both will receive 10 points only)
2nd -10 points
3rd - 5 points
You will also receive double points from your pick from Group 5 (i.e if a Doug Warren horse places 2nd you will receive 10 x 2 = 20 points)
The winner will be the trainer who accumulates the most points over the meeting from their picks, if a tie it will be counted back on wins correct & if still a tie, 2nd places, 3rd etc. Judges (me) decision will be final.
