    Dunno, thinking maybe we could do a sweepstake – £5 per horse and split pot with 50% going to one of maybe MacMillan or other?

    We’ve got 44 runners (unless there have been any drop-outs already) so £220 with £110 to charity and rest say…£60, £30, £15 & £15 for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.

    Any other way to do it other than sending money via PayPal gift? ( 🙂 ) and divvying it out afterwards?

    Anyway, if it’s s goer and we get 44 interested, I’ll sort it out this evening when I’m home. You’ll just have to take my word that the horse draw is independently adjudicated. 😀

    So long as it’s got 4 legs on the start line and a little chap on top, put me down for one.

    Right, that’s five, assuming Houns isn’t buying one. 🙂

    If “On His Own” doesn’t come out for jamba, I’m cancelling the whole thing.

    EDIT: As it’s gift, there won’t be any fees for PP to collect will there?

    Two for me dd.
    I had to sack the click sergeant door knocker off last night so more than happy for my likely tenner to go in to the charity pot.
    Also paid by the way.
    Never ppg’d before so let me know if you got it 😀

    Where we at darcy? Have a mate who isn’t stw but will probably chuck in if we need some more. And plaudits were plaudits due, great idea, and a great way to get stuff in to a charity. Top work fella

    We could always aim for 22 sales. 2 horses each and Halve each prize?

    I was thinking that jaylittle – can’t see this getting to 44 by tomorrow’s race. I will do an initial draw in the morning once we’ve sorted out who’s in by tonight. Maybe if there are some tasty ones left in the pot, that might tempt some of the STW reluctant punters.

    Are we definitely not allowed in if we only want to bet on how many willing participants animals die then?

    You can stick a fiver in. If your horse dies, you get your money back. How’s that sound?

    EDIT: minus your donation to charity.

    At the start of this thread I nearly mentioned the nay sayers of racing. Anyhoo let’s not let them derail a possible 100 sheets going to charity.

    Some may prefer several not dead horses over £100 going to charity.

    Horses for courses, tho.

    Why is my name not on the list DD. I’ve sent the cash via PPG.
