Okay, here we go. It's that time again.

We'll just be concentrating on the group 1 races in Melbourne & Sydney until the end of April and you have to try to pick the first 4 horses in order. If you manage to do that you get a perfect score of 100 points, with progressively lower scores all the way down to zero if you don't get a single horse in the first 4. At the end of the autumn, the one with the most points is the winner. Here's the points system:

Points:
30 - Winner in top 4 picks
15 - 2nd horse in top 4 picks
10 - 3rd horse in top 4 picks
5 - 4th horse in top 4 picks

Bonus points:
10 - Winner rated on top
10 - Trifecta in order
10 - First 4 in order
10 - First 4 boxed in top 4 picks

And here's the first group one race of the season.....
