Fancy yourself as a horse racing tipster? Pat’s NAPs is your chance to put your racing knowledge to the test with a free-to-play game for Doncaster’s St Leger Festival.
With prizes up for grabs every day, there’s every reason to get involved as four fantastic days of world-class racing take centre stage at Town Moor.
Getting involved couldn’t be easier. Simply click the link on this page and you’ll be taken straight to Pat’s NAPs, where you can register and start making your selections for Doncaster. There’s plenty to play for too, with a £100 Deliveroo voucher going to the overall winner, plus a £25 daily prize up for grabs. It’s free to enter, so you’ve got nothing to lose.
Newly introduced for Doncaster is The Syndicate Stakes. Become part of a mini league, with a minimum of five players and if your mini league defeats all the others then you win £150 cash. All you need is the best average per player of all the qualifying mini leagues, and you get to share the money between them. However, you must have your mini league sorted before the day 2 deadline.
How To Play Pat’s NAPs
Picking your selections each day with Pat’s NAPs couldn’t be simpler. Once you’ve entered a competition, you’ll find the full list of that day’s races under the “Enter Picks” tab, where you can choose your horse for every race.
To make things even easier, we’ve put together a simple step-by-step guide below, taking you through everything from signing up to submitting your selections.
- Sign up for a Pat’s NAPs account: Using your name and email address, fill in your key details to begin creating your Pat’s NAPs account. This is free to do and takes only a few seconds.
- Join the St Leger Festival competition: Click “Join Now” on the St Leger Festival competition
- Choose your picks: Once you have joined, click the “Enter picks” tab to begin selecting your horses each day.
- Pick one horse per race: Pick one horse in each race per day of the competition.
- Select backups: If you wish to select a backup horse in the case of a non-runner, you can do so at the bottom of each race. This will default to the favourite if your horse does not run.
- Pick a NAP: You can select a NAP selection each day by clicking the star icon at the top right of the page. This selection will be worth double points should it win.
Once you have followed these steps, you will have a complete set of selections as shown below.
How the Scoring Works
The scoring in Pat’s NAPs is straightforward to follow. Let’s say you pick a selection at 2/1 in a race and it wins. That earns you 2 points on the leaderboard. If you selected that horse as your “NAP, you get twice the points, meaning it would earn you 4 points.
There is a points cap applied for outsiders at 16 points. Therefore, if you pick a winner at 20/1 (congratulations!), you will still only earn 16 points. This is also the case for NAPs: if you pick a 10/1 winning NAP, you can still only earn 16 points rather than 20. The table below shows you how the scoring works in summary.
Mini Leagues
If you wish to, you can create your own mini league between your friends and family. The winner’s prize in Pat’s NAPs goes only to the overall champion, but for those creating their own mini leagues, the spoils can be arranged among yourselves!
The Syndicate Stakes gives you the chance to win £150 cash in your mini league. Just simply join up with at least four friends to make a team of five, and if you top the mini league table then you can share the money. However, you need to join by the start of day 2 to qualify for the prize.
Prizes
The winner of the St Leger Festival tipping game with Pat’s NAPs will win a £100 Deliveroo voucher, whilst there are daily prizes of £25 in Deliveroo vouchers up for grabs. So, even if you miss day 1, you can still play for the rest of the week and try and win the daily prize. The Syndicate Stakes also allows you to win £150 cash for the best mini league.
