Saving your picks with Selections

How-toall plansnew

Selections is your personal slip: tick the horses you fancy on any racecard, save the group with an optional comment, and look back on how they ran.

Selections lets you keep a record of the horses you like for the day, separate from your three NAP Competition picks. Every member can use it, including Free members.

Picking horses

  1. Open any of today's racecards and click a runner's row, the tick appears in its Select box. Click again to untick. (Clicking the horse, jockey, trainer or sire name opens their history page instead, so use the other cells.)
  2. The Select button at the top of the racecard counts your picks as you go.
  3. Click Select to open your slip. It lists your horses with the time and course, the odds and, for Premium and Professional members, each horse's RTR Rank. Add a comment if you want to note your thinking.
  4. Press Submit to save the group. You can carry on picking across different races and meetings before submitting.

The Selections slip: each pick with RTR Rank, a Back or Lay switch, a Current or XSP settle option and a remove button, plus a comment box and the Submit and download buttons

Adding more horses after you've already submitted creates a new selection group, the app will ask you to confirm first.

Back or lay, and how it settles

Every member can treat each pick as a back or a lay, right there in the slip. A lay wins when the horse doesn't, and loses if it does, the exact mirror of a back. The All switch in the column header flips every row at once.

You also choose what price each pick settles at:

  • Current: the price frozen at the moment you picked the horse.
  • XSP: the exchange Starting Price, worked out after the race.

An All switch sets every row together here too. See XSP explained for what the exchange SP is.

RTR Rank and removing a pick

Premium and Professional members see each horse's RTR Rank in the slip, so you can weigh your picks against the ratings without leaving the dialog. Every member also gets a remove button on each row: it drops that pick and unticks it on the card in one go, with no need to close the dialog and hunt for the row.

If you add horses from a ProStats system, the slip also shows an Added Via column naming the system that added each one.

Your selections page

The My selections page (also linked from the My NAPs & Selections widget on your dashboard) lists every group you've saved by date, with your comment and how each horse got on, including whether each pick was a back or a lay. A Back / Lay / All switch filters the view, and the dashboard's Selection Stats tab totals up your winners, P/L and ROI, with a Lay option alongside Win and Place.

Downloads

Premium and Pro members can download any selection group as a spreadsheet, ordered By Time or By Course, handy for a day at the races or your own records.

Selections are picks for races that haven't started. If a race goes off while a horse is still sitting unsubmitted in your slip, it's removed automatically and the app lets you know.
