Spot the Line

Aintree, photo finish. Where does the line fall?

About this competition

Spot the Line Same engine as Spot the Ball, a different sport and a different answer. Aintree is ten miles from where the Pools began.

How it works: A real photo-finish strip with the line erased. Read the rail markings, the post's shadow and the judge's mirror, then mark where the line crosses the frame.

The original frame is published the moment entries close.

The important bits

How the winner is decided
