Neil’s Saturday Big Handicap Flat Season 2025 Week 14

[Red Rum 77]

RACE DATE FOR Week 14 IS SATURDAY 2nd AUGUST 2025

The races will be mostly race on the flat during the 2025 season, the maybe an occasional summer jump race. I will try and make the main race from TV (usually ITV’s racing) unless the no TV racing that week.
The season will run until the November Handicap (or when it’s due).

Rules are same as before.

RULES ARE

1 Everyone is welcome, just make an entry below.

2 Two different selections must be made, one win and one each way.

3 It is strongly suggested that reserves be made. Remember these will only come into effect if you have non runners, and also the order written.

4 Scores will be update weekly, (old score – stake + winnings = new score).
The stake will be either 0 points if no selections are left, 50 points for 1 runner, 100 points for both runners. Any winnings will include their stake unit back, like what you get back from a bookies.
Any amended results the first past the post counts, as well as the official winner. However only the official winner will count as part of the correct forecast.

5 Selections can be updated/ Amended before the off time of the race, but please make a new post. If you do then I will use the latest post only.

6 The each way part will be calculated at quarter odds.

7 Number of places I will use will be :

Handicaps of up to 20 runners, will be normal number of places.
Handicaps of 21 to 24 runners 5 places
Handicaps of 25 to 28 runners 6 places
Handicaps of 29+ runners 7 places

Should the be a non runner reducing the number of places, I will use the original number of runners in the field as stated in the morning papers.

8 A win selection will have a 50 point win on it
An each way selection will have a 25 point each way on it at quarter odds.
The will be a free forecast at 1 point, for those getting first and second (either way) which I will use racing post details for payout.
For fun I will keep a track on successful outsiders (whether it wins or placed)

9 An alternative race will be made at another venue, this should only be used if the main race venue gets cancelled. Sometimes it might be earlier than the original race so keep an eye on that.
This alternative race will only take place if the original race’s meeting is cancelled before the start of racing on the day.

This week’s race is Coral Stewards’ Cup 3.05 GOODWOOD

But after today’s deluge I’d better have a good back-up race and hope that

BoyleSports Handicap Hurdle 3.12 GALWAY

can provide that

I must admit that I’m appreciative of the followers on my competition. I respect Dfward’s decision to withdraw from Nathan’s Daylight Comp, as he has the right to not enter any comp. However I like entering comps and I may not back every single entry I make, I do pick them like I’m going to back them. It keeps the old grey matter ticking.

Anyway the table after last week looks like this.

1 LANDAFAR +1,659.38
2 ROBNORTH +1,618.75
3 DFWARD +974.81
4 NAWOO +840.63
5 STEVE 75 +345.22
6 REFUSE TO BEND +234.38
7 WYLDESYDE +50
8 NATHAN HUGHES -93.74
9 CORMACK15 -100
10 RED RUM 77 -250
11 MIKE 2084 -449.99
12 GREENASGRASS -512.50
13 RAYMO 61 -531.25
14 JOHN GOOCH -534.37
15 TRIPTYCH -562.75
16 VENTURE TO COGNAC -650
17 BIGG -925
18 EUROALIEN -1,053.12

Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.

NON RUNNER WAS Toca Madera

If this horse was picked by anyone it will automatically be replaced by your reserve horse.
If no reserve horse was picked then I will just use your other runner, as written.

All winnings have their stake unit returned.
The place part of the EW bets are at quarter of their odds,
and placed horses only have the placed part of the EW bet counting.

You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.
