RACE DATE FOR Week 15 IS SATURDAY 9th 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 placesShould 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 feature one of the Shegar Cup as it’s main race, little to choose between the lot of them but I’ve decided Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Mile (4.30 Ascot) is a little more valuable than the others.
The back-up race is also a nightmare this week, but going with Moatwood Gin Handicap 3.07 Newmarket if necessary.

If any of these were picked I will replace it with your reserve runner automatically.
If no reserve then I will just use whatever you have left and how it’s written.The winnings in the calculations are including their stake unit returned.
The place part of the EW bets are at quarter of the odds,
and only the place part of the bet used for placed horses.You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.AND THE WINNERS THIS WEEK ARE
Four of us had a scoring horse this week.
Leading the way with the winner was LANDAFAR and REFUSE TO BEND
Refuse To Bend just missed out on the forecast with the second placed horse as his reserve,
Landafar’s new score is his old score (+1,559.38) – stake (50*2) + winnings (253.12) = +1,712.50
Refuse To Bend’s new score is his old score (+134.38) – stake (50*2) + winnings (375) =+409.38
The other two ROBNORTH and STEVE 75 had a placed horse each.
Robnorth new score is his old score (+1,518.75) – stake (50*2) + winnings (200) = (+1618.75)
Steve 75 new score is his old score (+570.22) – stake (50*2) + winnings (38.75) = (+508.97)
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.
