    RACE DATE FOR Week 22 IS SATURDAY 27th SEPTEMBER 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.

    10 If you put your votes accidentally somewhere else, that’s no problem. Just let me know where it is and I will verify your selections. If valid I will count it, unless you’ve updated it in time.

    11 Alternative way to reach me is via e-mail. NSCRANN@YAHOO.com

    Main Race is Bet 365 Cambridgeshire 3.40 Newmarket

    Substitute race on standby (if needed) is Schweppes Trophy Handicap 3.10 Curragh

    THE TABLE AFTER LAST WEEK LOOKS LIKE

    1 Landafar + 2,137.50
    2 Robnorth + 1,288.54
    3 Steve75 + 368.27
    4 Wyldesyde + 288.55
    5 Refuse To Bend -115.62
    6 Nathan Hughes – 389.57
    7 Mike 2084 – 453.11
    8 Red Rum77 – 531.25
    9 Venture To Cognac – 900
    10 Raymo61 – 1,165.63
    11 Greenasgrass – 1,212.50
    12 John Gooch – 1,259.37
    13 Triptych – 1,290.87
    14 BigG – 1,637.50
    15 Euroalien – 1,653.12

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

    ***All EW bets are at quarter of the odds and placed horses are using just the place part of the EW bet.

    THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ARE

    This week the are six of us, with three of us finding the winner. But it’s EUROALIEN who this week found the best price at a massive 50/1 (DUTCH DECOY in fifth). That’ll take some beating. :heart:

    EUROALIEN’s new score is (old score (-1653.12) – stake unit (50*2) + winnings (337.50)) = -1,415.62 points

    LANDAFAR, TRIPTYCH and GREENASGRASS all scored handsomely with this week’s winners. Well done guys :good:

    LANDAFAR’s new score is (old score (+2137.50) – stake unit (50*2) + winnings (750)) = +2,787.50 points

    TRIPTYCH’s new score is (old score (-1290.87) – stake unit (50*2) + winnings (750)) = -640.87 points

    GREENASGRASS’s new score is (old score (-1212.50) – stake unit (50*2) + winnings (487.50)) = -825 points

    The other two scorers WYLDESYDE and RAYMO61 had the runner up Indalo which just missed out by a nose.

    WYLDESYDE’s new score is (old score (+288.55) – stake unit (50*2) + winnings (150) = +338.55 points

    RAYMO61’s new score is (old score (-1165.63) – stake unit (50*2) + winnings (150)) = -1,115.63 points

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