    Jump Season 2025 to 26

    Welcome to a new season of Big Handicaps. Can anyone surpass Landafar’s total from the previous competition, will be fun in trying. Anyway we’re all reset to zero and all are welcome to partake.

    The rules are simple

    1 To enter 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.
    Only the placed part of your EW bet will count if the selection is placed.

    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 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.

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

    11 The main race will be a televised race (if possible). Mostly jump racing, but the may be occasional flat racing.

    12 Substitute races will be added in either Friday night if weather looks unpredictable. This is just in case the main race is cancelled.

    THIS COMPETITION WILL RUN UNTIL SANDOWN GOLD CUP (or when it’s due in late April)

    Reserve ; Coming Up Easy

    Backing two runners is the relentless pursuit of value. Backing each way is a shortcut to the poor house. Only 7% make a long term profit.
