    RACE DATE IS SATURDAY 10th MAY 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.

    MAIN RACE IS Schweppes Victoria Cup (Heritage Handicap) 2.40 ASCOT

    THE SUBSTITUTE RACE IS 2.00 NAAS Danny Trundle Heating & Plumbing Handicap

    THE TABLE AFTER WEEK 1 LOOKS LIKE

    1 ROBNORTH +325
    Jt 2 DFWARD -53.12
    Jt 2 EUROALIEN -53.12
    Jt 2 LANDAFAR -53.12
    Jt 5 JOHN GOOCH -100
    Jt 5 MIKE 2084 -100
    Jt 5 NATHAN HUGHES -100
    Jt 5 RAYMO 61 -100
    Jt 5 RED RUM 77 -100
    Jt 5 REFUSE TO BEND -100
    Jt 5 STEVE 75 -100
    Jt 5 TRIPTYCH -100
    Jt 5 WYLDESYDE -100

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