RACE DATE IS SATURDAY 17th 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 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.MAIN RACE IS Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap (Heritage Handicap) 2.00 NEWBURY
The reserve race (if needed is) Troytown Bar Handicap 4.25 NAVAN

Don't mess with mister in between.THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ARE
In a word plenty
TRIPTYYCH and ROBNORTH takes the top spot this week, by filling both places.
Triptych did this because her reserve filled in for her non runner, (lucky
)Robnorth in the words of Britney Spears (Oops, I did it again) had win and third spot, and reserve was second.
Points won by Triptych comes from The Winner (187.50) + second (112.50) + Forecast (43.31) = 343.31 pts
Points won by Robnorth comes from The Winner (187.50) + Third (162.50) = 350 pts.
New score of Triptych is old score (-200) – stake (50 x 2) + winnings (343.31) which equals +43.31 pts
New score of Robnorth is old score (+962.50) – stake (50 x 2) + winnings (350) which equals +1,212.50
The winner was also selected by DFWARD, MIKE 2084, GREENASGRASS, STEVE 75 and myself.
New score of Dfward is old score (-153.12) – stake (50 x 2) + winnings (187.50) which equals -65.62 pts
New score of Mike 2084 is old score (-140.62) – stake (50 x 2) + winnings (187.50) which equals -53.12 pts
New score of Greenasgrass is old score (-100) – stake (50 x 2) + winnings (187.50) which equals -12.50
New score of Steve 75 is old score (+670.22) – stake (50 x 2) + winnings (187.50) which equals +757.72 pts
New score of Red Rum 77 is old score (-62.50) – stake (50 x 2) + winnings (187.50) which equals +25 pts
REFUSE TO BEND joins the party by finding a placed horse.
New score of Refuse To Bend is old score (-200) – stake (50 x 2) + winnings (112.50) which equals -187.50 pts
WYLDESYDE was unlucky to have the non runner and no reserve to fill in.
New score of Wyldesyde is old score (-200) – stake (50 x 1) + winnings (Nil) which equals -250
