Neil’s Weekend Handicap : Season 5 : Week 3

[Red Rum 77]

Date Saturday May 20th 2023

Hi there, welcome to the Saturday handicap competition. I’ll just go through the rules

1 If you want to enter then just put your selections down on this thread.

2 You must select 2 different horses, one win and one each way, before the race time.

3 It’s up to you, but you can have as many substitutes as you like. Remember these only come into play if you have any non runners. They will be used in the order written.

4 You can alter your selection(s) if you wish, so long as the race has not ran. I will only use your last lot of selections.

5 For the Each Way part all places will be at quarter the odds, regardless what the bookies do.

6 Number of places are as follows

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 any late non runners which reduce the number of places, ie 21 runners reduce to 20 runners I will still count the higher number of places.

Late non runners will be anything down in the morning papers which don’t run.

7 The win selection will have 50 points on it.
The Each Way selection will have 25 points (EW) on it.

A total of 100 points stake for both selections, or 50 points for one.

A free forecast will be awarded to those who get first and second.

All winnings include their stakes returned.
