    Saturday 1st May

    Rules

    1 It’s still open to everyone, just pop your selections on the relevant thread. IE this one. :good:

    2 You’ve have one win selection and one each way selection.

    3 Reserves are advised as many as you like, but will only be used if your main selection doesn’t run and in the order written if multiple.

    4 The competition is a little shorter (20 weeks), however things happen in life so will count those with a minimum of 13 weeks. Those with less will go into a sub list.

    5 Each Way will be quarter odds

    6 Places will be the equivalent to Bookmakers standards for up to 20 runners;
    that 2 for 5 to 7;
    3 for 8 to 15;
    4 for 16 to 20.
    However for races with 21 to 24 I’m going 5 places, 25 to 28 6 places : anything above that 7 places. :good:

    7 For any runner which is left in the stall or refuses to race, I will count as a non runner but will keep the better place terms.

    IE if 21 runners are down at start, but for some reason one doesn’t run leaving 20 runners I’ll still count the placings as 21 runners meaning 5 places still count. :good:

    Will check on either ITV Racing or Racing Post website.

    8 I’ll be picking my races on Thursday night or Friday morning (small hours) so weather might interfere so I’ll make 2 races at different venues. One will be All Weather if such a meeting is on. I’ll do my best to keep to the better races but it’s not guarantee. If both are cancelled then I’m sorry but I work most Saturday afternoons so won’t be able to make any further alterations. The second race is only used if the first race get cancelled. Unless last minute reasons like 1993 Grand National. :good:

    9 You’ve got until race time to send your tips in. If main race meeting doesn’t pass inspection, the alternate race might be earlier so keep a eye on that. :mail:

    10 I’m upping the stakes to 20 points win, each way 10 points these will be the main points, but for those getting first and second with either selections I will be adding in bonus points of whatever the C.S.F pays.
    So each race has 42 points staked. B-)

    11 If for any reason you change your mind, as long as it’s before race time then that’s fine but no editing please, just make a new post. I will only count your last post if one is made.

    12 Any trouble posting then send me a private message :good:

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

    The Staffordshire Plate at Uttoxeter (a class 2) would have been a test, seeing as this was a jumps season competition. However, the handicap hurdle you have chosen is a great choice. I say great, I’ve looked at the list, and it looks to be the hardest race to assess all season!

    Win: Goodbye Someday
    E/w: Bleu Berry
    Res: Sayo

    Yes, I am mad, opposing Willie with my win selection!
