I have to voice dismay
one day meeting 23 runners podium places for top 10 five day meeting 43 runners podium places for top 10 ! This devalues the podium comp imo & makes it worthless. Just my opinion of course for what its worth I would like to see what other regulars think tbh. Someone winning a one day comp with 50 points gets 10 podium points someone winning a five day comp with 300 points gets 10 podium points Cannot be right imo. |

Only 15 regulars stayed the course all year, out of 113 players. |

Thats ok
fifteen more than enough for a census  |

By:
Just cannot see the reasoning for giving someone 10 podium points
for one day meetings, |

comp20 3 days 48 ran ... top 12 would now be same
would be top 15 if over 45 turned up. |

By:
comp22 4 days 44 ran ... top 12 would now be same
would only be top 10 if 44 turned up |

By:
My main gripe is NO one day comp should have a top 10 podium finish,
I agree the others make a negligible difference. Or get rid of all one day comps |
|
By:
just been called for dinner - back later

|
By:
what if you keep the top 10 for a one-dayer and make the festivals ( 3/4 day or more top 20 ) ?
there was one 1-dayer which didn't seem worthy of being included. but I've forgotten which one  |
|
By:
C-C - 3 meetings have already been scrapped :
BRIGADIER STAKES evening meeting. CRAVEN STAKES MEETING - it interrupts the jumps season. SWEET SOLERA STAKES MEETING - no real interest last year. this leaves 15 flat and 15 jump meetings. |

good move

The King George meeting competition will run for 2 days in January.
The next comp. will be over 3 weeks with 3 x one dayers, for ONE TOTAL SCORE, for 10 podium places.  If people fack off after week one or two that's hard luck on them. (last years dates - but they are 3 consecutive weeks) COMPETITION 1 13th February....NEWBURY - TOTESPORT GOLD TROPHY MEETING 20th February....ASCOT - BETFAIR CHASE MEETING 27th February....KEMPTON - RACING POST CHASE MEETING Total score taken over 3 days for 10 podium places ============================================================ COMPETITION 2 over 2 days NEWBURY - TOTESPORT GOLD CUP MEETING COMPETITION 3 over 4 days Cheltenham Festival COMPETITION 4 over 2 day up to 45 runners for 10 places UTTOXETER - MIDLANDS GRAND NATIONAL MEETING All the rest are 2, 3, 4 or 5 day meetings. |

COMPETITION 4
over ONE day up to 45 runners for 10 places UTTOXETER - MIDLANDS GRAND NATIONAL MEETING All the rest are 2, 3, 4 or 5 day meetings. |
|
By:
A fair compromise with the three in one
I would drop the midlands national though [;)] |
|
By:
If there is 81 runners for the festival
I will be taking a break in deepest Madagascar. |

I think the podium comp is better than the total points comp as its about the quality of
your selections where total points is as much about quantity than anything else. That's after Jamie won the points comp so no biased view from me on that score. |

It's nice having both as you get 2 bites of the cherry

SUPER KNIGHT HAS A BIG FUTURE
By Wayne Hutchinson I will start off this week's review with the impressive Knight Pass, who won the bumper at Southwell on Wednesday. He is a horse I have liked at home and he has shown a lot and obviously won well first time at Sandown. He gave me a fantastic feel this time and I am sure on the back of this win Warren (Greatrex) will try and find a Listed bumper for him to run in and then maybe look towards Cheltenham in March as the long-term goal. He is very professional for a four-year-old and he has a bright future. I think he would have the class for a Cheltenham bumper as he stays, has a gear or two and his biggest asset is he has a great attitude for a young horse. He put the race to bed at Southwell in a couple of strides and I could not speak highly enough of the horse. He has carried on to the track everything that he has shown at home. Lord Liath ran well when second at Exeter on New Year's Day and probably bumped into a good one in Filbert. He keeps improving mentally and it should not be long before he goes and wins his novice. The first three were well clear of the remainder and the form should hold up well. Gentle Bob was 66/1 in his race on the same card and he ran well for a horse at a long price. The track suited him and it was one of the races where stamina kicked into play and he looks a typical three-mile chaser for next year. He is still learning his job, was green at the business end and will be better for seeing a fence. Salden Licht won the two-mile handicap hurdle under top weight and he gave me a great feel. He never came out of second gear to be honest and he did it as he liked being the class horse in the race. I think the next stop will be the totesport Trophy at Newbury - he has gone up 10 pounds for that win but is a classy individual that carries over from the Flat. I am sure he will be contesting all the top two-mile handicaps. Bardolf was fourth in the closing bumper and he remains a backward individual still learning his job. He is slow and will be better for seeing a hurdle and stepping up in trip - he looks one for handicaps later on down the line. I was at Hereford on Monday and second on board Dineur for owner Harry Mould. He is quite a nice horse but runs off his nerves and panics so is going to need to learn to settle to show his true colours. I am sure that will come in time but he clearly has ability to finish both his outings this season having been very keen early on. Maybe a hurdle will settle him in time and we just need to keep a lid on him. |
