New Posts For Thread: How Does The Ballot Work?https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31718945/how-does-the-ballot-workDoes anyone know how the ballot work for the Stewards' Cup?I presume it's based on ratings (including with penalties). In the current list Bickerstaffe is down as horse 40 because his WFA allowance pushes him down. But his rating of 96 gets him a runThank you very much, that's a great answer.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31718945/how-does-the-ballot-work?post_id=561249971#561249971Thank you very much, that's a great answer.Tue, 27 Jul 2021 03:42:47 -0500It's purely down to weight, the rating doesn't come into it. Where horses have the same weight, they do a ballot to decide the order as and when the weights are published. It's 'unfair' to 3-y-olds, but they do have their own program of races limitedhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31718945/how-does-the-ballot-work?post_id=561249959#561249959It's purely down to weight, the rating doesn't come into it.
