It's back for the 6th year, the most prestigious NH comp on the net, well this little part of the net anyway :)
Starting next week..............NH BIG RACE COMP 2009/10 :)
Everyone is welcome to join in, there are no prizes, it's just for forum kudos and hopefully some fun :)

The first race will be the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham, Saturday week (14 Nov), followed quickly by the Greatwood Hurdle the following day.
There will then be a round every week (weather permitting) for approx 30 races, the last one should be the Betfred in April.
See the full list of proposed races below.
The Rules:
The competition will cover 30 (or so) of the most competitive races of the NH season.
A thread on which selections can be posted will be put up a couple of days before the race and selections can be made up to 1/2hr before race time.
Players are given 2 stake points per race.
Players can use the 2pts on 1 selection or share the 2pts between 2 selections, 1pt each.
Points will be awarded based on each selections finishing position down to 5th place.
Results will be settled at SP.
1st place will get stake x 10 x price
2nd place will get stake x 5 x price
3rd place will get stake x 3 x price
4th place will get stake x 2 x price
and 5th place will get stake x 1 x price
Non-runners:
If you choose one selection, please nominate a reserve just in case of late withdrawal.
If you choose two selections and one is a non-runner, your 2pts will go on the remaining selection, unless you left a reserve.
In either case you can replace a non-runner as normal up to the 1/2hr cut-off time.
If you make a selection with no reserve, and it doesn't run, your 2pts will go on the favourite (in case of jt or co favs then the 2pts will go on the one which is highest in the hcap)
In the event of dispute, my decision will be final.
Anyone welcome to join at any time.

Champ in waiting :) i love this one

Anyone think the King George doesn't really fit in with the rest of the comp races ?:|. Would prefer the PP H'Cap Chase @ Leopardstown myself......
|
|
By:
Also, the Boylesports GC H'Cap Chase instead of the Bula
|
|
By:
Who mentioned Bula???
As for the King George or the PP chase I'm open to requests, what day is the PP please Deep? |
|
By:
Sorry ud, thought Boylesports.com International - Cheltenham 12 Dec was the new name for the Bula
PP Chase is on 27th Dec - could be problematic as it clashes with Welsh National. Happy to go along with wahtever you decide, just prefer handicaps to graded races |
|
By:
Thanks Deep, yes the King George is just about the only non-hcap isn't it, I guess I keep it in because it's always been there. If the PP is on the 27th then I wouldn't want to have 2 races on the same day, perhaps we'll leave it as it is.

By:
Deep, I'm sorry, I got confused about the Bula, I was convinced I had put the Gold Cup Chase, not the International, I'll change it for the first thread, cheers.

By:
Yes, ud - KG stuck out like a sore thumb, no worries about PP Chase - it would be pretty chaotic. Cheers :).
