Race 3 - Stan James.com Stakes (Handicap) - 2.05 pm Newmarket Sunday 2 May

Cut-off time for selections - 1.35 pm Sunday


HERITAGE HANDICAP CHALLENGE 2010

The competition will cover 25 (or so) of the biggest Heritage Handicaps of the flat 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 6th place.
Results will be settled at SP.

1st place will get stake x 12 x SP
2nd place will get stake x 6 x SP
3rd place will get stake x 4 x SP
4th place will get stake x 3 x SP
5th place will get stake x 2 x SP
and 6th place will get stake x 1 x SP

Non-runners:
If you choose one selection, please feel free to 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.
In either case you can replace a non-runner as normal up to the 1/2hr cut-off time.
If you make a selection and it doesn't run and you haven't covered it with a reserve, 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).

Anyone welcome to join at any time.

madhatter-no need for a verbal assault :-( , I'm simply finding it too confusing at present. I have a few Saturday's coming up when I will need to post mid-week for holidays, then the forum moves onto a new platform on Tuesday which will lose all the competition archives. For me, it's an opportune time to call it a day, not for someone to make a snide jibe about running it myself which wasn't the point.

if your name is missing you either got 0 points and i have missed you off or you picked wrong race

check your points as mistakes will happen as i am new to this

next race is chester cup on wednesday but as betfair are migrating to a new forum

we will have to give that a miss as it will be a nightmare to do
