NH BIG RACE COMP 2014/15 Race 8 - Welsh National

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 14 x SP
2nd place will get stake x 7 x SP
3rd place will get stake x 4 x SP
4th place will get stake x 2 x SP
and 5th place will get stake x 1 x SP


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.



Proposed race schedule: (I will always endeavour to find the most competitive race, and weather will play it's part, so the schedule may change at short notice)

If there has been a more open race than this I haven't seen it . Been keen on Monbeg Dude for a while but on closer scrutiny it's just about anyone's race. Borrowed a pin off Shane and came out with these two.

2nd year running close winner

charliet2 there's a half hour cut-off for posting selections.

Race 8 results and points allocations:

1. Emperor's Choice   9/1  x 14pts x stake
2. Benvolio  11/1  x 7pts x stake
3. Glenquest  33/1  x 4pts x stake
4. Monbeg Dude   8/1  x 2pts x stake
5. Benbens  10/1  x 1pts x stake

9/1 seems scant reward for getting the winner of such an open race but anyway congratulations to the four that had it for 2pts, Gorgeous George, Fastbearform, bluenose7 and myself
