FLAT BIG RACE COMP – Race 21 - 32RED Casino Haydock, 3.30 Sat 3rd Sept

The Rules:

The competition will cover 30 or so of the most competitive races 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 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.

It could be said Duke because I am 'Strange' in my ways
but actually I am just trying to follow an old traditionally worn path
and maintain a bit of consistency, not always easy in the modern instant day world of last minute change

Whilst not one race exists from Ascot, the Old Borough Cup is listed, and has been the major handicap on this day for past 10 or 20 years

I try to give folks on here an indication of whats upcoming and what they may recognise, race names and values change very late in the day these days 

hope that helps explain my illogical logic

Earl.E.Byrds good connection pays big dividends   
Andrew In Swedens progress continues at a pace, that summer break has certainly given him inspiration
