FLAT BIG RACE COMP – Race 28 - Balmoral Hcp, Ascot, 4.25 Saturday 17th Oct

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.



List of proposed races (may change at short notice):

November Handicap - 5th Nov- Doncaster

Last Race of the comp


November Handicap - 5th Nov- Doncaster ..............  expect Fireworks, well sparklers at least

Dont forget A White Knight is on the distant horizon
NH comp cant be too far away 


"it cant come soon enough" I hear the cry from some

Oh good. I much prefer National Hunt

Mini Me
I do hope you are not going to scare aware all the opposition
we were hoping for a 50 plus entry
it's good to know that most folks on here take defeat as graciously as winning
so I am sure they will be returning to enjoy the experience
of playing and at times beating the best there is
We have so much to learn and so little time left to do it in

need points so big ones this week

The Jesters,
often referred to as Racing’s “Oscars�,
is the most fun awards ceremony in Racing’s calendar
and is a highlight of the year for Tipsters.
It celebrates the Handicap Tipsters profession and honours their achievements in 2016.
It also pays tribute to some of those who do not win the top honours
but through their hard work and dedication contribute much to the sport.

The evening will begin at 5pm with a drinks reception,
followed by a delicious three-course meal,
with half bottle of wine per group included,
before the awards ceremony commences.
New venue Doncaster Post Box Arena just behind the grandstand
after the last race.
