FLAT BIG RACE COMP - Race 1 - Lincoln

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.

I'm afraid you have me back running things this year after stewpot's superb innings, no changes, I will try and get the list of races up for next time which will be the Spring Cup at Newbury in a month or so!

Good luck for the season

its a fairly comprehensive list.Ive put in the Weatherbys Super Sprint Stakes on July 22 otherwise theres a 2 week gap
last years Ayr Gold Cup was abandoned
a couple of other races here and there were/are the highest prize money for that particular day to create some continuity
obviously this list is open to a lot of changes this year by the BHA depending on sponsors and other factors etc
but the main races should be staying where they are

I've posted this to give us all an idea what to expect through the year and to give undecided a reference point so feel free to pick and choose which ones you want to leave out

Thank you duke, that's helpful, I'll have a sort through ready for next race.

missed out todays Queen's Cup Handicap at Musselburgh but last year the date of the race was April 15
