FLAT BIG RACE COMP 2023 - Race 8 - Temple Stakes

The Rules:

The competition will cover 35 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 15 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.

Looking at last years fixtures there is a big heritage handicap at York on the Saturday before Ascot

Then at Ascot on the the Tuesday there is the Ascot Stakes (Heritage Handicap)
Wednesday Royal Hunt Cup (Heritage Handicap) 
Thursday King George V Stakes (Heritage Handicap) and the Britannia Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Colts & Geldings)
Saturday Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap)

up to you though but could easily do 4 at Ascot but depends if they move them around

I put a little note above the overall table re: the above.
