FLAT BIG RACE COMP 2026 - Race 35 - Cesarewitch

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.

Remaining races:

Cesarewitch - Newmarket 10 Oct

Congratulations Trusty and Pedro39a for picking the winner for both points!
It was of-course Alphonse who won 2 years ago at 33/1 and subsequently dq, if memory serves me right Trusty had him then as well.
TommyWestofLanark also had the winner but for 1pt.
Moose plumped for the 50/1 shot in 5th place, and scores a ton.

Today's high scorers were down the table so the only change at the top is that tictacman1 vaults GRP888 for 3rd spot.

Very nicely poised for the final two rounds which are the Balmoral next week, and the usual wait for the finale in November.

WD ALG pickers

Wisdom of the crowd strikes again

Finally a winner in the comp this year, probably my worst ever performance. You are right Alphonse has done me proud a few times but how did they return it at 18/1 when BSP was 34.0. Why would anyone back with the books!

Hope I can sneak into the top 10 with two races left but the Balmoral is always difficult.
