Post subject:  Week 4 Handicaps
So, the fun has begun!

Please see TOM for the handicap scratchings, most are down to there only being one run (UK and NHC are minimum 3 runs or 2 at the handicap distance), a couple are due to there being only 2 runs over completely inadequate distances.

At longer distances I have been a bit more lenient allowing 2 runs if it is within 1f of the handicap distance.

In NHC I have also been pretty lenient, one run is a no-no though. Two runs, depending on the quality of those races, the distances and the performance I have made a call. As the season progresses I will get less lenient though so be warned. Race 14 has been left completely untouched due to the lack of extreme distance races.

As a final warning you should know the handicapper has a very long memory, you only get one trick in then he may hammer your entire stable :twisted:

Thanks though to everyone who has taken the handicap route in the spirit it was intended, I have done a fair bit of research this week and it's looking good. Thanks also to those who uploaded their horses this week correctly handicapped, almost 100% success rate this week!

Retirements will open this week too.

Don't see anything odd in the handicaps?

You're free to enter horse in whatever distance you like if it isn't a handicap. If the sole intention of the run is get a lower mark then you will be disappointed when you try to enter that horse in a handicap!

It has only run once, handicap needs a minimum of 2 runs at a distance close to that required or 3 over all distances.
