Who do you think did best?
I think this completely unscientific award goes to Nick
More so because Thor was underestimated! Cheeky Kev

A little bit of fun, currently this is the line up of Race 10. The Vics Head 139 12st Orions Belt 138 11st13lbs Quibbler John 136 11st11lbs Diamonds in the Stars 135 11st10lbs Pass the Peace 129 11st4lbs Tango Chick 129 11st4lbs Cast Away 127 11st2lbs Optimistic Smile 126 11st1lbs Chabal 124 10st13lbs Clerk of the Court 122 10st11lbs Swordplay 111 10st0lbs July 109 9st12lbs Another Baringo 108 9st12lbs Rumble of Thunder 106 9st12lbs Thor 105 9st12lbs Tal Mal Run 99 9st12lbs The challenge is to be the best handicapper of this race. I.e get the most exciting finish. I've run a trial race in my CK and a couple of the runners pull away from the rest of the field who finish fairly well bunched. Post here the field and your ratings. Stick with the top weight as a maximum rating of 140 and don't worry too much about ratings under 110 because they'll be carrying 9st12lbs regardless. I appreciate fallers/injuries can change the face of the race but it's just a bit of fun and actually in my trial only a couple fell. I'll post the alternative races in this thread. This won't affect the original race in any way at all. |

Tango Chick - 140 - 11st 12lb Diamonds In The Stars - 138 - 11st 10lb Quibbler John - 138 - 11st 10lb The Vics Head - 136 - 11st 8lb Orions Belt - 133 - 11st 5lb Cast Away - 130 - 11st 2lb Optimistic Smile - 128 - 11st Chabal - 127 - 10st 13lb Pass The Peace - 124 - 10st 10lb Swordplay - 120 - 10st 5lb Rumble of Thunder - 118 - 10st 2lb Clerk Of the Court - 110 - 9st 12lb Tal Mal Run - 110 - 9st 12lb Thor - 108 - 9st 12lb Another Baringo - 105 - 9st 12lb July - 103 - 9st 12lb There's mine, never tried it before so thought I would have a go, sounded interesting. Had to punish Craig's horse, still would probably win this one and Tango Chick should be top weight in reality! But think this could provide a few with a better chance! Hopefully, I know what you mean now by saying it's hard to have a handicapper in place, sod doing that for 22 races every week! |

This would never have to be done every race as hcapper will be from the start and will know the ratings.This is actually very hard to do at this stage as you would have to look through all horses form |

The Vics Head 140 Orions Belt 137 Quibbler John 130 Diamonds in the Stars 132 Pass the Peace 132 Tango Chick 130 Cast Away 135 Optimistic Smile 128 Chabal 121 Clerk of the Court 117 Swordplay 119 July 115 Another Baringo 110 Rumble of Thunder 120 Thor 110 Tal Mal Run 126 This was hard to try from this point but interesting thing l noticed, Rich does TOM count in fallers when assesing ratings??? Think this may be where some problems are. 1 race had 10 runners with 6 fallers so cus a low rated horse was classed as finishing 4th and all top rated horses had fell he got hit with a big mark. Maybe that is a little problem? |

I think the ratings in this race are WAY OFF!!Some high ratings for decent performances whereas a grade 1 winner rated 109 - not in my list which would be as follows: Quibbler John - 136 Diamonds In The Stars - 134 The Vics Head - 132 Orions Belt - 130 Tango Chick - 129 Chabal - 128 Cast Away - 125 Rumble Of Thunder - 125 Pass The Peace - 122 Optimistic Smile - 122 Clerk Of The Court - 120 Swordplay - 115 The rest - bottom weight as rich says due to under 110 Thor Another Baringo July Tal Mal Run |
