Royal Ascot 2015 Handicapping Competition
It's Royal Ascot Week! My favorite 5 days of racing each year. So, in order to get ready for the great meet, let's have a handicapping competition! Here, you pick a horse in each of the 6 races each day (as well as an alternate in case of your pick being a non-runner... Put in parentheses after your pick). All your picks for the day must be in before the first race of the day. You don't need to submit all of the 5 days at once. Standings from the day will be posted sometime after the final race of the day but before the first race of the next day (can't promise that they will be right after the last race). Points will be based on the chart below. Also, the first and second place finishers of this will be given a bid to compete in the Mjtags' Starters Orders Handicapping Championship 2015 (come December). Sirius Chill and PJRhodes won bids for finishing first and second in the Belmont Stakes Challenge. Good Luck!
Points: Up to 5/1: 20 pts 1st, 5 pts 2nd 6/1 to 10/1: 23 pts 1st, 7 pts 2nd 11/1 to 15/1: 26 pts 1st, 9 pts 2nd 16/1 to 20/1: 29 pts 1st, 11 pts 2nd 21/1 to 25/1: 32 pts 1st, 13 pts 2nd 26/1 to 30/1: 35 pts 1st, 15 pts 2nd 31/1 and Up: 38 pts 1st, 17 pts 2nd (all odds are inclusive... If in between, odds rounded up, 5.5/1 to 6/1... Odds are from Timeform IPhone App... Originally Racing Post app, but app is not working for me so Timeform now has the call)
Final Standings: 1. PJRhodes --- 235 2. Johnny16dar --- 176 3. Kevcon --- 165 4. SimpleMinds --- 164 5. Mjtags11 --- 163 6. PeterS94 --- 140 7. BenWortho --- 45 8. Schlagito --- 0

Re: Royal Ascot 2015 Handicapping Competition
Amazing win in the Queen Anne for Solow (11/8... 1.4/1). Could easily move to the top spot in the next world rankings with that win. Esoterique (16/1) second.
