TEN TO FOLLOW 19-20
Rules
We will follow the same pattern as in recent years in relation to the scoring with the points details below.
• The competition will now run from the Friday of the Open meeting at Cheltenham (15th November) until Grand National day in April.
• There will be a prize for the leader at the end of racing on 1st January 2020
You can pick ANY horse (even 3 year old hurdlers). To help you I suggest you check the ante post markets for the Cheltenham festival and the early season bonus races like the Betvictor Gold Cup or the Henessey (now known as the Ladbroke).
Entries must be e-mailed to shyndssb@yahoo.co.uk before the first race on Friday 15th November.
Entry fee will be the usual £25 and this year I will be asking for the payment up front. If you can pay me online as most of you do, that’s fine or you can go in to any Ulster Bank and lodge the money in my account. My account details are:
Account name: S R HYNDS
Sort Code: 98-05-40
Account number 25907270
Please put your initials and TTF in the payment reference code.
Prizes
I will announce the prize details when all the money is collected. The number of entries will dictate the prize money but there will be a prize of £100 paid to the leader at the end of 1st January 2020 and also £150 to the highest points scorer at the Cheltenham festival. There are no monthly prizes.
Point Scoring details below.
Selections winning Jump races (under the Rules of Racing in Great Britain or Ireland, includes those all weather bumpers) during the period of the competition will be awarded points as follows:
VALUE POINTS
IN A RACE WORTH £30,000 OR MORE TO THE WINNER 25
IN A RACE WORTH £25,000 UP TO £29,999 TO THE WINNER 20
IN A RACE WORTH £15,000 UP TO £24,999 TO THE WINNER 15
IN A RACE WORTH £10,000 UP TO £14,999 TO THE WINNER 12

Prize money will be taken as the published racecard Penalty Value to the winner. For races in Ireland, prize money published in Euro will be converted to Sterling at the conversion rate of €1.20 to £1.
In the event of a dead-heat, points will be divided by the number of horses dead-heating with fractions rounded down. No points for a walkover. The official result on the day will be used for the calculation of points with any subsequent disqualifications disregarded.
