Hi John. Are joker losses automatically -100 points or will it be 100/win Dividend doubled? -
By say no more · Posted
Each Saturday for 10 weeks you will be required to select two horses, from a list of prescribed meetings, who you believe will get beaten. This is a risk-reward game - the more favoured the runner, the more points you will earn, however if your selection wins you will lose points and lose a life. Up to you which races you select - you can even pick two horses in the same race if you wish. They just have to be races at the prescribed meetings (this will be all NZ races and maybe 2 or 3 Australian meetings). Scoring - if your runner does not win you will earn points equal to 100 divided by the Tote win dividend, eg. if the tote dividend was $3.50 you will earn 100/3.5 = 28.57 points. If your horse wins you will lose the same number of points you would have earned had it been beaten (ie. 100 /Win dividend) and you will also lose one life. You will have a total of three lives across the 10 weeks. If you reach three winners you are eliminated from the comp. The comp winner will be the person with the most points accumulated across the 10 weeks (from those who survive for the entire 10 week period), or the last person eliminated if nobody makes it through the entire 10 weeks. Where entrants in contention are eliminated in the same week, they will be split by the points that they have after elimination (ie. including points lost from your 3rd winner). Jokers (optional) - over the 10 weeks you will have two Jokers at your disposal - you don't have to use them if you choose not to - again risk & reward. In any week you can nominate one of your two selections as a Joker play. You can't play both Jokers in the same week. Your Joker selection will earn double points, but will also lose double points if your Joker selection wins (-100 points). Note, you will only lose one life (not two) if a Joker selection wins. A few more detailed rules: Regular Scratchings - if any of your selections is a regular scratching you will earn zero points - you may survive 10 weeks by picking scratchings but my history with this comp tells me that you are unlikely to win that way (and it's also not much fun). You can replace scratchings up until the posting deadline (in a new post please), but not after the deadline. Late Scratchings/Abandonments - if any of your horses is late scratched or in an abandoned race, you can replace it up until the posting deadline, but if you don't get the chance to replace you have the option of an extra pick (if you wish) the following week. If this happens in the final week that is just the rub of the green - obviously no extra picks the following week. Dead-heats - if one of your picks dead-heats for first, it will count as a winner and you will lose points based on the full win dividend (not the half they pay out) and one life. Late entrants - we will accept new entrants in week 2, but again because the objective is to survive 10 weeks, they will start with -50 points and one life down. Week 3, -100 points and 2 lives down. No new entrants from week 4. Non posters - if you don't post in any week after Week 1 you will lose 50 points and one life. If you don't post two weeks running you're eliminated. -

See the earlier thread (and next post) for comp details/rules, but post your selections here. Very simply you have to pick two horses, who you think will get beaten, from the meetings listed below. The less they are paying the more points you can earn. Please note the tweak to the scoring if your selection(s) wins. For week 1 the prescribed meetings are: Te Rapa Whanganui Rosehill Caulfield Morphettville Posting deadline this week will be 12.00pm (midday). If you pick a horse in a race that starts before this time you obviously have to post before the listed start time. Posting format - please post Meeting/Race #/Name. No need to post the horse's number - names are what I use in my scoring sheet and will also make it interesting for people to peruse the selections of others. Example of helpful posting format: Te Rapa - Race 6: Karman Line Whanganui - Race 7: Princess Elly and don't forget you have the option to use two Jokers over the 10 week period, but not both in the same week. Jokers apply to a single selection. To play your Joker just add "Joker" next to the relevant selection. -

Their riding weights are listed on Love Racing. Just search any jockey to see it.

They still used a jigger on horses; that's not up for debate. The question here is whether or not it affected the outcome of races, and the judge isn't convinced it did. So it's "just" animal abuse for a benefit which may or may not exist (the judge thinks it doesn't, Weir either thinks it does or just likes shocking horses for fun). -
