THE % MAN Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 This is just an idea of mine for all the regular members who put up racing post everyday. The idea is to see who can come up with the most profit at the end of the TURF SEASON picking 3 horses in the biggest Handicap on Saturdays only. The three selections will be worked out at SP prices only and all placed horses will be calculated at 1/4 the odds at all times and 1st 4 places in 16+ runner races.The selections will also be in c/forcast and also a tricast to the following stakes 3 x 1pt ew singles 6pts 6 x 1pt s/forcast 6pts 6 x .5pt combination tricasts I would also like a small reason for your selections and not just any old picks. If I can get about 8 to 10 regulars who will put up selections every Sat [bar holidays] I don't mind keeping records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussP Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Re: Saturdays Three horse Handicap Challenge I'm in %Man. As you probably know, longer priced horses in handicaps are generally the only bets I have. I assume you will post up the selected race on Friday so I can have a look and post accordingly.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they be any handicapp races with 16 or more runners? The race chosen will be the one big Handicap [sat only] and you pick three horses that will win and be placed. I would like a small reason for your selections and strongly fancied by you will be ok. I dont want just selections picked with a pin. They can be the same as anybody elses but the aim is to pick the winner and also the forcast and if you are lucky enough pick the tricast.
