As you can tell, I'm sure, I've never really studied the flesh and blood aspect of this wonderful game. Perhaps you could just confirm that I am seing this about right... Some races have more entries than are able to be raced safely so there might be a few at the bottom (high numbers) that will only race if there are scratchings to allow them into the race. Is it first come first served or what?

Sorry I'm so thick !
