Can't do that. First off, we don't know for sure what horses people may have had each-way or win. Also, people chose certain horses based on the rules that were in place at the time. Can't penalise them now by retrospectively using the new rules.

I did do a check last week though just on the basis of win betting only and the results would have been pretty much the same as we got with the original rules. Only a few results which may have gone the other way.

I was just having a bit of a leg-pull.

Yeah, I guess so.

It's just that if we were going purely on a points basis, Leroy would be in the 8, but instead, he's coming last. But the thing about that is that if he does string a few wins together, he'll climb up the ladder pretty quickly.

Svenvlad and Maverick both put in brilliant performances yesterday. Sven got 4 winners from 5!

Looks like heavy tracks for Sydney and the Melb. feature. Bit of an interesting race with a lot of second-ups [which might hit the wall fitness wise in the condt.].

GL ALL

Sportz,

I was just wondering how you award points now [?]

Win: W1 no extra point if selection places or a place point ?
e/w: W1 + P1 if the selection wins ?

Good luck tomorrow Sports.

Points awarded purely on the basis of how many $ are returned for $20 win or $10 Each Way. If your 5 bets return $150, you get 150 points.

So, if you pick horses win only, you will get a higher score if they win, but you don't get the insurance of the place bet if your horse finishes 2nd or 3rd.
