Topic: 2025 Spring Winners, Roughies & SP compPosted: 07 Aug 2025 at 1:07pm |

RULES There four competitions. Comp 1. W = Winners. This comp is where your selection gets 3 points if they win, 2 points if the finish 2nd and 1 point of they finish 3rd. R = Roughies. In this comp, if your selection finishes 1st, 2nd,3rd or 4th, the prizemoney earned is added to your total. SP = Starting Price. In this comp your selection's prizemoney earned is multiplied by the horses odds and that is your total. So if your selection earns $100,000, and is $10.00, your selection gains $1,000,000 for your total. SP is starting price x prize money divided by finishing position down to last. Now the fourth comp is a head to head comp, which is based on the Soccer World Cup draw. So there are pools where everyone plays each other (head to head) and the top two in each pool moves on into the knockout stages of the comp. In this competition, selections odds are divided by their placing and the odds. So if your selection finishes say fifth and they start @ $10.00, then your selections percentage is 2.0%. Now during the spring there are races where prizemoney is paid down to tenth position. This prizemoney is included so if you select a horse at say $101.00, but they run 5th, then your selection will score 20% and that will usually be enough to win a HTH clash. I am assuming that Afros will split the SP and HTH comps this spring as it was quite rightly pointed out that the SP and HTH comps are so different that selecting the same horses for both are usually not the way to go. Additional Rule: ...............did enter picks, and did have time to correct prior to the first race (G1 that is), this will treated as no pick. Please ensure you post your selections correctly otherwise they won't count ![]() Hopefully that has helped Shammy & all of us Edited by Gay3 - 09 Mar 2026 at 7:37pm |

I am happy to keep score for the roughies, providing you don't mind the scores being a bit, or a lot, late.

The now defunct Racehorsetalk site had a comp with prizes. It stimulated a lot of interest.
Surely old Gill or the site owners could kick in a prize to generate som3 racing interest 🤔

Yes, PL but would it be the right sort of participation?
Probably no. Besides, in our comps there’s a lot more at stake than mere money … bragging rights on TBV
It’s cut-throat enough as is ![]() |

It’s nice of you to suggest prizes, PL, but better if you just chucked your hat in and joined the fun. As furious says, all welcome. And look what it’s done for whale’s popularity! He’s even managed to make a few friends over here

Yeah alright … ‘friends’ might be a stretch, they were probably bots. I’m just trying to make us look inviting

Winx Stakes W: Via Sistina R: Gringotts SP: Gringotts Perhaps unpopular opinion, but this race should not be a Group 1.
