Ladies, Gents The Racing Post and Daily Telegraph have combined to run a Fantasy Racing competition using the QIPCO British Champions series of races to award points. It’s quite simple to enter, and you can have up to three stables at no charge. The competition has five pools of trainers, and five pools of jockeys, ranged according to the potential strength of their hand in this year’s series. You choose a trainer and a jockey from each pool. You score points if your jockey has a ride, or your trainer a runner, you score points, with the number increasing for those in the less likely pools. If they win or are placed, there are additional points, based on a multiple of the SP. A winner from Pool A gets you 3 x SP, a place 2 x SP. But if it’s a Pool E jockey or trainer, then you score 25 x SP for a win and 9 x SP a place. In the 48 hours before each race in the series you choose two horses from those declared. It doesn’t matter whether they are connected to your rider or trainer. It’s important to do this or you’ll lose points. For these horses, a win is worth 10 x SP and a place 3 x SP. If your interested in joining its free so you have nothing to lose get picking. The first race in the series is the 2,000 Guineas on 5 May, so be sure to enter by then. Heres the link to the website but for those not so technically minded the League is Not 606 and the Pin Number is 8000402 and is the same as the Cheltenham Festival Competition. http://fantasyracing.telegraph.co.uk/league/view/8000242
