£10Million British Race Series

[_ed_]

Wow, sounds fantastic.

I hope something might also be done for the fillies and mares though, they seem to be a bit left out of this.

ed, they could do somthing for fillies and mares, yeah but in fairness, over the last number of years, the number of G1 races in Europe for older fillies and mares has increased enormously that at least now, there is a benefit to running a filly/mare in Europe after their 3yo career.

it'd be great to see a Ouija Board type try to win the series but more than once throughout the season, they'd be tempted to go the easier option and win a G1 restricted to their own sex..

i have too much time on my hands, but if i take the racing order of merit scoring they use for jump racing here :
1st - 20
2nd - 16
3rd - 12
4th -10
5th - 8
6th -6

and there was joint winners!!
1. Ramonti / Authorized 56
3. Dylan Thomas 52
4. Notnowcato 50
5. Duke of Marmalade 48

Both Notnowcato and Duke of Marmalade ran in 4 of those races last year..

In trying to find someone who ran in more, I got Falbrav who ran in 5 in 2003 (Giants Causeway also 5 in 2000). trying to think of others.. not many are that flexible from 1m to 1 1/2miles
