    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    I should never back against the system 😃, Regal Envoy came 2nd at 8/1. Got more time available to me today, so I am keeping to the system so much so that my only bets are at Beverley, a course that is one of my least favourite for betting at. Balance = +28.82pts Yesterday = +0.60pts Today's...

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Good evening, I wiped my nose clean today (I think that is the correct saying, I often get them wrong 😃) with a 5/1 winner. I was going to have tomorrow off, but I have had a restful day, so I thought I would check the ratings. I actually only have one selection. I have got a few jobs to do...

    Ireland Handicap Class categories

    I think I might have solved my issue, I will have a proper look when I get home. But I think a website/app called The Racing App seems to use the same system as the UK I.e Class 2 -7 handicaps for Irish race fixtures. Thanks for everyone's help 👍.

    Ireland Handicap Class categories

    Thank you Edgt, if it's not too much to ask can you provide me with what the rating would be in Ireland for a 0 - ? , for the equivalent of a Class 5, 4, 3 and 2 in the UK, for both the Jumps and flat.

    Ireland Handicap Class categories

    So is it fair to say that in Ireland, a 0 - 100 over Jumps is equivalent to a 0 - 60 on the flat. And if so, would these be equivalent to class 6 in the UK ?

    Ireland Handicap Class categories

    In the UK, Handicap's have different classes. I believe it's 2 to 7 for flat racing and 2 to 5 for Jump racing. In Ireland it seems to be judged by the prize money. Does anyone one no what the structure is, can that prize money be equivalent to a Class 2,3,4,5,6 ? Also is that prize money the...

    Novice Limited Handicaps

    Thanks Jayhawk, as far as my system goes I think I will have leave out these races. There was one this evening the 8.10 at Fontwell. I just think it's an added complication I could do without.
