There is one Handicap
race every month from April to September. Points are awarded to
the first 35 finishers starting with 35 for the first, 34 for the second
down to 1 for the 35th. 5 points are also awarded to every finisher to
go towards the tally for the club championship. Willie Mykura
has a very good formula for working out handicaps which takes into account
recent form. In fact so good that there was a 3-way tie in the 2002 Handicap
Championship! As well as a good race, there is the social conviviality
of a shared meal afterwards.
