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. Willie Mykura has a very good formula for working out
handicaps which takes into account recent form. As well as a good race,
there is the social conviviality of a shared meal afterwards.
