No, you heard right. I think they said they get an invite and if they accept it becomes a 13 horse final (but a 3yo won the RS)
Plus there are all these bonus points for the Inter heats that mean a horse like Gus who did not win his heat is nevertheless on top of the Trotters table
Crazy IMO. Open to exploitation. Eg London To A Brick is tailed off and knows he is going to run last and get 1pt (guessing here) but he knows that the horse that runs the fastest Last Q and Last Half can get 3/4 bonus points (not sure which) so he goes ever so slowly until the 800 then builds it up and burns home to elevate himself to the equivalent of finishing 5th last and a rough chance of still making the final with a good run in the 2nd round
It seems so unfair & is re dick u less IMO.Quote:

That is so stupid . God you would be pissed off if you had the same no of points with another horse for the 12th spot & if a 4yo had won the RS , it went in the race ahead of you , (well probably both ) .Quote:

In an exciting twist, Leap To Fame and defending Inter Dominion champion Don Hugo will clash in next Saturday night's second round of heats.
Here is the scoring table. It seems ridiculous that the 3 top rated horses are all in the same heat next weekend (especially when there are only 2 rounds) - making it so much easier for those in the other 2 heats

Certainly little comfort - I believe the ridiculous non selection cost Captains Mistress $145k
