A weekly fantasy competition where you pick 7 racing participants and score points based on how their RaceMetrics Ratings change during the week.
Competition Schedule
Runs: Tuesday to Sunday each week
Entry deadline: 10 mins before first Tuesday race
Results: Finalized Monday morning
How to Enter
Choose a participant type from the dropdown
Search and select any 7 participants (any combination of types)
Stay within the 10,500 point budget
Submit before the deadline
Budget & Costs
Each participant costs their current RaceMetrics Rating. Higher-rated participants cost more but may score fewer points (they're expected to do well).
Note: Points used are locked at entry time for budget purposes. Scoring starts fresh when the competition begins - everyone starts at 0 regardless of rating changes between entry and start.
Strategy tip: Mix high and low rated selections to maximize potential gains within budget.
Scoring
Your score = sum of rating changes for all 7 selections during the competition week (Tuesday-Sunday).
Start: Everyone begins at 0 when entries close
Updates: Scores update after each day's racing results
+ Selection wins/performs well = rating goes up
- Selection loses/performs poorly = rating goes down
Non-runners score 0 (no change)
Cross-Contamination Rule
To keep it fair, you cannot select a horse AND any of its connections:
Horse + its Trainer
Horse + its Sire
Horse + its Dam
Horse + its Damsire
Horse + its Owner
If blocked, remove one of the conflicting selections and choose a different participant.
