This is something on my list of things to check!

[StuartHopkin]

The rules state

If you fail to make a selection or select a non-runner you will be assigned a random horse.

But I have not done this, and cannot possibly administer this before each race.

I will go through the sheet and highlight the none runners and then we can come up with a plan.

I have an idea ........

[redsimon]

thats ok then, i had nr in last race and sp favourite was placed wasnt sure if i was on it lol

[StuartHopkin]

Right

Highlighted what sporting life has listed as non runners

Booder - JONBON
Typhoon - ZANNABAD & JONBON
Bagel - FIRST STREET & CELTIC DINO
RedSimon - FIRST STREET & JUNTA MARVEL

My suggestion

I will set up the horses in the relevant race on https://wheelofnames.com/
I will spin the wheel and the selected horse will replace the non runner
The WIN or EW selection will remain the same
Luckily I will be with Neil (jakally), Ralph (Karabiner), Matt(Evilpie) from lunch time tomorrow so they can oversee this and ensure it is fair

If anyone doesn't like this feel free to put forward another solution

If there are no objections then I will do this tomorrow and update the scores before the first race tomorrow.

Thanks

the standard way to do this over many years in these competitions is the NR is replaced by SP favourite.

Not sure why you'd be complicating it with a random name generator

Only because the rules as lifted from last year do not state anything about SP favourite, they state random horse.

If everyone is happy with SP favourite I have no issue with this, makes it easier for me, but a little less exciting

I am happy for it to be SP FAV, as per previous years. Can you put up a link for the sheet again to save me searching. BTW, I didnt spot any errors yesterday apart from the one you picked up yourself . Well done.......should have it cracked by Saturday

Thanks. Sort of 'busy' at work today, so it has been a bit of a hectic morning.

Will see if we get any more input on the non runners then sort it out tomorrow morning
