Can any horse run in a handicap now? This week in some Uk races, there are runners in handicaps that have just had the 1 run. Matt |

I've also seen a first time out horse in a G1. If i would have known this has changed i would have put one of mine in. |

Yes, this week in the Christmas spirit I have allowed first time group entries (mainly new trainers) and 1 runs in handicaps. The latter mainly to see what effect it actually has, when the results come out I want to see what people think of them and whether they think the # runs rule is good. Going forward the old rules will apply. This wasn't planned but I think that's better to avoid people potentially abusing it. |

As I said, if I had told you beforehand it would have potentially been abused. This week there were very few instances and it was a perfect opportunity to see what difference the changes made. |

i know buddy!! i just want to clarify - all handicap runners at cheltenham must have 3 runs or 2 at the distance?? i ask because i was going to add a new 3yo juvenile hurdler but he can only run once in week 11 before the Fred Winter at Cheltenham. so i have to check the rule!!?? |

Minimum 2 runs for a handicap at Cheltenham. We'll review the handicaps this week and I think most will agree that the 2 run rule makes sense. |
