GNT ******** Golden Race ******** Hall of Fame ******** Handicap The concept of a 'handicap' is based on the need to be fair by 'disadvantaging' or preventing an opponent's advantage. A handicap race is a race whereby the horses carry a weight that is fixed by the handicapper in the aim to equalise their chances of winning. At Newturf, each horse is given a handicap value (HV) in each of the four track distances: HV 1000M, HV 1600M, HV 2200M and HV 3000M. These HV's correspond to the virtual weight in kilogrammes that is placed under the saddle of the horse in handicap races. The higher the HV, the more the horse is penalised during its next handicap race. How is the HV calculated? By default, the HV distance X of a horse that is unknown in public races with or without a handicap for a distance of X, is set at 50 kilogrammes. When a horse participates in a handicap race or a public race without a handicap and it wins the race, the HV increases by 7 kilogrammes for the corresponding distance. If the horse finishes in second place, its HV increases by 5 kilogrammes for the corresponding distance. If the horse finishes in third or fourth place and is awarded, the HV increases by only three kilogrammes. For a horse that does not win an award, no matter what its position at the finish line, the HV is reduced by 6 kilogrammes for the corresponding distance. The horses' HV is made public and can be seen in on the horse's information sheet (horse card). The handicap races are organised exclusively by Newturf. For each handicap race, Newturf distributes in winnings 85% of the entry fees. The remaining 15% are put into the Team Cup's prize pool. Handicap Cup ******** IdF ******** Liste d'engagement Eligible Horse rule aims at making a selection among nominated horses as demand to race the cash sponsored races (Punters Meetings) often exceed the offer. All horses are ranked during nominations in a descending order according to their net winnings (trotting, hurdle) or category (flat racing). The ranking takes place in real time, taking into account each new registration and cancellation. This ranking can be viewed in the Race Card. The horses that qualify to race are those placed at the top of the list, within the limits of the maximum number of participants. The horses classed too far down the list are placed on a waiting list. There is a possibility that they will become qualified to participate later on, if there is a sufficient number of cancellations of previously qualified horses. Maiden Designates a horse that has not raced any single Category race. Designates also a race for these horses that have not race any Category race: Maiden Race. The horse that starts a career in racing regulated must necessarily run its first race in a Maiden race.
