New Crock Of Gold format is working well
24Jun
The first heat of the 2016 Crock Of Gold Series took place at Tir Prince Raceway Towyn on Saturday 18th June.
The Crock Of Gold Series is traditionally for the top Free For All horses in the UK and Ireland and has seen a few different formats over the years including multiple heats being held all over the UK and heats and finals on the same night in a Little Brown Jug style format.
In 2015 the series went back to multiple heats and a final on 20th August all held at Tir Prince.
2016 has seen the system tweaked again with all of the heats being run as Preferred Free For All’s with the top eight horses in the handicap qualifying drawn from one to eight on the gate with the lower handicapped horses receiving a better draw.
