Age is from the day of our first Jackpot - 12th September 2026.
It doesn’t matter if you want to walk, trot or canter and the way it works is you can still place. The 1st Division is decided by the fastest person on the day and anyone within 2 seconds of them falls into the 1D. The winner of the 2D is 2 seconds slower than the winner of the 1D and everyone within 2 seconds falls into the 2D. The winner of the 3D is 4 seconds behind the winner of the 1D so it’s almost a game of luck where your time lands and it gives anyone a chance of winning.
For Example if the fastest person on the day runs 16.87 seconds
1D is 16.87 - 18.86
2D is 18.87 - 20.86
3D is 20.87 +
