| I'm sure the reason the entry requirements are so stringent is to avoid people hanging on to their novice bids way longer than they should (knowingly or not), thus taking the prizes away from the true novices who haven't completed 10 meetings. This had become a bit of an issue last year with the champagne bottles, Andy just wants to make sure the true novices are awarded.
In order to qualify for Bemsee's Rooky 400s you musn't have done any races. If you've done a few meetings but still have a novice bib you're not elegible anymore, and it's the same thing here. Andy's the sponsor so it's his call! |
