Sweet Horse Racing Calendar Opens (and probably closes) Today!

Call it what you like, Oakseydoake Day, the Mascot Gavotte or the Kennytuckywarriors Derby, it's race day at cooney Valley as I scramble my old Qunter sim to run us a couple of races.

This concept was first put to you punters in 2019 ( see this thread ). A simple simulator runs a race with a list of text horse names on screen, with the finish line running at them from the right. Powered by the same idiot who originally brought you Qooty. I look forward to a Python rewrite!

You, the punters, can ... well you can punt! Just tell me your bet and I'll enter it into the system. If you're new to the caper, you get CM1000 (clarkemonies) to start. Sorry pantskyle you're not allowed to play unless someone lends you some CM (yes I don't care if people lend each other CM but you gotta manage that shiz, not me - I'll just edit your accounts for you).

Wondering "wtf"? Here's an example of a race run back in 2019 :


btw We don't have a racecourse built near Sweet yet. I'll get onto it someday. For now, the cover image is from Mulletville which is far south of Sweet in another part of the world.

First race will be run at around 10:30am Bris time (11:30am Melb, some other time in the weirder places).
Here's the field:

Rich (BB code):
SWEET WELTER 6 (800m),  Grp 4. Best : 9999 (Unraced, Unraced).
 1  MY PERSONA               ( 5 / 1 )      Past : 66-46  9 runs 
 2  TEAM SAUSAGEROLL         ( 12 / 1 )      Past : -4--6  10 runs 
 3  RUOURS                   ( 9 / 1 )      Past : -57-8  11 runs 
 4  CLARKEMONIES             ( 1 / 1 )      Past : 15946  11 runs 
 5  DECIDED TO RETIRE        ( 9 / 1 )      Past : 008-7  3 runs 
 6  FIRST TO SIX             ( 3 / 1 )      Past : 09163  4 runs 
 7  QOOTY ON THE RITZ        ( 5 / 1 )      Past : 00972  3 runs 
 8  LOL WONDERS              ( 2 / 1 )      Past : 67978  8 runs 
 9  WHO IS GOPOWER           ( 5 / 1 )      Past : 366-7  11 runs 
 10 FU**YOUBEEZ              ( 1 / 1 )      Past : 25814  5 runs 
 11 SHES A BITER             ( 5 / 1 )      Past : 3962-  8 runs 
 12 CHUD SHAKE               ( 5 / 1 )      Past : 5148-  6 runs

Don't understand? Barrier draw number, horse name, odds, last 5 runs ("-" = worse than 9th, "0" = hasn't run 5 times yet).

Race is approx an hour from now. Bets close on the hour (10am Bris, 11am Melb).

Or not. Up to you.

(whispers to self) Ok. If this works its gonna be a friggin' miracle.

Oh yeah and bet types are only Win, Place, Each Way & Quinella. Because I'm not a clever enough coder to encapsulate more than that. Even those are a bit dicey.

Is it like Qooty where there’s an equal amount chance of each one winning or are there additional factors/coding based on barrier, past results etc.?
Mostly random, though I can't remember if previous placings (the horse's form) affects its chances. I think it does, and hence why the odds are not as inviting for them.
 
Bets are in.

Can I please have 10CM Each Way on No. 8?

I hope Loonerty doesn’t find out that you are racing fake horses
might save me running my sportsbet account into the ground today. I'll just run my ClarkeMonies account into the ground.

But the video recording crashed out halfway through.

I'll show a new barrier draw and we can restart. Sorry. It's my laptop.
 
Ok I managed to run a bunch of barrier draws and got almost the same field tho different barriers. And one horse is missing (11 instead of 12).
