count as up to two of your “8 best races”.

New for this year (2017), points will also be
awarded for your best 800m (track) and best mile (track or e.g. Meadows), and
these can count as up to two of your “8 best races”.

3 points awarded per monthly 5k handicap
win. Your aggregate points for all 5k handicap
wins can count as one of your “8 best races”.
