Yes, a Saturday win would give you 160pts, but Saturday cards are tougher. It would mean that the finish of the month is more exciting if people leave their PP to the end.
Just watched it. Weird race, one where you would have to get the trainer or rep in for an explanation of the riding tactics. However given they were trying to get the horse to settle by halfway the horse had decided that he was having none of it and was trying to run out on the right. Had they just let the horse bowl along at his own speed who knows what would have happened. Definitely one to swerve nto.
If Brian stays injury free he will be champion. It would have been great to see it close going into the final day, but it will be good for Brian and Northern racing.
