.	Must win 1 Gr I to be eligible for year end award
.	No also ran points for jockeys
.	Foreign Grades do not count
.	Update	Foreign Gr I ones will count for horses that have 3 starts in North America, only WPS points will be awarded
.	Purpose: To show that even the simplest type of standings do
.	yield results that make sense. We feel logical changes that
.	could be adopted by the likes of the NTRA, AGSC, TOBA, would
.	be Grading the Grades, i.e. the Haskell might not be the same
.	weight as the Travers, Grading the divsions; a grade I win as a
.	F&M turf might not be worth the same as an 3&up on dirt due to
.	restrictions. However, we do not claim to know better and keeping
.	it simle stupid shows that it is logically possible.

If anyone would like to sponsor the standings all proceeds can be

earmarked for a horse charity of your choosing, or Old Friends.

Jockey standings sponsorship; we'd like to raise money for the

jockey fund.
