Secretary will make up the ring numbers and velocities which will be totally random.

A fancier who isn't a participant for each virtual race will be chosen to provide a random velocity & the fancier with the nearest velocity on the result will win a YB.
(Where there maybe a split velocity, the velocity rounded up will be the winner. Winning fancier to organise collection of the YB.)
