Challow Novices' Hurdle

The Challow Novices' Hurdle is a Grade 1 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Newbury over a distance of about 2 miles and 4½ furlongs (2 miles 4 furlongs and 118 yards, or 4,131 metres), and during its running there are ten hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in late December or early January. Initially contested as a two mile juvenile hurdle (restricted to horses who were three years old at the start of the season), the race was opened to older horses from the 1981/82 season onwards.[1] After a hiatus during the mid 1990s, juvenile hurdlers are now excluded from the race.

gollark: The incentives problems: central planners aren't really as affected by how well they do their jobs as, say, someone managing a firm, and you probably lack a way to motivate people "on the ground" as it were.
gollark: What, so you just want us to be stuck at one standard of living forever? No. Technology advances and space mining will... probably eventually happen.
gollark: But that step itself is very hard, and you need to aggregate different people's preferences, and each step ends up being affected by the values of the people working on it.
gollark: There are too many goods produced for individuals to practically go around voting on what the outputs of the economy should be, so at best they can vote on a summary which someone will turn into a full thing.
gollark: Also, you need to somehow decide on what should be produced.
