Breeders Cup Competition

[raymo61]

Are we having a Breeders Cup Competition this year??

[mickeyjp]

Hope so. Love this meeting. Been watching preview shows to get up to speed with the American dirt horses. Pete fornatale from at the races has got the in the money podcast which usually tips a couple of double digit winners.

[BigG]

Raymo I know how much work you and Mrs Raymo do running the competitions, I
was always on the bench for you, so I’ll step in and set it up tonight or
tomorrow at the latest

[BigG]

Welcome to TRF BREEDERS CUP Competition

Comp runs on the 3rd and 4th November

Rules

Please select 2 horses per race (plus as many reserves as you like)
NO NAPS. Instead you will have one power play per day (total 2) 1 Friday + 1 Saturday
The power play will be used for two races of your choice per day but the races have to
be one after another so for example you pick race 1 you have to have race 2 as well. if
you chose race 4 you have to have race 5 aswell.

Power Plays score double the points for each horse in each position that is available for
points. So an 8/1 2nd will score 26 points if pick in a power play.

I hope I have explained that well enough

please make clear which races you want as power plays but remember they must be next to each other
no edits, please make another post
late entries will lose 10% of points

[Triptych]

Thanks for stepping up to do this Graham…I really love this comp.
However, my ‘to do’ list has just gone manic now as I am away at Newmarket Friday and Saturday so need to sort out 16 races there, Bobby’s TTF to find 10 NH horses and your Tote TTF the same, The Daylight Cup, Neil’s Handicap comp and finally my Select 3 Horses…thankfully Hot Fuss is coming back to score that for me on Sunday…life saver.

See you at the Breeders Cup on Friday and thanks again Graham.. Jac.

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

[raymo61]

Top man Graham
Going to have to take my shoes and socks off t work out my powerplay points LOL
Good Luck with the scoring and as always this household is looking forward to it

[Chivers1987]

BigG is a legend, pass it on.

[BigG]

No problem Jac, enjoy Newmarket whilst you get the chance,
I know it will be a teary farewell to it for the season,
as i think that’s it done Good luck anyway, get some
of that satchel money from those greedy bookies

You’re welcome Raymo, you and MrsR have done more than
your fair share. I must admit when I looked at last years
scoring I was like WTF !! but I’ll have it sorted out
before the day.

Far too kind Chivers, but I luv it

[BigG]

You’ve got it spot on Jac, 9pm followed by the next race at 9.40pm.
Good luck with your Friday pics I’ve not even looked at them
yet but at least I’ve eventually whittled Bobby’s TTF down to 10, I’m
just about to put them on before I get caught up with the Breeders Cup
frenzy

[BigG]

Great to see you back in Michael, I’m sure that the Hillside Animal
Sanctuary will be shouting you on after your kind donation to them
with your winnings on the flat compy.

You’re a class act, best of luck this year
