Breeders Cup Competition 2021

[Nathan Hughes]

Comp runs on the 5th and 6th November, all welcome to partake

Rules

*RULES PLEASE READ AS CHANGES FOR THIS COMPETITION*

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

[mickeyjp]

Really looking forward to it. I can see the Europeans having a few winners.

[Mike007]

I’ll be having my first go at this one as I don’t usually take much notice of the Breeders Cup as my flat racing brain tends to switch off after Champions Day. Cheers.
