TRF Breeders Cup Competition (POWER PLAY RULES)

[Nathan Hughes]

Comp runs on the 6th and 7th 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)
Instead of choosing a Nap you instead have one power play per day (total 2)
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.

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

Just took a look at Fridays card Nathan and quickly came to the conclusion that this years Breeders Cup Comp is not going to be easy. Jac

I wonder what happened to 2017 winner Charles Olney, he used to be a regular on Select 3 Horses when I was doing it.

[Nathan Hughes]

It sure does look tricky and spare a thought for the lads that have to put the saddle cloths on Snowfall and Mother Earth…

Member since March 2008

[Nathan Hughes]

Snowfall is a reserve so they maybe okay
Yes, a shame Charles has not been on.
Did you ever find out anything about Des.??

Member since March 2008

[Triptych]

..Bet they dont get that wrong again.

Sadly no news on Des Nathan, bit of a worry it’s been a while now.
