|
| RULES: The object
of the game is to correctly select the top finishers in all eight BREEDERS’
CUP divisions. Participants are permitted to select two horses in
each race. In six of the divisions - DISTAFF, JUVENILE |
| FILLIES, MILE, SPRINT,
FILLY & MARE TURF, and JUVENILE, five points are earned for choosing
the race winner, three points for picking the runner-up, and one point
for the show spot. Payoffs increase by one point in |
| the BREEDERS’ CUP TURF
with first place being worth six points, four for second, two for third,
and one point for finishing fourth. Points increase again in the
BREEDERS’ CUP CLASSIC with seven points awarded for |
| selecting the winner,
five points for the place spot, three for third, two for fourth, and one
point for a fifth place finish. Any horse finishing worse than the
above mentioned positions receives zero points. There are also two |
| bonus questions (best
bet and longshot) each worth three extra points. NOTE: A horse
must race at odds of 7 to 1 or greater to qualify as a longshot. Morning
line favorites appear in blue. |
| . |
| PENALTY:
Morning Line race favorites receive only one-half (1/2) credit! Penalty
applies to all selections including the “best bet.” EXAMPLE:
TURF favorite finishes second. Normally, a second place finish in
this |
| division would be rewarded
with four points. However, if you chose this horse as one of your
two selections for the TURF, you would receive only two points because
the horse raced as the favorite. This penalty is intended to |
| discourage the selection
of favorites so that everybody doesn’t end up with the same horses, and
to reward a player’s handicapping skills for selecting a “longshot” as
opposed to a “walkover.” Steward’s decision is final. |
