Default Breeders Cup Week . . . STUFF right here!!!

Hey folks, I'm traveling on business today and tomorrow, so the usual STUFF we look forward to may not be posted until Wednesday evening, assuming all goes well here.

Thanks for playing and the top ten need to get ready for I'm sure a very competitive Gallivan Cup contest.

The winner of the points contest and ROI will each receive a BC glass as well!

In the event the same person wins both contests the runner up of the ROI will receive the BC glass.

Default Confused Cat Question

*** SATURDAY POINTS CONTEST QUESTION ***
Cats Get Confooozled Easily!

Are We Playing The ENTIRE SATURDAY CARD In POINTS?

=====> OR: ONLY BC RACES? <=====

{FRIDAY = BC RACES ONLY}

Ruff, I don't know about you, but handicapping 14 BC races over the two day period is about as much as I can manage. I've got papers and notes scattered all over the place. And I'm sure both of our hardworking scorers will echo that sentiment.

Last year I'm pretty sure we only played the BC races over the two days.

Why would we do that? If we are playing only the Breeders Cup races, that must mean that we are starting with the first Breeders Cup race on Saturday, which is the Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, Race 3 on the card. We then continue through and including the BC Classic, also known as Race #11. Got it?

Ruffian: you didn't read the Point Picks for Friday go here, did you?!

Only BC races Friday and only BC races for Saturday will be scored for points and wagers. Now if you like, you can pick points and do wagers for the whole card each day . . . but I won't be doing that

And we've always, since I've been here, only played the BC races in our contests, so why would we change this year?

A question. I think the bankroll is $200 for Breeder's Cup. Is that $100 for each of the 2 days or $200 any way you want to play it such as all on one one race on either of the 2 days, if that is the way you wanted to play it?
