Description:
Equibase Company will offer separate handicapping tournaments on Friday, Oct. 31, and Saturday, Nov. 1, of the Breeders' Cup World Championships with $10,000 in total cash prizes.
The tournaments are free to enter at equibase.com and open to anyone 18 and older.
The tournaments are presented by TrackMaster, a provider of handicapping products including FlashNet, the Pocket and Tablet Handicapper, and iPPs, which are interactive past performances that are iPad specific.
"With so many people playing the Breeders' Cup, these tournaments are a wonderful way for them to see how their picks stack up against others, and potentially go home with extra cash and bragging rights," said TrackMaster president David Siegel.
To compete, players select one horse in each race and receive mythical $2 win and $2 place bets for each horse. Sign-ups and entries close approximately 15 minutes before the first race of the tournament each day. There are eight races Friday starting with the Las Vegas Marathon Stakes and nine Saturday starting with the Juvenile Fillies and ending with the Breeders' Cup Classic.
"We know from past experience that the Breeders' Cup World Championships attracts the interest of avid racing fans as well as newcomers to the sport," said Breeders' Cup chief operating officer Bob Elliston. "These contests will encourage all fans to closely follow the horses as they prepare for and then compete in these outstanding races."
