Post Starters Orders H'capping Champ. - Breeders Cup Finals
It's Back!! Season Two of the world famous Starters Orders Handicapping Championship is back for its second year, and will be starting up with the Dubai World Cup. Throughout the year, specific weekends will be selected as Championship weekends, where points can be earned by selected a horse to finish first, second, or third. Every competition gives you a chance to earn a bid for the Championship Series, held during Breeders' Cup Weekend. This year's Championship has been expanded to include more weekends, more races, and a better point system. Each weekend will give out a bid to the highest finisher, and there will be two wild card spots given out to the two highest cumulative points finishers who do not receive a bid. So playing in each set of races is important, even if you don't win, as the points do add up. All competitions will be done within this thread, instead of separate threads like last year (also, if someone could, please pin this post so we don't lose it).

Below is the new point system as well as a list of the racing days that will be part of the series.


Point System:
Up to 10/1: 20 pts 1st, 10 pts 2nd, 5 pt 3rd
11/1 to 20/1: 22 pts 1st, 12 pts 2nd, 7 pts 3rd
21/1 to 30/1: 25 pts 1st, 15 pts 2nd, 10 pts 3rd
31/1 to 40/1: 27 pts 1st, 17 pts 2nd, 12 pts 3rd
41/1 and Up: 30 pts 1st, 20 pts 2nd, 15 pts 3rd
All Odds are Inclusive... If In-Between, Odds Rounded Up, 5.5/1 to 6/1. (Timeform for International Races, TVG for US Races)

March 26th: Dubai World Cup - 17days & Ghostzapper74
