Doesn't look as though we've had any Breeders Cup competitions for the last few years...........though it's a bit tricky trying to search with DS Search permanently broken......

Following the Ascot Champions Day comp...........the idea being to have occasional competitions for those one-off days that don't merit the usual 'Festival' competitions but which racing fans might want to dabble in.........and following the Champions Day format to make it a bit different from the other racing comps that we have,

So basically I will post the Betting Forecasts from the Sporting Life and those are the odds you will get on your selections, so like ante-post betting you are 'taking the price'

You have to use your judgment as to whether the odds available represent a good bet or not.........if there's anything in there that you think is massively overpriced then pick it !

Obviously we don't want any last minute Johnnies waiting to see how the betting goes so all entries must be in by Friday.

Rules

Pick one horse from each race
Stakes - £2 win or £1 EW
'Usual' bookie terms apply to EW bets
Bets to be settled on odds available as per SL Forecast
Non runner - stake lost
Selections must be posted before Midnight on Friday 30th October 2015

I think that's pretty straightforward but please post any queries and I'll make up some more rules if necessary !.......

I'll only do a selection of races from Saturday evening which are the big races with British, Irish or European interest.........races and prices to follow !

Less than the Champions Day comp but I suppose there's not as much interest in the Breedes Cup..........I'm not that interested to be honest......

I'm already Jumping metaphorically..........perhaps I should have done Wetherby instead

Anyway........one good thing about the US Racing is that they leave plenty of time between races for updates.

Good luck !
