2001 Cal-Cup Fantasy Challenge
Are you up to the Challenge?
On November 3rd, the twelfth annual California Cup will be held during the Oak Tree meeting at Santa Anita Race Course. The California Thoroughbred Breeders Association and the Oak Tree Racing Association are giving you the opportunity to test your handicapping skills against players from across the globe in the
2001 California Cup Fantasy Challenge.
What do you win?
Besides the glory of having the winning stable, the Oak Tree Racing Association and the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association has provided prizes for the top ten finishers in the Cal-Cup Fantasy Challenge.
First prize will be a T.P. Haigh lithograph of Seabiscuit signed and
numbered.. Finishers two through
ten will receive valuable merchandise from the Oak Tree Racing Association
and the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association.
Additionally, the names of the top ten stables will appear in the December issue of the California Thoroughbred.
How do you play?
You are allowed to choose a Fantasy Stable of 7 California-breds. Each stable's objective is to score as many points as possible. Points will be allotted to horses finishing in the top three positions in each of the seven Cal-Cup Stakes races.
We have provided the early bird nominations for each of the seven divisional events. Although the early bird nominations are a great resource, you are not limited to those choices because horses may be nominated to Cal-Cup up until October 25, 2001.
When you sign up for the Fantasy Challenge, your email will be saved with your stable name and password. During the days leading up to Cal Cup, you will receive handicapping information via email to help with your stable selection. After the entries are drawn on Wednesday, October
31st, you will then be sent an email with the entries and be able to select your stable.
How is the challenge scored?
Each of the seven stakes races Cal-Cup Day are worth three points to the winner, two points for the runner up, and a single point for claiming the show spot. The California Cup Classic will be worth twice as many points for each spot. (6,4, and 2) As a tie-breaker, you will be asked to estimate the attendance for Cal Cup
XII.
