Equibase
Company today announced separate handicapping tournaments on Friday and
Saturday of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships with $10,000 in total cash
prizes. 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. The
tournaments are free to enter at equibase.com and open to anyone 18 and
older.
“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 David Siegel, president of
TrackMaster.
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 Bob
Elliston, executive vice president and COO of Breeders’ Cup. “These contests
will encourage all fans to closely follow the horses as they prepare for and
then compete in these outstanding races.”
