In just one day, the entry box closes for potential supplements
to the three-year-old and older races and all two-year old divisions of the $6
million Breeders Crown Finals on Saturday, Oct. 27 at The Downs at Mohegan Sun
Pocono.
You can
access the Pocono condition sheet here:
Supplemental entries for 3-year-old and open events are due and
payable by 12:00 noon [EDT], Monday, Oct. 15, in the race office at The Downs
at Mohegan Sun Pocono. There are no
supplements for the two-year-old races.
Foreign invitees to the Crown Trot must also declare by noon on
Monday, Oct. 15.
Supplemental declaration amounts vary by division. Click here for
more instructions on supplementing:
The entrance fee is included in the supplemental amount. A minimum
of half the amount of the supplemental fee, minus the entrance fee, will be
added to the purse. This one-time supplemental payment makes a horse eligible
to all subsequent years’ Breeders Crown events under the normal schedule of
payments.
Two-year-olds eligible to the $600,000 freshman events declare in
by 9:00 a.m. Monday, Oct. 15.
Three-year-olds and older horses eligible to their respective
divisions declare in by 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16.
Eliminations, if needed, will occur for two-year-olds on Friday,
Oct. 19 with three-year-old and open elims on Saturday, Oct. 20, both nights
starting at the regular post time of 7:00 p.m. [EDT]
Eliminations split at 12 entries. Because there are no trailers
allowed at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, if 10 or 11 horses enter, the two
highest money earners receive byes and there will be a single elimination to
“qualify” the remaining nine horses for the final.
If there are eliminations, post positions in the Final will be
determined by an open draw with the exception that Elimination winners, in an
order determined by lot, will draw for post positions number one (#1) through
five (#5) in the final. All other finalists, including foreign invitees, will
be placed in an open draw for the remaining post positions. Those horse(s) that
receive a bye into the Final will be in the open draw for post positions in the
Final. All horses that start in the Final receive money.
There will be 24-hour retention barns for eliminations and finals.
The 12 Breeders Crown events will be raced Saturday, Oct. 27 with
an early post time of 5:30 p.m. [EDT]. There will be 15% take-out on all
wagers, on all three days of Breeders Crown competition.
