| Cal-Expo and the California Amateur Driving Club (CADC) Presents | |||||||||||
| Presents The Sixth Annual | |||||||||||
| East vs West Invitational Amateur Driving Challenge | |||||||||||
| Dates: | Friday April 15 and Saturday April 16, 2010 | ||||||||||
| Races: | 3-4 per night to be determined by Race Secretary and Cal-Expo. 8-horse fields targeted. | ||||||||||
| Horses: | Entered as usual but without designated drivers | ||||||||||
| Drivers: | Drivers owning or training entered horse will be assigned to drive that horse | ||||||||||
| The West team will provide a standby driver in case of last minute illness. | |||||||||||
| Posts will be drawn in usual (random) fashion. | |||||||||||
| Purses: | Purses will be increased from their base level by $200 per race | ||||||||||
| Points: | Only team points will be awarded | ||||||||||
| Points will be accumulated based on the official finish position of each horse in the race according to | |||||||||||
| the chart below. | |||||||||||
| For the purposes of the chart only, "Starters" will be the number of horses that start the race for the team | |||||||||||
| with the fewer number of horses in a particular race times 2. For example, if there are 9 horses programmed, | |||||||||||
| 5 for the East team and 4 for the West team, and one of the 4 West team's horses are scratched, while there | |||||||||||
| would be 8 actual horses that race, the number of starters for point purposes would be 6. | |||||||||||
| If there are an unbalanced number of horses that race for each team, the unbalanced portion for the team with | |||||||||||
| the greater number of horses racing will be ignored for point purposes only. Using the above example, the | |||||||||||
| two East team's horses that finish "worst" of their 5 would be ignored for point purposes only. | |||||||||||
| Other: | Any rule not specifically addressed above or otherwise established by CADC will be decided by CADC | ||||||||||
| Executive Committee or Race Office as appropriate | |||||||||||
| No $20 minimum drive fee to be levied. 5% Drive fee for 1st to 5th will go to CADC. | |||||||||||
| All West Team drivers must be CADC members in good standing. | |||||||||||
