BARGAIN BRED RACING SERIES & BREEDING CORNER

BARGAIN BRED RACING SERIES NEWS

A new website is on its way. Much of the data has not been updated. Below are the new breeding rules.

Bargain bred is a term created in the older version of the sim found at DerbyFever.com. A bargain bred was a horse whose pedigree cost less than 100 points. As Derby Fever has moved forward with game improvements and adjustments the bargain bred has been eliminated from the vocabulary of the game. 

The bargain bred lives on in the Bargain Bred Racing Series. We have defined a bargain bred as a scratch bred runner that cost less than 120 points. The runner can be bred using breeding points or credits.

To be guaranteed eligibility for the series proof of cost must be presented. A screen shot of your “my shares” link after you have selected the sire, dam sire and dam’s dam sire is required.  Paste this screen shot in the body of an email along with the name of your runner. Send this email to me and your runner will be loaded in the database of eligible runners for the series. 

Most runners in the series are bred by participating trainers however you can claim or purchase from the auction runners that can be deemed eligible for the series. For a runner of this nature his pedigree must be an “OBVIOUS” bargain bred. Meaning if the current cost of pedigree is over 100 points it is very likely to be denied entry to the series. This rule also applies to those runners that are bred but no screen shot recorded. As long as they are obvious I will allow entry to the series.

Please keep in mind that I reserve the right to deny entry to any runner.  

Screen Shots

If you are using Windows 8, 7 or Vista there is a snipping tool built into windows to help you get screen shots. You can search UTUBE for how to videos.  

Another screen shot tool is cropper. It is a free tool that can be found using a google search.

You can also use the “print screen” button on your computer. The screen shot tool copies what you see on your whole screen. You can then paste it into Paint, or word. The only issue here is you might need to crop the screen shot as it captures your entire screen.

Nominating Runners

You can nominate your runner to a race two different ways. One way is to email me with the horse name and race you would like to nominate your runner. The other way is probably the most common way of nominating to races. Go to our message board and look for a thread regarding the set of races you wish to nominate, go into the thread and post the name of your runner and the race you wish to nominate.

Help Support the BBRS

The Bargain Bred Racing Series is set up as a residency. So if you have a stable you run just bargains in or a stable not already part of a residency, your support will be appreciated. All credits earned will be put into races restricted for bargain breds. So if you have a free stable keep the BBRS in mind.

Credit donations are always welcome. If you would like to make a donation the credit account for the Bargain Bred Racing Series is bbrs.
