Sim Magic – Breeders Bowl and the Division Leaders
Sim Magic – Breeders Bowl and the Division Leaders
As most of you may know it is one of the targets in the sim to be a top the Division Rankings, not like in other sports, there is one Champion Horse, but there are many each season. One is crowned best of the best, but several have high reputations in their Division. In about 24 hours we will see the final cards announced for the Breeders Bowl this season, a event, where the best in each division fight out their “champion” in a 16 race card. This week California will be the place to be for all horse racing fans.
What i wanna look at in Sim Magic is, where the Division Ranking Leaders line-up, and how good their form going into the Breeders Bowl is.

Thats a look at the Older Horses Division Leaders, as you can see, most of them come to the Breeders Bowl without Breeders Bowl experience, so nowadays it often is a once in a lifetime chance. I hope to get a special edition of Sim magic ready for tommorow afternoon, to look at the 3yo Division Leaders.
