Given and horses from his 168 stables earned the cumulative points championship from this weekend’s Breeders’ Bowl races, leading the field by 135 points. Beerkeg and Lenny finished tied for second, though Lenny did have two winners to Beerkeg’s one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assigning points on a 60, 40, 25, 10, and 5 basis for finishing one through five in a Breeders’ Bowl race, Given totaled 295 points for the meet, with Lenny and Beerkeg at 160. All told, Given won three races and had a runner in the top five 11 times. Lenny was the only other trainer to win multiple races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beerkeg led after Friday’s races (150 points) mainly on the strength of his Filly Juvy Turf performance, where he swept the exacta and also placed fourth and fifth. Given was at 135, doing most of his damage that day with a one-two performance of his own in the Juvenile Turf. Given’s 160 points earned on Saturday (matching the total points his nearest rivals accumulated all weekend) assured him the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tees finished fourth with 105 points, having finished second in both the F and M Turf and Mile, while also having the third-place horse in the latter event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The complete results follow, and remember tied for 46th isn’t tied for last place by any means. I, for one, didn’t have an entrant in any of the races, and all these people had horses in the top five. Congratulations to all:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
