2010 FDH Fantasy Triple Crown Draft

On this past week’s edition of THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER on SportsTalkNetwork.com (Wednesdays at 9 pM EDT), we held our annual Triple Crown fantasy draft. To add an extra layer of challenge, we conducted it before this Wednesday’s draw for position at the Kentucky Derby – indeed, some of the horses drafted have already been held out of the Derby and may get their first chances to run at the Preakness.

League guidelines are as follows:

^ Three-round standard serpentine draft.
^ Points awarded separately for each race in the Triple Crown, with results being totalled after the Belmont.
^ Points for each race awarded as follows: 15 points for a win, 10 points for place, 5 points for show.
^ First tiebreaker after completion of the Triple Crown is most wins in your “stable.”
^ Second tiebreaker after completion of the Triple Crown is the biggest margin of victory for your winner.
