Each year, the judgment of a panel of horse racing experts uses a pre-determined point system in order to achieve a meticulous selection of horses that is based mainly on the general outline rankings and the point standings. Basically this system ranks horses in order of preference based upon performance in Breeders' Cup Challenge Races, a point system, and the judgment of a panel of racing experts.
