3. The Contest includes a series of 15 Graded Stakes races, comprised of Kentucky Derby preps.
4. A minimum of 10 of the Graded Stakes races are mandatory as part of a player’s 30 race total.
5. The balance of the 30 thoroughbred race total will be “Player’s Choice” from any North American track with entries and results listed in Equibase. (www.equibase.com)
6. Play will be allowed from Wednesday to Sunday weekly and US/Canadian Holidays as posted.
7. No play allowed on Mondays or Tuesdays unless specified as a US/Canadian Holiday. (Monday, April 9th is a Canadian Holiday)
8. Players may play a maximum of three individual races per day.
9.A scratched selection or cancelled race will count as no action (no bet); and that bet or portion thereof will be refunded. Alternates or Post Time Favorites will not be applied.
10. Players may "pre-post" their request to NULLIFY the race should any of their selected horses Scratch. Failure to post this intention will result in the race being scored with the remaining selections and the scratch portion being REFUNDED.
11. To place an "official play" and receive credit for the results the play must be posted at least one full minute prior to the "official off time" as stated at Equibase. It is the Player’s responsibility to ensure their PaceAdvantage time stamp is correct.
12.If the time stamp and the "official off time" are the same, or later, and your selection "loses", your selection will count as an official play as your intention was clear.
13. Wagering Format: Bankroll Builder
- All players begin with a $2,000 Bankroll
- Players may wager a maximum of 10% of their Bankroll per day (ie. Day 1 = $2,000 x 10% = $200). Subject wagering amount is established and fixed before the start of a day's wagering, and does not change thru out the day.
- The 10% (ie. $200 on Day1) is the total combined amount a player may wager on any single day
- Daily winnings and losses are added or subtracted from the Player’s Bankroll.
- The resulting balance becomes the base Bankroll for the Player’s next day of wagering.
14. All bets have a minimum factor of $1.00 and must total at least $2.00 to be valid. There is no minimum bet per race other than reaching the $2.00 threshold. However, you only have 30 races to leverage your bankroll.
15. If players are posting their daily plays prior to the previous day's results being posted it is their responsibility to ensure they don't play more than their current 10% bankroll.
16. If players inadvertently overbet their daily amount their score will be reduced regressively from last play to first by reducing the dollar amount bet, then individual bets, then the entire race until their bet fits within the guidelines.
17. Wager Types
- Players may make Win, Place and Exacta bets or any combination thereof, using a maximum of 3 distinct betting interests per race.
- Players may bet multiple horses to Win or Place in the same race as long as they don’t exceed the maximum of 3 distinct betting interests per race.
- An entry selection must be explicitly stated as such or the posted play will be scored as stated. (ie. Entry of #1 and #1A will be scored as such if posted as #1/#1A ~ if you post only part of the entry and that selection scratches, you will have no action (no bet) for that race. ***this is important***
- Further to entries, if you post only part of the entry (ie. 1A) and the other half of the entry actually wins or places, the player shall be awarded similar to what would take place at the race track. The purpose of the Entry Rule is to protect the player from late scratches.
- If a wager ends up being No Action, the player may post a new selection to take its place.
- It is recommended that when placing your bet, you state the number and name of the entry. The name of the entry will supersede the number in case of discrepancy.
18. Players must make a wager on 30 races during the contest period to be considered an official entry and qualify for Prizes and P.A.C.S. Points.
