I got this off KD's website:
"The Jockey7 is a new wager where you can make Win, Place, Show, Exacta, and Trifecta wagers on your favorite jockeys each race day and will benefit the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund.
"The Jockey7 wager allows the horseplayer to bet on individual jockeys and they're mounts over Races 4 through 10 on all 5 days of live racing. The Jockey7, whose results are based on a points system for top-four finishes, will be closed for betting before Race 4 and declared official after race 11.
"Under the points system, a win is worth 25 points, second is 12, third is nine and fourth is five, with one point awarded for a late scratch or if a horse is declared a non-starter.
"Once the fields are set, the points are based on the finishes of the horses involved with each Jockey7 betting interest, regardless if there are rider changes. For instance, if a jockey who is listed as an individual betting interest is unable to ride a race and the horse wins with another rider, the winning points stay with the horse and don’t transfer to the jockey who picked up the mount."
