HOW THE TOURNAMENTS WORK

  • Every week features a tournament that begins with three Satellites (Qualifiers) on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and ends with a Saturday Final that awards $10,000 in guaranteed cash prizes – $5,000 to the winner.
  • Each contest requires players to place a mythical $2 Win/Place wager on one horse in pre-selected contest races; 8 races in the Weekday Satellites and 12 races in the Saturday $10K Final.
  • Results are determined by using the actual $2 Win/Place mutuel payoffs for each race with winnings capped at $42 to Win (20/1) and $22 to Place (10/1) per race.
  • In the Weekday Satellites, players may qualify for Saturday’s $10K Guarantee for buy ins of $10 (Wednesday), $15 (Thursday) and $25 (Friday).
  • Players may also buy in directly to the Saturday $10K Gurantee for $100 per entry.
  • Players can purchase up to 3 entries for each contest.
