How to Play
- Place a $10 Show wager on a single horse in any race from Fair Grounds on Nov. 22, 23 or 24. Each day is a separate contest.
- One contest wager per race: only a player's first $10 Show wager on a single horse or entry will count in the contest.
- Wagers must be placed for exactly $10 to Show; combination Win/Place/Show, Win/Show and Place/Show wagers will not qualify.
- Wagers using multiple horses will not qualify.
- Scratches must be rebet; wagers on scratched horses will not count as contest wagers.
How to Win
- The player who records a winning contest wager ($10 Show) in the most races on the Fair Grounds card will be declared the winner.
- A TwinSpires Online Handicapping Championship Entry will be awarded to the contest winner and runner up.
- Tiebreaker: In the event of a tie for any position awarding a Nov. 30 Championship Entry, total winnings from all contest wagers will be used to break the tie.
In the event a player who has already won the maximum 2 entries to the Nov. 30 Championship finishes high enough to win another entry, s/he will be awarded the cash equivalent of the entry fee ($500).
Results will be posted on this page on a next-day basis.
