FORMAT
- Tournament races are Races 1 – 12 from Saratoga (TB) on Saturday, June 8, 2024.
- The tournament ends with the Belmont Stakes (Race 12). Any live races offered by Saratoga following the Belmont Stakes race will not be included.
- Due to technical limitations, the Daily Double linking Race 12 to Race 13 may be included on the Wager Menu for this tournament, but will not count for tournament wagers and tournament players should not wager into that pool.
- Permitted wagers are Win, Place, Show, Exacta, Trifecta and Daily Double.
- No Superfecta, Super High 5, Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5 or Pick 6. The Parlay function for Win, Place and Show wagers is not permitted in this contest.
- Players must wager on a minimum of five (5) contest races at a minimum of $100 on each of those five (5) races.
- Players must wager, at minimum, their entire $1,000 bankroll during the contest.
- There are no maximums – players may wager as much as they want, including the winnings from their bankroll, whenever they wish.
- For purposes of this contest, a Daily Double wager counts as a bet on one (1) contest race. For example, a Daily Double wager on Race 4 (linking to Race 5) will count as a wager on Race 4.
- In the unlikely event of a cancellation of a race card, Tournament Officials reserve the right to substitute races from another racetrack or cancel the tournament and issue refunds to all participants.
