Contestant must place a win and place wager on one horse in 12 mandatory races out of 23 available from Indiana Grand (Races 1-8),
Saratoga (Races 7-12)* and Del Mar (Races 1-9)*. The wager must be placed at a designated location. A minimum of 5 races must be
utilized per entry on races from Indiana Grand. (Indiana Grand Thoroughbred races only.) If a player misses a mandatory race, then a
zero will be credited to his or her account for that race. In the event of cancellation, select races from Golden Gate Fields fitting into
the time frame of the contest will be utilized per Indiana Grand management.
Entries and fields are considered a single wagering interest.
All players begin with an imaginary bankroll of $48. Bankrolls are mythical and may not be cashed in at the end of play.
There is a win payoff cap of 20-1 ($42.00) and a place payoff cap of 10-1 ($22).
The contestant with the highest amassed bankroll total at the end of the last specified race will be declared the winner.
In the event of a tie, the higher placing will be awarded to the contestant with the greater number of first place horses in the contest
races. If the tie still has not been broken, the higher placing will be awarded to the contestant with the highest paying win selection. If
the tie still has not been broken, the higher placing will be awarded to the contestant with the greater number of second place horses
in the contest races.
If the player has multiple entries, contestant may only qualify for one spot at the National Horseplayers Championship. Therefore, if
the contestant places twice in the top three, the next placing down will receive a berth in the National Horseplayers Championship.

receipts for verification. It is the contestant’s responsibility to be aware of any changes in the designated races.
