Beginning May 18, 2017, $10 Super Satellite contests will be held each week through June 17 that will qualify
players for a $50 entry fee to the Dog Days Satellite Contest on June 24. The Dog Days Satellite will qualify
players to the $650 Dog Days of Summer Tournament Sept. 9-10.
Players will be allowed to play in one $10 Super Satellite contest each Thursday, Friday, and/or Saturday with
the highest individual score from each three-day contest period determining the winner. Players may choose to
play one of three selected tracks (eight races at each track) each Thursday, Friday, and/or Saturday. Each entry is
$10, but players may participate only once per day and each day must pay a $10 entry fee if they choose to play.
Each week, one winner for every 5 entries will receive a $50 entry to the June 24 Dog Days Satellite Contest.
The Super Satellite contest format requires entrants to select one horse in each of the eight contest races and submit the selections before entry deadline. Points will be awarded for selections based on the official mutuel payoffs based on a mythical $20 across-the-board wager. One entry per person per day. Entrants must be 21 years of
age or older.
The highest score from each three day contest period will determine the winner. For example, Player A may
have the highest score of 800 on Thursday of the contest period but would not beat Player B who scores 900
points on the Saturday of the same contest period.
Scores will not be posted until the end of the contest period.
The three-day contest periods will begin on May 18, May 25, June 1, June 8 and June 15.
Official entry forms will be available at the third level Information Center each contest day. Entries must complete and submitted along with the $10 fee prior to the entry deadline. Entrants must have an MVP Rewards
player card to participate.
Each contest day, players can choose one of three selected tracks to play. Each contest track will have eight contest races. Each entry form will list the tracks and contain the contest races from the tracks. Players pick one
track and then one horse in each race. Players will be awarded the amount of points that equals the total dollar
amount of the official mutuel return on their selections based on a mythical $20 across-the-board wager. No
changes will be allowed once entries have been submitted.
Points will be awarded based on the official outcome of the race card at the contest track. Players will be awarded the amount of points that equals the total dollar amount of the official mutuel return on their selections based
on a mythical $20 across-the-board wager. For example: If a player’s selection finishes first and the official mutuel results are as follows: $6.00 to win; $4.00 to place; $2.40 to show, the player will receive 124 points. If a
player’s selection finishes second and returns $15.00 to place; and $8.80 to show, the player would receive 238
points.
The maximum point payoffs per race for win, place, and show will be capped in the following manner. The
maximum points possible for win will be 600 points, for place 400 points; and for show 200 points.
The contest winner will be the player accumulating the most points in an individual contest over the threeday contest period.
Official results are based on the official payouts.
The contest winner(s) will receive a June 24 Dog Days Satellite Contest entry. One player for each FIVE entries
will receive a $50 entry.
Extra entry fees from each period will be divided with 60% being paid to the player with the highest score that
did not win a Dog Days Satellite entry each period; 40% will be aggregated over the entire contest span and will
be paid as a bonus to the player that scores the highest individual contest score over the entire contest span. For
example, with 16 entries there will be three winners receiving a $50 entry; $6 will be paid to the fourth highest
scorer and $4 will be added to the bonus pool. Thirty-one entries would results in six $50 entry winners with $6
going to the seventh highest scorer and $4 to the bonus pool etc.
In the event of a tie, the prizewinner will be the player selecting the most first place horses. If a tie still exists, the
winner will be determined by a coin toss.
In the event of a scratch, selections will be replaced with the wagering favorite.
