Tournaments

Handicapping tournaments (also called contests) are competitions where players predict the outcomes of selected horse races. Based on the results of your wagers, your tournament balance will increase or decrease throughout the event.

The player with the highest tournament bankroll at the end of the contest wins.

Most tournaments are real money (live bankroll) tournaments, meaning all wagers are placed on real races with real payouts.

These contests are a fun way to test your racing knowledge, compete against other players, and win cash prizes or tournament entries.
