How to Play

The Make the Grade Triple Crown Daily Racing Form Fantasy Game, sponsored by youbet.com, is your opportunity to handicap much more than the three Triple Crown Races. In this unique contest, you're challenged to pick the winners of the 18 graded stakes races run on Kentucky Derby Day, Preakness Stakes Day, and Belmont Stakes Day. The grand prize is $20,000 - winner takes all. There's also Daily Racing Form prizes for the top 10 overall finishers, as well as prizes for the top point scorer after each of the three Triple Crown Race Days. The entry fee for all premium services is $19.95, and you're limited to four (4) entries per person.

MAKE THE GRADE!

The point scale is based on the quality of races. Pick the winner of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, or Belmont - get 50 points each. Correctly picking the winner of any other Grade I race gets you 20 points each. Correct Grade II races score you 15 points each, and you get 10 points for picking the winner of each Grade III. Most points at the end of the 18 races gets you the $20,000 Grand Prize.

THREE BIG RACE DAYS.

Entries are available the Thursday before each Race Day. You have until 12 p.m. Eastern Time on each Race Day to make or change your selections. Keep an eye on the scratchboard though, as it's the player's responsibility to select horses who have not scratched. If your horse does scratch, you have until 12 p.m. Eastern Time on the Race Day to make another selection, or you will not be eligible for points in that particular race. If your horse is a late scratch (after 12 p.m. on a Race Day), you will not be eligible to earn points in that particular race.

WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE.

Because this contest involves 18 races instead of just the three Triple Crown races, you're never out of striking distance from the leaders. With 135 potential points on the line on Belmont Stakes Day, everyone will have the chance for a come-from-behind victory.
