Week 3 of the TIF BetMakers Summer Prop Contest relies heavily on the stakes action at both Saratoga and Del Mar. Dallas Baker, head of international operations for contest sponsor The BetMakers, has set the props for this week.

A player’s four best scores over whichever of the eight weeks of the contest they play count towards the overall standings. There is plenty of time to improve on those scores. Players are reminded to keep track of their answers as once they submit their contest entry each week, they will not be able to revisit the answers.

Winners are contacted either late Saturday or early Sunday.
