Entries are now open for the 2023 TIF Derby Prop Contest. Below are the 20 props and the tiebreaker facing contest participants. 

The entry portal closes at 11:00 A.M. Eastern on Saturday, May 6. 

Players should keep track of your props as you will not be able to revisit the survey portal once you submit your entry. Should a horse named directly in a prop be scratched, all answers to that prop may be counted as correct.

Winners will be notified by email late on Saturday evening to identify how to direct charitable donations. The top finishers will get to direct $20,000 in donations to four racing charities - Backside Learning Center at Churchill Downs, New Vocations, Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund and Second Stride.
