TIF BETMAKERS SUMMER PROP CONTEST

A player’s top four scores will count towards the overall standings, so it is OK if you miss a week, but the likelihood of a better score increases the more you play. The 2020 contest was decided by a tiebreaker and the 2019 contest was decided by just one point in the final week – every point counts!

The top three finishers each week will get to choose amongst three racing charities which will receive donations. The overall top three finishers in the contest will do the same, and enjoy bragging rights. This summer’s beneficiaries include the Backside Learning Center at Churchill Downs, New Vocations and the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. Click on each of their names to learn more.

Below are the props that contestants will face. The top three finishers each week will be contacted by email late Saturday or Sunday and results published on Monday.
