Week two of the 2020 TIF Summer Prop Contest features props focused on TVG Haskell Invitational Day at Monmouth Park. Without question, Monmouth is leading the charge as it relates to offering more modern bet types to customers.
Peter Thomas Fornatale, host of the In The Money Players’ Podcast and head of the ITM Podcast Network, has set the props for contestants in this week’s contest.

A player’s top four scores will count towards the overall standings, so it is OK if you miss a week but increases the likelihood of a better score the more you play. The 2019 contest was decided by just one point in the final week.
The top three finishers each week will get to choose amongst three backstretch development 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, the Belmont Child Care Association and the Edwin J Gregson Foundation, based in southern California.
