4. Challenge Bankroll and Placing Wagers:

On-Track: Each participant will be issued a player card used for all wagers on self-service machines only. This card contains the “real money” bankroll of $300. Upon receipt of the player card, participant should test the card to insure it is working properly. Players will receive a four digit PIN number which secures the card much like an ATM card. If a player loses his/her card or the card is not working, the player should immediately email chris@dmtc.com. All wagers must be placed through self-service machines, located throughout the facility. The self-service machines do not print out wagering vouchers. However, previous wagers can be reviewed on the self-service machines. Wagers will not be accepted through mutuel tellers. Players must place all wagers personally. No person shall directly or indirectly act as an intermediary, transmitter or agent in placing wagers for the player, unless expressly authorized by Challenge Officials. Official track rulings will apply to wagers and Challenge scoring is based on official mutuel payoffs at Del Mar. If a player wagers on a track other than Del Mar for purposes of the contest, the player will be subject to disqualification. Balances will be available for withdrawal a few minutes after the final race is declared official.

TVG.com: On the day of the Challenge on TVG.com, the player will be prompted to select their main TVG Account or their TVG Challenge account. The Challenge wagers must be placed through the TVG Challenge account which will be loaded with the $300 starting bankroll. If a player has purchased multiple entries, they will have the option to choose which Challenge account they would like to use at log-in. Players are recommended to open two different browser windows and log into each Challenge account in different windows to place wagers. Official track rulings will apply to wagers and Challenge scoring is based on official mutuel payoffs at Del Mar. If a player wagers on a track other than Del Mar for purposes of the contest, the player will be subject to disqualification.

5. Advance Wagering: Advance wagering is not permitted unless prior express approval has been obtained by a Challenge Official. Wagers must be placed after the race prior has been declared official. This rule is designed to maintain an accurate leader-board. If a player needs to advance wager for any reason, please email chris@dmtc.com. Challenge Officials will decide if an advance wager will affect the integrity of the leader-board. All decisions of the Challenge Officials are final and penalties for violating this rule will be at the sole discretion of Challenge officials.

6. Scratches/Non-Starters: If a horse is scratched after a wager is placed, it is the player’s responsibility to change his/her selection prior to the race subject to all other Challenge wagering rules. If a player is unable to change his/her selection(s) due to a late scratch, DMTC Challenge officials will rule on a case by case basis whether the scratch prohibited the player from wagering the minimum amount of races or minimum Challenge total. The player may not be assessed a penalty for such particular action (but still may be subject to penalties in the future) for falling short of the Challenge wagering rules assuming he/she had placed wagers on the specific scratched horse and those wagers would have surpassed minimum per race requirements. No penalties will be assessed on wagers involving any horses ruled as non-starters by stewards.

7. Ties: In the result of a tie, cash prize money will be divided equally among the players involved. If there is a tie for the last prize position that offers a NHC or DM Summer entry, the player with the most money wagered during the Challenge will be declared the winner. If there is still a tie, the player with the most money wagered in the last Challenge race, then, most money wagered in the second to last race, etc., until a winner is declared.

8. Taxes and Withholding: For any wager that triggers tax withholding, the withholding amount will be automatically deducted from the player’s bankroll. For Challenge scoring purposes, withholding is added back into the player’s score. Liability for any and all federal or CA state taxes is solely the responsibility of prize winners. Without a valid taxpayer identification number (TIN), prize award payouts will be subject to backup withholdings of 30%.

9. Standings and Results: Officials will provide a standings link expected to be updated after each race but various issues could delay the score postings. All standings are unofficial until the final results are audited. Players are

encouraged to maintain an accurate record of their wagers and scoring. Results will be emailed to participants and posted on the standings link shortly after the final race.

10. Eligibility: A contestant may be asked to provide a photo id to determine age and/or identity. Players must be at least 18 years of age to participate in the Challenge and at least 21 years old to qualify for the NHC in Las Vegas. If a player is not 21 by the start of the NHC or unable to participate for any reason, the next highest eligible finisher will take his/her place. The following are ineligible to participate: Licensed Trainers, employees of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club (DMTC) or any of their subsidiaries or members of the immediate families of the foregoing. Horse owners must declare ownership of their horses entered in any Challenge race to Challenge Officials before the first Del Mar race.

DMTC reserves the right to amend the rules and change, alter or cancel the Challenge at any time for any reason or no reason without prior notice. If for any reason there is a cancellation of races, the contest may be based on the races completed during the event or substitute races from other tracks may be assigned by Challenge Officials. All players must make their own selections independently of every other player in the contest. Participants are prohibited from coordinating their selections with other players, such as two or more players coordinating multiple bankrolls wagering on one particular race and covering several different horses in a pattern that would be viewed as an unfair advantage.
