Derby Day Contest
Prizes will be awarded to the top five players who pick the closest to six (6) winners, using the fewest selections, of the designated Pick 6 races. In the event there is more than one entry with the same number of winning horses, the player with the fewest total selections will be declared the winner.

Example: If Entry A and Entry B both have six winners, but Entry A used fifteen (15) total selections and Entry B used twelve (12) total selections, then Entry B shall be declared the winner.

Should two (2) or more players select the most winning horses using the same number of selections, those players will split the cash prize equally.

Should a horse race included in the DERBY DAY PICK SIX CHALLENGE, PRESENTED BY YOUBET.COM result in a tie (also known as a "dead heat") for first place, the horse with the longest "win odds" (or larger "win payoff") will be declared the sole winner of that race.
