The first place prize will be $5,000 and the contest pays down to fifth place.

 The headlining tournament will feature top racing action from across the country including:

·         The Man O’War Stakes (GI) from Belmont Park.

·         The American Oaks (GI) and A Gleam Handicap (GII) from Betfair Hollywood Park.

·         The Virginia Derby (GII) and Virginia Oaks (GIII) from Colonial Downs.

·         The Arlington Handicap (GIII), Modesty (GIII) and American Derby (GIII) from Arlington Park.

The last ‘Super-Qualifier’ will take place on Friday evening. Players can compete in the qualifying contest to vie for 10 of seats to the $10,000 Saturday Tournament. The entry fee for the ‘Super-Qualifier’ is $35 and is limited to 58 participants; entries officially close at 5:30pm but capacity may be reached before that time.

Qualifying tournaments for the $10,000 Saturday Tournament will continue into early Saturday afternoon and will be posted on the homepage game board.

As the first DerbyWars NHC Qualifier on August 3 draws nearer, this weekend will feature two more prequalifying events awarding seats into the that contest. Both prequalifying events have reached the maximum number of allowed entries.

The first three prequalifiers to secure seats in the August 3 DerbyWars NHC Qualifier were Tom Anderson (“Yagli”), Matt Milligan (“TracksideJive”) and Bill Downes (“BillyD”). The latter two are competing in both prequalifiers this weekend, looking to secure seats in the August 10 DerbyWars NHC Qualifier.

Saturday’s sensational smorgasbord of stakes races will be strung together in a $600 Graded Stakes Survivor Tournament. The goal will be to select horses to successfully finish ‘on-the-board’ in each of the seven designated graded stakes races to advance to the next round. The last player(s) standing will win the $600 kitty.

The contest features a low entry fee of just $9 and is perfect for all players, especially those which may be new to DerbyWars or are considering the first leap from ‘points’ games to ‘cash’ games. Eighty players will vie for survival through the seven race contest.

The graded stakes comprising this weekend’s $600 Graded Stakes Survivor are as follows (in chronological order from post time):

·         Man O’War (GI) from Belmont Park

·         Modesty (GIII) from Arlington Park
