2020 Del Mar Summer

Online Handicapping Contest

Wednesday, July 10 - Monday, September 7

Official Rules

  1. Format: The Beach Boss | Beat Ray Everyday Contest (“Contest”) is free to enter. Participants place mythical wagers on a designated Del Mar race per racing day beginning July 10, 2020 and ending September 7, 2020. Win, Place or Show wagers only. Contestants may place as many wagers in as many different combinations for a total of up to $100 per race. In order to be eligible to win any prize offered, contestants must wager on a minimum of 20 races. For a race to count for the minimum number requirement, the full $100 must be wagered. Wagers less than $100 will be scored but will not count towards the minimum number of races to qualify for prizes. On occasion, a top stakes race from another track may be added. ONE ENTRY PER PERSON. CONTESTANTS MUST PLACE AND PHYSICALLY SUBMIT THEIR OWN WAGERS FROM THEIR OWN DEVICES AND ANYONE FOUND TO BE SUBMITTING SELECTIONS FOR MORE THAN ONE ENTRY MAY BE DISQUALIFIED.
  2. Scoring: The contestant with the highest mythical score after the last Contest race is the winner. THERE IS A PAYOFF ODDS CAP OF 20-TO-1 ON WIN WAGERS AND 10-TO-1 ON PLACE/SHOW WAGERS. The mythical bankroll is scored like live money and based on net winnings. For example, a $100 wager that loses results in a -$100 score or a $100 wager that pays $850 results in net winnings of $750.

  3. Grand Prize: Grand Prize: Two VIP tickets to the Friday and Saturday 2021 Breeders’ Cup World Championship at Del Mar. Total value $1,000. Grand Prize winners will be required to produce a valid photo I.D. showing the name and address used to enroll in the contest.

    Top 10 Prizes: The top 10 finishers will receive Del Mar prizes. Winners will select from various Del Mar related prize options with the value determined by their finishing position. There will be no substitution of prizes and no cash paid in lieu of stated prizes.

    Beat Ray: All eligible participants that finish ahead of Ray will be entered into a random drawing to determine 40 prizewinners. Prizes include the option of two season passes to the Del Mar 2021 race season or various Del Mar related prize options to be determined. Ray’s results will be posted on the standings page at www.dmtc.com.

  4. Eligibility: Contest participants must be at least 18 years of age by July 10, 2020, to participate.

Only residents of the United States and Canada may win prizes. Residents of other countries are not eligible to win any prizes. Void where prohibited by law.
  5. Placing Contest Wagers: The designated race(s) each day will be a race deemed to offer a competitive wagering challenge. Management reserves the right to select any race as a contest race. For the convenience of contestants, past performances for contest races will generally be available around Noon (PDT) the day before the race is run. Participants may change or cancel their plays at any time up to the Contest closing time of the race, generally the scheduled post time. To change your wagers for a contest race, click on the link for that date under "Upcoming Races." 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 contest wagering rules.
  6. Ties: If there is a tie for prizes, the prize will go to the player with the most money earned on the last contest race day, then second to last contest day, etc. until a winner is declared. If there is still a tie, a one-day contest determined by DMTC will decide the tie.
  7. Conduct of Contest: Contest races will be available as soon as possible. Due to the vagaries of electronic delivery, some races may be available sooner than others and some may not be available at all. If for some reason, a race is not made available, technical issues arise or race days are cancelled, the contest administrators reserve the right to reduce the minimum entry eligibility requirements. Because contest races may be open before the program is finalized, contest numbers may not match program numbers.
  8. Judging and Disputes: Each participant acknowledges and expressly agrees that DMTC, through its management, shall have the sole and exclusive right to interpret all questions and conditions in regard to this Contest and all decisions of DMTC shall be final and binding and by entering the Contest each participant waives and forever relinquishes any and all claims for damage or recourse of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether legal, equitable or otherwise. All questions not covered in these rules shall be decided by the management of the DMTC with those decisions to be final and binding on all participants. DMTC reserves the right to change, alter or cancel the Contest at any time.
