The Fall Challenge came down to the final race as winner Edward Deicke went all-in with a $3,240 win bet on number 2 Miss Lizzy. Second place finisher Mike Mulvihill also had the winner but his $2,500 win wager fell just short.
Deicke, from Hillsboro Beach, FL, finished with a final bankroll of $16,848 over Mulvihill's $13,340, plus additional prizes of $50,500 and $20,500 respectively. With prizes, Deicke takes home more than $67,000. Both players wagered their $2,000 starting bankroll on-line via TVG.
Third place finisher Cory Shorr also hit the last race, a trifecta vaulting him to $12,046 while participating on-track at Del Mar.
The top three received 2024 $10,000 Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge at Del Mar entries. Also awarded were National Horseplayers Championship (NHC) spots.
Participants vied for $115,000 in total prizes awarded to the top ten, competing from either on-track at Del Mar or online on TVG.com.
