Make the Grade by picking winners! You earn points for each winning selection, based on the following point scale:
Total points possible is 365 (Kentucky Derby Day - 125 possible points; Preakness Day - 105; Belmont Day - 135)
Points carry over from week to week, and your final Make the Grade Daily Racing Form Fantasy Game score is based on your cumulative score for all three Triple Crown Race Days.
To calculate a sample Race Day score, suppose you had the following selections on Kentucky Derby Day:
| Race | Horse | Points |
|---|---|---|
| GI - Kentucky Derby | Horse A | 50 |
| GI - Woodford Reserve Turf Classic | Horse B | 0 |
| GI - Humana Distaff | Horse C | 20 |
| GII - Churchill Downs | Horse D | 15 |
| GIII - Churchill Downs Distaff Turf Mile | Horse E | 0 |
| GIII - La Troienne | Horse F | 10 |
In this example, your score would be 95 points. You only receive points if your horse wins a race. No points are awarded for finishing anywhere but first place.
You will make selections like this for Kentucky Derby Day, Preakness Stakes Day, and Belmont Stakes Day, and the player with the highest cumulative score will win the $20,000 Grand Prize. Additionally, the player with the highest score for each individual Race Day will win a prize from Daily Racing Form.
Please refer to the official rules for further details.
Be sure to select your horses prior to 12 p.m. Eastern Time on each Race Day. Keep in mind it's your responsibility to select horses who have not been scratched.
Scores will be posted on the Monday following each Race Day.
* based upon cumulative points after the final race day
Tiebreakers. Should a tie exist between two (2) or more entrants eligible for any prize, the winner will be the player that correctly picked the winner of the most races. If a tie persists for the DRF Grand Prize ($20,000), the entrants will split the prize. In the case of any other "DRF Cumulative Prize" or a "DRF Race Day Prize," all tied entrants will receive the same prize.
All prize awards are subject to the official rules posted on this website.
