Check out the lockdown lowdown on our fantasy horse racing game

We’re running another FREE fantasy US horse racing contest this Thursday, May 14th. Once again, the action starts with the first race at Gulfstream Park at 6pm, so be sure to get your entries in before then!

It’s another mixed card with 10 races on the turf and dirt at the Florida venue where the glorious weather of last week has disappeared, and there is now a 70% chance of rain over in the Sunshine State.

There are likely to be plenty of non-runners, so don’t forget to keep tabs on your stable. If you do have a late non-runner, you can always replace your selection with another. Just click on the “Quick player replace” tab to make a change. This can be done at any time before the race in question starts.

Here’s a quick reminder of the rules before we try and find some value selections.

Put simply, horses finishing in the top four places in each race are awarded points as follows:

W (Win)- 5 pts

P (Place- 2nd place)- 3 pts

S (Show- 3rd place)- 2 pts

F (Fourth)- 0.75 pts

The aim of the game is to collect the most points across the card. Do that and you net your share of £/€1,000!

You get an overall budget of €21 to use over all 10 races at Gulfstream Park. The horse salaries range from €3 (big fancies) to €1 (outsiders) and you pick one horse each race. No betting, no forecasts and no placepots. Just a simple “pick a horse” style.
