Jim,
this is what I see from the website. I DO see the things you mentioned above this too.

Is this I am copying here something else man? I admit to not being the brightest bulb in the fixture

I. Description of Handicapping Challenge

Keeneland Association, Inc. ("Keeneland") is offering visitors to its website the chance to win cash and prizes by selecting a horse in each of Keeneland's live races in the 2007 spring race meeting, with the exception of the Royal Chase for the Sport of Kings. (These races will be referred to in these Rules and Regulations as the "live races"). Starting with an imaginary bankroll of zero Challenge Dollars, each player will have the chance to select one horse he or she expects to win or place in each of the upcoming live races in the Keeneland 2007 spring meeting. Players' imaginary bankrolls will not be debited for the selection of horses. If the horse selected by the player finishes first or second in the race, according to the final results as determined by the track stewards, the player's imaginary bankroll will be awarded Challenge Dollars equivalent to the payoff of a two-dollar wager as determined by the official Equibase chart (which may be accessed at www.equibase.com), with the following modifications. First, payoffs of Challenge Dollars awarded to the player's bankroll will be capped at 30-1 odds for first place (or a $62 maximum payoff for that race). If your horse wins, your imaginary bankroll will receive the win payoff only, not win and place. If your horse places, your imaginary bankroll will receive the payoff for place. Second, the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (April 14) is worth triple Keeneland Challenge Dollars, while the Ashland Stakes (April 7), Makers Mark Mile (April 13), Coolmore Lexington (April 21) and the Fifth Third Elkhorn Stakes (April 27) are worth double Keeneland Challenge Dollars. Payoffs in these races will be subject to the same payoff caps outlined above, and then will be doubled for those designated races.

After the last live race of each day, the player who has accumulated the most Challenge Dollars in his or her imaginary bankroll for live races held on that day will be declared the daily winner and will win a bonus prize selected by the contest coordinator from the Keeneland Gift Shop. It will be shipped within 30 days of the close of the contest. Prizes from the Keeneland Gift Shop may not be exchanged or returned for cash. In the event of a tie, bonus prizes will be awarded to each of the daily winners, up to ten winners per day. If there are more than ten daily winners for any given day, Keeneland will randomly select ten of the daily winners to receive bonus prizes.

At the conclusion of the Handicapping Challenge on Friday, April 27, after the last live race, the player with the most Challenge Dollars in his or her imaginary bankroll will be declared the winner and will win the Grand Prize of $3,000. The eligible player who accumulates the second largest imaginary bankroll will win the second prize of $1,200. The eligible player who accumulates the third largest imaginary bankroll will win the third prize of $600. The player who accumulates the fourth largest imaginary bankroll will win the fourth prize of $300. The player who accumulates the fifth largest imaginary bankroll will win the fifth prize of $240. Players who place sixth through tenth will win a gift selected by the contest coordinator from the Keeneland Gift Shop. Winners will be notified within 2 weeks of the contest close about collecting their prize. In the event of a tie based on total bankroll, a tiebreaker will be implemented in the following order:

total win prices paid
number of winners
highest win payoff
random drawing.
During and for a period of time after the Handicapping Challenge, Keeneland will maintain on the Handicapping Challenge Web Site an ongoing list of the bankrolls held by the top players and for each race, the horses entered, horses scratched, and the results and payoffs announced by the racetrack for $2.00 win bets.
