Fantasy Horse Racing League

Running Aces will be holding a Fantasy horse racing league that is free to play for 60 people where they can win their share of $1,000.

The point earnings at Running Aces for those 4 horses during the contest period will be tracked and the total points of all 4 horses combined will be the “score” for that fantasy player. Points are awarded as follows: a win = 9 points, a second = 5 points, a third = 3 points.

The Fantasy Contest standings will be updated every week with standings published on the contest FB group page, our Announcer’s FB feed, as well as on our Live Racing Broadcast.

The top 4 Fantasy Stables at the end of the contest period by total points will be awarded the prize money from the prize pool, with an award ceremony in the winner’s circle.
