Racing Dudes Kentucky Derby Handicapping Challenge: The Picks

After a couple weeks off, the Racing Dudes Handicapping Challenge is back in a big way! We brought back every single person who has participated in the Challenge since we’ve started. Yep, here’s their chance for redemption! And because it’s the Kentucky Derby, we are going to introduce some new rules!

Rules:

Each person starts with a mythical $1,000 bankroll. Challenge races will include races from Churchill Downs on Saturday, May 3, ending with the Kentucky Derby. Wager types permitted are Win, Place, Show, Exacta and Trifecta only. There is no minimum to bet per race other than the Kentucky Derby where a minimum of $100 must be bet, totaling the $1,000 wagered. The final Challenge race will be the Kentucky Derby. There are no caps on payouts. The player with the highest #DudesChallenge score after the Kentucky Derby on Saturday is the winner!
