Back On Track Punters Challenge – https://punters.hollywoodbets.net/#/

The Hollywoodbets Back On Track Punters Challenge gets underway this Sunday at Hollywoodbets Greyville, with up to R1 Million in prizes on offer between 7th June and 25th July. The competition is open to all Hollywoodbets and TabGold account holders and is free to enter.

The challenge involves picking one horse per race for all race meetings held in KZN at either Hollywoodbets Greyville or Hollywoodbets Scottsville on the competition website: http://punters.hollywoodbets.net.

Each selection is awarded points based on where the selected horse finishes in its race, plus additional points based on the starting price of the winner (refer the Ts&Cs).

There is R10,000 to be shared amongst the Top 20 on the Punters leaderboard at the end of each race meeting, whilst on feature race days, which includes the World Sports Betting Guineas Day, Daily News Day and Scottsville Sprint Day, the daily prize money will be doubled to R20,000.

There is also an exciting R50,000 bonus on each race day for anyone selecting all the winners on the card. Should there be more than one winner, then the prize money will be divided amongst the winners for that day.

Therefore, with a minimum of fifteen race meetings, including three feature race meetings, there is a guaranteed R180,000 to be won. With the R50,000 bonus available for each of the race meetings, there’s an additional R750,000 to be won. The Vodacom Durban July meeting will entail a mega prize, with at least R100,000 up for grabs for the stand-alone meeting.

The previous Sizzling Punters’ Challenge, which ran during March 2020, saw over 13,000 people participate in that competition. Hollywoodbets and TabGold account holders each get a single entry, so a player with accounts with both companies will be entitled to two entries.

This Back On Track Punters’ Challenge will run alongside the Hollywoodbets Back On Track Challenge for Trainers, Jockeys, Racehorses, Grooms and Apprentices, which was launched on 1 June 2020.

Hollywoodbets Brand and Communications Manager Devin Heffer is excited for the return of the competition, as all stakeholders in racing are now involved.

“This competition is a fantastic initiative for all horse racing enthusiasts, as well as those new to racing. The game is easy to play and easy to follow. We look forward to seeing how Day 1 of the competition goes this Sunday, especially with double points, and double the prize money on the WSB Guineas, WSB Fillies Guineas and the Independent on Saturday Drill Hall Stakes.”

Gold Circle’s Events and Marketing Executive Steve Marshall, who has been hard at work with the return of racing, says this competition is another way to encourage new blood to the sport of horse racing. “Gold Circle and Hollywoodbets have been working hard to make KZN racing’s offer something special for all stakeholders, and this punters’ competition is one that rewards punters for their form study and hard work. We look forward to seeing all TabGold and Hollywoodbets account holders take their selections and enjoying the exciting racing we have lined up for Champions Season!”The Hollywoodbets Back On Track Challenge kicks off with the World Sports Betting Guineas Day this Sunday, 7th June at Hollywoodbets Greyville, where there will be prize money of R20,000 guaranteed to be won.

Terms & Conditions – Hollywoodbets Back on Track Jockey Challenge

The Challenge will run for the period from 1 June 2020 to 25 July 2020.
A minimum of ten (10) race meetings must be completed in this period for the challenge to be validated. If ten race meetings are not completed, this challenge shall be void. If fewer race meetings are held than originally scheduled but exceed ten, then the prize money shall be pro-rated. By way of example, if only fifteen race-meetings are completed and twenty were scheduled, then the total prize money shall be pro-rated as 15/20 x R150 000 = R112 500.
This Challenge is open to all jockeys riding at race meetings held at Hollywoodbets Greyville and Hollywoodbets Scottsville.
Total prize money to the value of R150 000 shall be shared amongst the top 5 jockeys as follows:

Winner R75 000

2^nd Place R30 000

3^rd place R20 000

4^th place R15 000

5^th Place R10 000

Points System

Every point counts! Points are allocated according to the official finishing position of each horse (and jockey) in the race. The number of points on offer is dependent on the number of horses participating (official runners) in the race.

Points are awarded in accordance with the jockeys’ finishing positions i.e. in a 10-horse field, the winner will be awarded 10 points, 2^nd 9 points and so on with the last horse being awarded 1 point. Similarly, in a 16-horse field, the winner will be awarded 16 points and the last horse just a single point.

A horse/jockey combination must complete the race to be awarded any points. If a horse is disqualified it shall be relegated to last place, awarded 1 point, and all other affected horses promoted in the race finish.

Where a dead-heat is declared for any position, then dead-heat rules will apply and the contestants will each receive half of the aggregated points on offer. So, for example, a dead-heat for 3^rd and 4^th in the 10-horse race will see the affected jockeys each being awarded 7.5 points ((8+7)/2).

Cumulative points awarded will be updated after each race and each race meeting.

Points earned at each race meeting over the period will be totaled and the top five jockeys will be awarded the prize money as detailed above. In the event of a dead-heat for any of the top five positions, then the dead-heat rules will apply.

Additional Points allocation

Additional points shall be awarded on the following basis:

All jockeys and apprentices are eligible for this challenge. Where an apprentice fills one of the top three positions in this competition then he shall not qualify for the apprentice challenge. Should an apprentice finish 4^th or 5^th in this competition, then he shall revert to the apprentice challenge and the next placed jockey shall move up a position on the log. An apprentice may only be eligible for one prize from either the jockey challenge or apprentice challenge.
