A live-money tournament with a $500 entry fee, of which $250 will be allocated to the prize pool and $250 for each player's live bankroll, will offer contestants the opportunity to place Win, Place, Show, Trifecta, Exacta, or Quinella wagers on a minimum of five races at Aqueduct and no more than five total races combined from either Gulfstream Park West or Churchill Downs.

One seat, including entry fees to the 2018 Belmont Stakes Challenge in June at Belmont Park, will also be offered, if there is a minimum of 126 entries.
