Good Luck to All Qualifiers from Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino!

• On April 22, 2008, all qualifiers of each monthly contest will make selections in the Adios Amigos Race (last race). each qualifier (or proxy) must register at the Science of Horseplay Turf Club booth by 2:00 pm.

• Final Instructions will be given to all qualifiers at that time and all must sign a statement of understanding regarding prizes and publicity.

• Each qualifier must report to the Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino receptionist (Main office) at 3:00 pm sharp. Qualifiers not reporting by 3:05 PM will be disqualified from any chance at the Grand Prizes. Selection process will take approximately one hour.

• Each qualifier will be seeded as follows:

     * Draw will be held between all 1st place qualifiers to determine selection order 1-4
     * Draw will be held between all 2nd place qualifiers to determine selection order 5-8
     * Draw will be held between all 3rd place qualifiers to determine selection order 9-12
   

• The Grand Prizes will be awarded as follows:

1st place: $2500 • 2nd place: $1500 • 3rd place: $1000 • 4th thru 12th: $250

Be prepared: selection strategy and handicapping skill will be of equal importance in this unique format!

• There will be two rounds of selections.

• The first round selection order will be based on draw seeding.

• The second round selection order will be based on reverse order of draw seeding.

• Contestants will have two minutes to make a selection when turn is designated; failure to designate a selection within allotted time will result in zero points for that selection.

• No changes or substitutions are allowed after selections are made.

• Contestants may select the same horse in each round.

• If a selection is scratched at any time then the total points for that selection is zero.

• If for some reason the Adios Amigos race is not held or the race is declared a “no contest” then the total prize money will be distributed equally amongst all qualifiers.

• The official mutuel prices (Win, Place, Show) for both selections will be totaled as points to determine the THREE Grand Prize winners.

• Ties will not be broken! If total points are equal then the prize money for tied positions will be added and split equally among tied contestants.

• Final results will be announced/posted in the display cases within ONE hour after the last race is posted official. Prizes will also be available at that time through the Science of Horseplay.

All prizes of $1200 or more are subject to state taxes at time of winning. Patrons must show proof of identification at time of drawing and/or pay federal taxes due. Visit Science of Horseplay for details.
