How Does The Draftstars Horse Racing Contest Work?

The horse racing contests work similar to other sports on Draftstars, however there are a few differences.

The first thing you will notice is that there is no salary cap when selecting your horses.

Players will simply select 1 horse in each race.

The second change is to the scoring system. Final scores will be based on the official S-TAB dividends converted to points.

For example, a horse that wins and pays a dividend of $12 would receive 12 points, and horse that places and pays a dividend of $2.40 would receive 2.4 points. Horses that win will receive both win and place dividends as points, horses that place will receive just the place dividends as points.
