Additional Rules
If your racehorse qualifies for multiple races, it will run in the latest race that is scheduled on Derby Day, meaning Race Twelve has priority all the way down to Race One.
Max three racehorses per stable for the duration of the entire event. In the event that a stable has more than three racehorses qualified into the leaderboard, VHS will select which racehorse(s) to exclude.
Racehorses scheduled for the Derby Day races will be locked in and unable to participate in free races for around 24 hours leading up to the event on May 7.
The owner of the racehorse at the time the race finishes is the user that will receive payment.
All prizes will be paid out within 72 hours of the completion of the final race.
