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.

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. Learn more about this challenge here!

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.

9. Points System

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

Points are awarded in accordance with the horses’ finishing positions i.e. in a 10-horse field, the winner will be awarded 10 points, 2nd 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.

In addition, points will be awarded according to the price of the winner only.  The winning selection will get a bonus of the Hollywoodbets starting price.  If the winner of a 12-horse race starts at 12.5/1 (13.5) then the punters selecting the horse will be awarded 25.5 points (being 12 plus an additional 13.5 points for the starting price).

Further, additional points will be awarded according to players who select the winners of black-type races.  These are Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 and Listed races.  There are 30 scheduled black type races during the period (https://blog.hollywoodbets.net/2020/06/kzn-black-type-races-june-july-2020.html). The winning selection will get a bonus of double the Hollywoodbets starting price.  If the winner of a 12-horse race starts at 10/1 (11) then the punters selecting the horse will be awarded 34 points (being 12 plus an additional 11 points for the starting price, plus 11 points for the black-type race).

A horse/jockey combination must be declared a runner in the race to be awarded any points.
Where a dead-heat is declared for any finishing 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 3rd and 4th in the 10-horse race will see the affected horses each being awarded 7.5 points ((8+7)/2).
Cumulative points awarded will be updated after each race.

Failure to make selections for a race meeting will result in zero points.

10. Scratchings and disqualifications

Any selection of a scratching will be assigned the official tote favourite for the race.  In the event there are dual tote favourites in a race, the highest placed finisher (of the tote favourites) will be assigned to the scratching.

A horse disqualified after having run a race will be deemed to have run last and will earn one point, with each horse that finished behind it being promoted.

11. Change of venue – if the venue changes (before 11 am on race day) then punters will have the option to retain their original selection or create new selections on a new selection grid.  Where no new selections are made, the original selections will remain as valid selections.

12. Any race meeting rescheduled from its original date to another day in the period shall be re-opened for selections prior to the rescheduled date.  The original selections shall be voided and only the reselected entries shall apply.

13. Entries will only be accepted up until 5-minutes before the carded time of the first race.  The meeting will be closed at that time and no selections will be accepted after that time for any reason whatsoever.

14. It is the responsibility of each entrant to pick, process and save their selections.  Team members at Hollywoodbets, Gold Circle and/or the independent developers of the punters’ challenge system cannot process entries on behalf of any other person for any reason whatsoever.  It is each person’s responsibility to ensure their selections are recorded before the closing Time of the challenge.

15. Once selections are saved, they are final and cannot be changed.

16. The challenge is intended for recreational purposes only. Should any participant be suspected of abusing the spirit of the challenge, Hollywoodbets reserves the right to withdraw any prize money awarded.
