DRF Pigskins & Ponies Promotion Returns Sunday

Saturday, November 14, 2009

The Daily Racing Form Pigskins and Ponies Match Game, one of the most popular promotions ever at Oaklawn Simulcast, returns to Oaklawn on Sunday, November 22.

The Pigskins and Ponies Match Game allows patrons to win from $500 to $2,000, by requiring players to correctly solve matchups of horses running in specified races as well as matchups of NFL pro football games against the point spread. Entries must be submitted by 12:30 p.m. on Sunday to be eligible. Players may get an entry by presenting their Winner's Circle Club card to the Information Booth, across from the main elevator on the first floor of the grandstand.  They will be distributed (one per person) and completed entries will be returned to the Information Booth as well.

Those patrons not already in the Winner's Circle Club can do so free of charge by checking in with the Information Booth. However all Pigskins and Ponies entries need to be completed and turned in by 12:30 p.m.  There will be seven NFL games and seven horse race matchups.

The player with the best card of the day collects a prize of $500. Should a player pick the card perfectly, there is a prize of $2,000 for winning. If there are two scratches in the horse races, necessitating the elimination of those horse race matchups, the bonus provision will not be in effect.  There is a tiebreaker, which requires you to estimate the win payoff for the winner of a designated race. No purchase is necessary to participate, however players must be present to win.

If you are a fan of the National Football League and horse racing, this game allows you to enjoy both in a special game conducted in the comfort of Oaklawn's grandstand. Somebody is going to win at least $500 each week.  Why not you?
