Thoroughbred Racing Challenge: Free Online Fantasy Contest Tracks Prominent 3-Year-Olds


After your football bowl picks stink and before your basketball bracket breaks — along comes a fun and exciting horse racing game to fill the void. The Thoroughbred Racing Challenge game is a FREE online horse racing fantasy contest tracking the 3-year-old horses, trainers and jockeys in their journey to the 2020 triple crown through our website www.DerbyDuel2000.com. The game is absolutely FREE with some great racing collectibles as prizes — plus all important bragging rights!

Until now, the Thoroughbred Racing Challenge contest has been a private family game conducted for more than twenty years by the Ball family. The game was the brainchild of John W. Ball Sr., creator of the Kentucky Derby, Breeders’ Cup and Jockey Trading Card collections in the 90s. He has generously donated a number of trading card items from his personal collection as prizes.

“Why wait for Derby week to handicap the competition when you can take the pulse of the 3-year-old crop of horses in February. You will be following these horses, trainers and jockeys on the trail leading to the Triple Crown in regional races at some of the greatest racing venues in the United States,” Ball said. “Last year one of our competitors cashed an actual Kentucky Derby wager of $80 that yielded a massive payoff of $62,875.40,” he added. You won’t win money in the Thoroughbred Racing Challenge but due to your participation you’ll have fun and certainly be more informed about the competitors come Triple Crown time.

The Thoroughbred Racing Challenge game puts you in the position of being the best jockey in the nation — you will have your pick of the best horse to “ride” in any of the prep races anywhere in the country. Your choices will be graded with “virtual payoffs” of a “$2Win-Place-Show” mythical wager on your choice in each of the races. Competition will begin in Louisiana at the Fairgrounds with the Risen Star Stakes on February 15th and end in New York with the Belmont Stakes on Saturday June 6, 2020. Only 1,000 participants will be accepted in 2020 — so first come, first served. Not a racing fan – no worries, Thoroughbred Racing Challenge’s mission is to be easy, fun and educational about all things related to the “Sport of Kings.”

In this inaugural public unveiling of the challenge, the Ball family overwhelming feels that John Ball Sr. should act as contest commissioner. “I’ll be putting my neck out by posting my selections publicly before each race.” Ball said. “In addition to the top prizes, any player who finishes ahead of me at the end of the 20-race competition will win one of the most prized cards in the KY Derby Trading Card collection — 1973 Triple Crown Winner SECRETARIAT. I don’t plan to give too many away,” he boasted! In subsequent competitions, Thoroughbred Racing Challenge plans to feature a special guest handicapper to act as commissioner.
