Time is running short to register for Tampa Bay Downs's annual “Live It Up Challenge” handicapping contest. The event begins Saturday and runs through March 11, which is Festival Day 43 at the Oldsmar oval. The deadline to enroll is 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.
There is no charge to enter, and this year's prizes are certain to generate much excitement. The first-place winner will receive two free seats into the 2024 “High Rollers Contest” at Tampa Bay Downs, which will be held in February of 2024. “High Rollers Contest” seats cost $1,000, so first prize in the “Live It Up Challenge” is a $2,000 value.
Second, third and fourth-place winners each receive one free seat into the 2024 “High Rollers Contest” event. Additionally, a bonus prize of $500 will be awarded to the participant selecting the most winners during the “Live It Up Challenge.”
The contest is a free online competition in which all wagers are mythical. To register, visit www.liveitupchallenge.com on the Internet. Participants are required to select one horse from two of each day's three “Challenge Races,” with bankroll totals determined by the win/place/show results from each player's choices.
Each player begins the contest with one free lifeline. Additional lifelines become necessary to advance in the contest whenever either of a player's choices does not finish first, second or third in a race or when a player does not make a selection in that day's “Challenge Races” for any reason (players cannot lose more than one lifeline each day of the contest).
As always, additional lifelines may be purchased, with participants eligible to buy eight lifelines at $5 each any time before the first contest race; eight for $10 each on Feb. 3; and four for $25 each on Feb. 17. In the event all players are eliminated before the end of the contest, the four players with the most money will be declared the prizes winners.
