Draft show will be posting on YouTube soon, here are this year’s rules
FORMAT
Snake draft. Each participant selects a team of five horses from the eligible Triple Crown nominees. Draft order is determined by random draw prior to the show.
SCORING
Points are awarded for top-three finishes across all three Triple Crown races — the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes.
| Finish | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st place | 5 points |
| 2nd place | 3 points |
| 3rd place | 1 point |
A horse can score points in multiple races. The participant with the most cumulative points at the end of the Belmont Stakes wins.
ELIGIBILITY
Any horse nominated to the Triple Crown series is eligible to be drafted, regardless of whether they are confirmed to start in the Kentucky Derby. Participants may select horses pointing to the Preakness or Belmont as their primary targets.
TIEBREAKER
In the event of a tied final score, the participant with the most first-place finishes wins. If still tied, second-place finishes are counted, then third-place finishes.
TROPHY
The winner receives an official ITM Triple Crown Draft trophy, commissioned by PTF. In the event of a third consecutive championship, a proper trophy will be provided — as promised.
Rules subject to PTF’s discretion. All decisions are final. Michelle is not allowed to win again.
