Description:
Breeders' Cup launched its 2015 Million Dollar Finish fantasy game May 29, with more prizes and opportunities to win than ever before throughout the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series: "Win & You're In."
During each of the 10 national broadcasts of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series on NBC and NBC Sports Network, the fantasy player with the highest score for each designated race will win a once-in-a-lifetime VIP trip for two to the sold-out 2015 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Keeneland. Along with the 10 chances to win during the Challenge Series, fans can enter for a shot at the ultimate prize of $1 million during the Breeders' Cup World Championships by predicting the correct order for the top 10 finishers in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I), which will air Oct. 31 on NBC.
Million Dollar Finish offers fans the opportunity to enter their top picks in the most prominent races taking place at some of the best tracks across the country. The game is free to enter and play, and fans can register and submit their picks for each race online at www.milliondollarfinish.com. The first chance for fans to participate during the 2015 season will be in the June 6 Belmont Stakes (gr. I), in which American Pharoah will attempt to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.
"Million Dollar Finish has served as a great new digital platform for fan engagement throughout our Challenge Series and we're excited to up the ante this year by offering a true 'Win & You're In' opportunity for our fans to the sold-out 2015 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Keeneland," said Justin McDonald, Breeders' Cup vice president of marketing and digital media. "The number of fantasy players more than doubled year-over-year in 2014 and we're positioned for similar growth again this year with even more incentive for fans to follow along throughout the season-long Win & You're In Series."
