Final decisions on fantasy points are determined by FantasyGo, and are subject to adjustment.

Jockey's and trainers will score points for all their horses competing in the contest.

### <mark style="color:$success;">Captaincy</mark>

* You must assign a Captain Horse for Fantasy Horse Racing team.
* Your Captain’s final score will be multiplied by 2.&#x20;
* **Zero and negative scores will also be multiplied.**

### <mark style="color:$success;">Team Budgets and Player Prices</mark>

You will have a budget of 100.0 to pick your Fantasy Horse Racing team.

Horse, Jockey, and Trainer prices are determined by FantasyGo, based on ability, odds, expected popularity, number of appearances in a meet, and recent form. Horse, Jockey and Trainer prices may change throughout the season but will not change while a contest is in progress.
