    04Your bets

    Locked in.

    Every bet you’ve locked, valued at today’s prices. They stay as they are until the races are called.

    05Leaderboard

    Not open yet.

    The leaderboard opens when the counting starts on Tuesday night. Until then, nobody knows who’s winning, least of all the pundits.

    Play money only. There’s no real money in this game and there are no prizes. Nothing you do here is a bet with anyone, and nothing is sent from your browser.

    One last look
