Five randomly-selected contestants competed in a question-and-answer game, using telephone keypads to enter numerical answers. Two games featured on each show.
Each game was a 10-furlong race, with each player using their telephone keypad to select one of the answers on the screen. The 1st question was worth 1 furlong for a correct answer, the 2nd was worth 2, etc. up to 5 furlongs for the 5th and all questions after that. The 1st player to reach the finish line won the race and went on to the Triple Crown. In the event of a tie, they would have a photo finish. A game would then be played (similar to The Price Is Rights One-Bid) with a numerical ##. A question would once again be asked, and the player coming closest to the answer wins the game.
