DRF/NHC Contest Players 'Tour'
http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/nat...dicappers.aspx
On Thursday, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association and Daily Racing Form (DRF) announced the creation of the tour, a year-long bonus series offering additional prize money and qualifying berths to the DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship. The NHC Tour will be open to officially registered contestants and will be based on performances at NHC qualifying events throughout the year.

I would urge all DTers to check this out and get involved. If you have never played in a tournament, now there is a good reason to give it a shot. If you have been playing, you now have at least 100,000 reasons to try and play more.
I co-authored an article which appeared last fall in the Horseplayer magazine which proposed this idea. Following that, I was also part of the focus group with the NTRA which made brought this idea to fruition. In a sport where we regularly say that no one listens to horse players and no one cares about the bettor, this is a huge step forward. Paul |

Is it like the And1 mix tape tour for horseplayers? Will they have a bus and everybody gets cool nicknames?

It would seem to be so much easier - and the field sizes would be much larger - if they had all of these events throughout the tour online.
