Default Good luck at NHC to the 4 Derby Trailers!
As far as I can tell, we have three DTers involved at NHC XIII...

Paul Weizer.. Boston-based 'pweizer', involved in every Dee Tee runner. His 7th visit!

Dan Kovalesky.. Chicago's 'dpkovalesky' and I think his first trip to NHC..

Rick Reynolds.. 'Big Blue' from Auburn, AL, in Dee Tee and his first NHC..

Sheldon Usprech.. 'Immanuel Kant'. Canadian invader back for 3rd NHC..

GOOD LUCK GUYS!

Thanks Guys. This is number 7 for me but first under the new 500 person ballroom format. And they never get any easier. Dan and Rick--my table is right at the front at the far side of the ballroom. I am sitting with the Wolfsons and the Shurmans. Stop by and say hello.

Any of you fellers need a date to take with you? I can be ready in no time at all.

In any case, best of luck to each of you. I hope you come in 1,2,3 and take all the cash.

Very cool that each of you are going.

Good luck to our DTers!

The NHC is a truly special event. Some malign the format, the exclusivity, or other aspects. However, the feeling of the entire crowd of hardened horseplayers going nuts as the field turns for home in a mandatory race was awesome.

For you first timers, don't be a one-hit wonder like me who hasn't been back since 2009.

They are polling people to see if they want the opportunity to buy into the contest next year, 25k to get into the big dance

Good luck to fellow DTer's. Maybe the DT site can make up the TRI?

Seriously? I mean, 25k to enter this for I'm sure a prize pool TBD. But only 10k to enter the Main Event @ the WSOP for upwards of, what, $8-11 million?
