Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 25, 2021 Journalists Share Posted June 25, 2021 A total of seven North American tracks have been selected for the 2021 NTRA National Horseplayers Championship (NHC), to be held Aug. 27-29. All mandatory and optional races will be from Del Mar, Ellis Park, Golden Gate Fields, Gulfstream Park, Monmouth Park, Saratoga Race Course, or Woodbine Racetrack. The NHC is the world's richest and most prestigious handicapping tournament. “The menu of racetracks represents the best possible mix of quality racing and geographical diversity,” said NTRA COO and NHC tournament director Keith Chamblin. “Del Mar and Saratoga, which on Saturday, Aug. 27, will feature six Grade I events headed by the Runhappy Travers Stakes, highlight the racing, but it will be great to introduce Ellis Park, Monmouth Park, and Woodbine to NHC contest play.” More than 600 horseplayers have entered this year's NHC, which will feature nearly $3.8 million in cash and prizes. The three-day NHC requires players to make mythical $2 win and place wagers on eight mandatory races and 10 optional races on each of the first two days, with semi-finals and finals following. The winner will receive $800,000 and an Eclipse Award as the Horseplayer of the Year.
