A loyal racing fan for over three decades, Michael 'Iron Mike' McComish has his entire family looking to him for a victory in the $25,000 Trot Canada National Handicapping Championship after a promise to treat them to a trip to Disney World should he win

.

McComish, an accounting administrator from Brampton, Ont., earned his place in the championship via a qualifying event at Flamboro Downs --- and he is no novice when it comes to handicapping challenges. Last year, McComish cashed over $3,000 in a Woodbine Extreme event.
