COSA, TROT Fantasy Stable Updates
Breeders Crown weekend added significantly to a number of stables atop the leaderboard in the 2022 TROT Magazine Fantasy Stable contest.
The TROT Fantasy Stable Contest is based on total earnings of selected horses and five percent of the earnings of selected trainers and drivers between May 27 and Dec. 31, 2022.
For the purposes of the fantasy bankroll, the winners (horses only) of the 2022 Breeders Crown Finals will each receive a $200,000 contest bankroll bonus. Also, in the two-year-old categories, contestants were allowed to select two horses.
At the end of the year, the winner of the contest will receive entry into and travel to the 2023 World Harness Handicapping Championship, a prize valued at (approx) $1,300.
Contest totals are updated daily at 11:00 a.m. (EDT).
