HANA Handicapping Contest Update

Published: October 28, 2013 12:25 pm EDT

Earl Paulson was the best of the best this week in HANA Harness’ 2013 Grand Circuit Handicapping Challenge as he led a trio of handicappers who scored triple-digit profits this week on races at Tioga Downs and Hoosier Park.

Paulson outperformed everyone with a weekly profit of $598 versus $425 for Dennis O’Hara and $294 for Ann Stepien. This week there were five handicappers who came out in the black which is believed to be a contest high.

Richard Scott, despite taking a bye week on Saturday, remains in the lead with an over-all net profit of $45.60, leading second place Rusty Nash by a total of $337.02. With this week’s coming action at Hoosier Park, Vernon Downs, and Yonkers Raceway, this week presents another opportunity for the handicappers to shake up the standings.

Here are the contest standings at the conclusion of action on October 26, 2013.
