The Fall Final Four and TVG Finals made some changes to the 2019 TROT Magazine Fantasy Stable leaderboard but a few crucial spots remain unchanged from one month ago.
The leader from the start of November was Kevin Turner of Erin, Ont. Turner's bankroll in the Wayward Boys stable topped $9.1 million on November 1, and he continues to set the pace with total earnings of $9.8 million. His stable is followed by Shane Courbier's Courbier Racing ($9.43 million) and Ronnie Blanchard's Phillycam Stable ($9.35 million). Blanchard was the Fantasy Stable leader on October 1, while Courbier boasted the top stable heading into Breeders Crown weekend.
With all 12 of the 2019 Breeders Crown Championship finals taking place on Oct. 25 and 26 at Woodbine Mohawk Park, the Hambletonian Society and TROT Magazine teamed up this year to present the sixth annual edition of the TROT Magazine Fantasy Stable contest.
The popular TROT Magazine Fantasy Stable contest, which attracted more than 1,350 contestants in 2019, already had a tie-in to the Breeders Crown with all 12 Crown winners gaining a bonus $200,000 toward their fantasy stable bankroll.
The winner of the 2019 TROT Fantasy Stable will be awarded a spot in the 2020 World Harness Handicapping Championship plus a $500 travel voucher.
The TROT Magazine Fantasy Stable contest is based on total earnings of selected horses and five percent of the earnings of selected trainers and drivers between May 18 and December 31, 2019.
