Racetracks Of Ontario Marketing & Promotions (ROMP) will host a major handicapping league at seven Ontario tracks starting this Thursday
.
The inaugural ROMP Handicapping League offers a minimum of $10,000 in prize money on Thursday nights from January 7 through February 25. The league is offered at the following tracks: Clinton, Flamboro, Hanover, Georgian, Grand River, Hiawatha and Western Fair.
League teams consisting of two to three members will compete against teams at their home track, and the other six facilities. There is a $10 entry fee per team, per week, which entitles the team to three free programs for the three Standardbred tracks used in the contest.
All entry fees are added to the $10,000 grand prize offering. Each team’s weekly cumulative (hypothetical) bankrolls will determine which two teams from each track will advance to the finals on March 4.
Full league details and the list of mandatory races for the January 7 contest are available on the ROMP website.
ROMP reminds players in the Sarnia area that contest play at Hiawatha Horse Park is suspended until simulcast racing resumes at that facility.
