Super Final Pick 8 Winners

Published: October 15, 2015 12:00 pm EDT

Congratulations to the winners of the I Love Canadian Harness Racing Fan Club’s Pick 8 Online Handicapping Contest, presented in cooperation with the Ontario Sires Stakes and featuring $500 in prize money.

Almost 300 Fan Club members took part in the second of two Pick 8 contests on Ontario Sires Stakes events.

Chico Sernaglia of Brampton, Ontario, won the online contest after finishing with a bankroll of $65.60 to top the charts. The former long-time horse owner selected seven out of eight winners. He missed the winner in the Super Final for the three-year-old trotting colts. Sernaglia owned horses from 1990 to 2010 and was part owner of horses Tabloid, Simcha, Armbro Positive and Artistic.

Sernaglia’s favourite driver is John Campbell; his favourite track to frequent is Mohawk Racetrack and on Saturday night, he took in the OSS Super Final action via TV in the comfort of his home.

Players were tasked with selecting the winners in each of eight OSS Super Final Championships hosted at Woodbine Racetrack on October 10, and they would receive a mythical $2 Win and $2 Place wager on their selections.

The winner of the Handicapping contest will receive $300; $150 will go to the runner up and the third place finisher will receive a cheque for $50. All three winners will also receive a prize package filled with I Love Canadian Harness Racing swag and Ontario Sires Stakes swag.
