Racetracks of Ontario Marketing & Promotions (ROMP) will host a major handicapping league at seven Ontario tracks this winter
.
The group is currently finalizing details of the inaugural ROMP Handicapping League, which will offer a minimum of $10,000 in prize money on Thursday nights for eight weeks beginning January 7, 2010.
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 cost per team, per week, which entitles the team to three free programs from any of the four Standardbred products used in the 10-race contest.
All entry fees are added to the $10,000 grand prize offering. Each team’s weekly cumulative (hypothetical) bankrolls will determine which team represents their track in the finals slated for March 4.
Full event details will be available within the next two weeks.
