Last weekend, the Adrenaline Festival hosted Trot Canada National Handicapping Championship qualifiers over the course of three days
(August 20 - 22). Coming out in full force were several past participants, as well as some new faces to the handicapping tournament.
Players funded their own bankrolls over the three days and winners were crowned at the end of each day based on the highest total of winnings.
Standardbred Canada used United Tote’s 'FastBet' cards which allowed starting bankrolls to be loaded on the cards and wagers made went directly into the Hiawatha pools.
The FastBet cards were a hit with all the players and allowed them the ease of placing their own bets at their own pace at a self serve terminal designated specifically for the contest.
Congratulations to the following three handicappers that have earned a spot in the 2009 edition of the Trot Canada National Handicapping Championship which features an estimated $25,000 grand prize:
- Thursday – Scott Winhold, London, Ont.
- Friday – Roy Sproxton, Toronto, Ont.
- Saturday – Don Sproxton, Toronto, Ont.
The 2009 TCNHC will take place at Rideau Carleton Raceway on November 8. For more information, click here.
