A busy stakes weekend has prompted a shake-up atop the 2018 Trot Magazine Fantasy Stable leaderboard.
The top two stables are separated by less than $3,000. Dennis Rock's Two Rocks Stable sports a $2,794,620 bankroll. Just off the leader is Ron Salcedo's Angry Bald Man Stable at $2,791,994.
Dennis has won a prize as the Fantasy Stable's leader the day after the 2018 Hambletonian card. Prizes will also be awarded to the Fantasy Stable leader after the day after the 2018 Little Brown Jug (September 21) as well as to the leader after the Ontario Sires Stakes Super Finals (October 14).
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, 2018. For the purposes of the fantasy bankroll, the winners (horses only) of the 2018 Breeders Crown Finals will each receive a $200,000 contest bankroll bonus.
At the end of the year, the winner of the contest will receive entry into and travel to the 2019 World Harness Handicapping Championship, a prize valued at (approx) $1,300.
