Iron Man & Las Vegas Winners announced - TwinSpires Leaderboard
12 Winners Heading to Las Vegas from the TwinSpires.com Leaderboard
Thank you to all of our players who supported the TwinSpires.com Leaderboard contest in 2009, and congratulations to our 12 winners heading to Las Vegas. A special distinction goes out to Brian Feldman, who previously had the 2nd best score on the year, but he jumped back into the Show ROI segment with 8 days to go in November. Despite only playing the minimum number of wagers (40), he surpassed Steve Wolfson, Jr. on the final day to claim the NHC spot. Congrats also to the 15 Iron Men who placed in the top 10 every month from April to November, and, as a result, share in a $5,000 bonus prize pool.
Racing's most innovative online qualifier returned for its second season on March 1. The TwinSpires.com Leaderboard was your opportunity to play from the comfort of home, incur no travel expenses or entry fees, and win your way to Las Vegas.

Another new wrinkle this year was the addition of the "Iron Man" contest. This is a bonus prize pool that rewarded players that competed successfully during the course of April to November. $5,000 was shared among the players who have a top 10 monthly Leaderboard placing during each month of the tournament season. The top 10 finish does not have to be in the same Leaderboard wager type each month. After an audit of the Iron Man segment, these are the 15 eligible players who completed the sweep from April to November:
Mark Streiff
Richard Zimmer
Michael Ferrozzo
Stephen Levine
Gerald Manning
Paul Weizer
Michael Pribozie
Dan Hartmann
Michael Henderson
Robert Pelton
Noel Pink
John Howland
George Smith
William Shurman
Keith Gee
CONGRATS to these 15 Iron Men! They will share equally in the prize pool of $5,000.00.
