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.

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.
