Play the $15,000 Mini NHC on TwinSpires.com
Even if you didn't make to Vegas this year, you can still compete for $15,000 in cash prizes on NHC 14 weekend with TwinSpires.com.
That's because we're holding back-to-back $50 tournaments on Friday and Saturday worth a total of $7,500 each. Each day will feature a separate tournament based on the eight mandatory races used at the National Handicapping Championship at Treasure Island Las Vegas. Up to 165 players can compete for a buy in of $50 each, with a maximum of 2 entries per player.
Keep tabs on the NHC online while playing along from home to claim your share of $6,500 in daily cash prizes. Plus, if you beat the "Day 1" or "Day 2" NHC winner's score in the 8 mandatory races, you could collect a bonus worth up to $1,000.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ILLINOIS RESIDENTS
Unfortunately, the Illinois Racing Board has requested that we stop taking wagers from Illinois residents at this time. Since TwinSpires.com may only accept contest entries from players in states where it accepts wagers, we also cannot permit Illinois residents to participate in contests until further notice. As such, all contest entries purchased by Illinois residents will be refunded prior to the start of each contest this weekend. We apologize for the inconvenience and are hopeful that this situation will be resolved as soon as possible.
