November 28 and 29
This is the final week to qualify for our Nov. 30 TwinSpires Online Handicapping Championship. In order to qualify the maximum amount of players, we have doubled the seats to our Championship in our Thursday and Friday Satellites. Celebrate the Thanksgiving weekend in style by punching your ticket to our $50,000 – 50 Vegas Seat Championship on Saturday.
Our Championship will award 20 seats to the 2014 National Handicapping Championship and 30 seats to the 2014 Horse Player World Series. Just two years ago, Michael Beychok parlayed a 3rd place finish in the TwinSpires Championship into a $1 Million payday in the 2012 NHC.
You could be next.
