Approximately 600 players will vie for an $800,000 top prize at this year’s National Horseplayers Championship, which begins Friday at the Horseshoe Las Vegas.
Held annually for the past 24 years, the National Horseplayers Championship offers more prize money than any handicapping tournament in the world. In addition to the grand prize money of $800,000, the winner receives an Eclipse Award as Horseplayer of the Year. A total of $4.5 million in cash and prizes will be awarded.
