Xpressbet.com will host the first of four planned online handicapping contests offering qualifying spots to the 2021 National Horseplayers Championship (NHC) this summer when it holds the Santa Anita Derby Challenge on June 6.
Santa Anita Park, which is currently operating without spectators due to the coronavirus pandemic, becomes the first to move a contest originally scheduled to be hosted on-track and on Xpressbet.com exclusively to an online platform. The Santa Anita Derby Challenge is a live-money contest offering seats to the 2021 Pegasus World Cup Betting Championship in addition to the NHC seats. A $3,000 total buy-in is required with a maximum of two entries per person. Entrants must be an NHC Tour member prior to the start of the tournament in order to win an NHC entry.
Tournament races will be all live races from Santa Anita Park, including the Golden Hour Double, on June 6. There are no maximums regarding the amount a player is permitted to wager during this tournament. Players may wager as much as they want, including winnings from their bankroll, whenever they wish.
