For some, making it to the National Handicapping Championship (NHC) - the World Series of horse betting - is the ultimate achievement. Imagine being Dan Kovalesky, who just returned from his fourth trip to the NHC.
While he didn’t cash this year, the 32-year-old sales rep from Scottsdale, Arizona, can be proud of the fact that he qualified with two entries, including one earned at the last possible moment. He spoke to America’s Best Racing correspondent Dan Tordjman about what it takes to get to the NHC, his approach to making money on racing and why contests are a big part of the future of the sport.
So, you've made it to the NHC four times. What does it take to make it to the NHC?
You really need to understand value in a race. Most qualifiers for it, or to get into the big cash contests where they give away seats, are Win and Place contests. So you really need to understand when and where to play longshots and if it’s going to be a low score or a high score kind of day.
