This one is pretty simple but in mandotories, find the winner, plain and simple

In the optional ones, I would just play to your strengths as far as handicapping and pick your spots. You have to get to a certain spot anyways to win the thing, and there are multiple ways to do it (two bombs, 4 8/1 shots)

I have been in only two of these, and have learned from each them every time.

I have qualified for the NHC three times (including this coming year already). If you have specific questions, send me a PM and I will be happy to help.

Basically, you need to amass the largest bankroll over the two days. That does not mean the most winners. It means the most money. Accordingly, look for prices in every race. In a contest where you have a limited number of bets, you need to makle each one count. Remember, one 10-1 winner gets you the same money as five 2-1 shots.

Keep a close eye on the leaderboard and adjust accordingly.
