There are not many situations where you can leave the track with that kind of money let alone be guaranteed that one of the people in the room with you will.

Add in six qualifying spots to the NHC with a free trip to Vegas and a free roll at another half million for those that have not yet qualified. I would guess that about 25% of those in the contest will have already qualified making the odds even better.

I understand it is a lot of money and this is not for everyone. But I did it last year and had a great time. I didn't hesitate a second to enter again this year either.

On Friday you have to bet a minimum of 600 on at least 5 races. On Saturday 6 races with a minimum of 900.

How do people usually bet this much per race when you are limited to win place show exacta trifecta? Are people making large win bets usually? Or do people chase the trifecta x20 and hope for a good one?
