Columnist had a front-row seat for the Daily Racing Form/National Thoroughbred Racing Association National Handicapping Challenge at the Treasure Island. He watched John O’Neil of Huntington Station, N.Y., out-handicap the field to take the first prize of $800,000.
On the Monday after the Super Bowl, there will be numerous hot topics, some of which will matter. Marshawn Lynch will matter if the Seattle Seahawks win or lose, and not because the running back might have grabbed his crotch.
The 16th annual Daily Racing Form/National Thoroughbred Racing Association National Handicapping Championship will start today at Treasure Island. With more than 600 entries in play, the three-day tournament will have its largest field ever.
