"I'm new to this head to head game and would have to say it's very stressful compared to the bigger games. In the bigger games, almost every horse is covered in all races, so I expect (to see people on higher priced horses) ...In a head to head game, it hurts so much more when your opponent scores on a price."

Mike Lazarus

Mike Lazarus is certainly a value seeker. Mike is also absolutely on fire. If you ever want to find Mike, just look towards the top of any DerbyWars leaderboard. When he started on DerbyWars just eight months ago, no one would have predicted many of his incredible accomplishments. His latest tournament run has been in the $25,000 July Head to Head Championship. On Saturday, he’ll take on the notorious Tony Calabrese (Funkymonkey) in the July Final Four. Mike has absolutely obliterated his competition, powering his way through the bracket.

Mike Lazarus became interested in horse racing when he watched replays from Freehold alongside his grandfather. His love for horse racing grew even more when Mike found DerbyWars.
