In addition to being New York's penultimate stop on the road to the Kentucky derby, Gotham Day March 7 will also offer handicappers the opportunity to qualify for a seat to the 2016 National Handicapping Championship, via a $300 buy-in, live-bankroll tournament.
Of the $300 entry fee, $200 will serve as a bankroll, which competitors may allocate as they wish among Win, Place, Show, Exacta and Quinella wagering, while the remaining $100 goes to the prize pool - 100 percent of which is returned to the players. The winner will also earn a berth to the 2016 NHC at Treasure Island, January in Las Vegas.
Contestants must wager a minimum of $40 on five separate races at Aqueduct or Gulfstream Park and must also wager on a minimum of five races at Aqueduct. A contestant can wager as much of their bankroll they wish at any time and wagers can be placed at any self-service terminal throughout the track.
The premier event for 3-year-olds held on the inner track at Aqueduct Racetrack - the Grade 3, $400,000 Gotham - will be joined by the Grade 3, $200,000 Tom Fool, and the $100,000 Cat Cay, offering bettors premier racing to wager on.
Non-refundable registration will take place beginning Saturday, March 7 on the first floor of Aqueduct beginning at 11:00 a.m. and is limited to two entries per person.
