No sooner had last week's column gone to press, stating "the chances for those trying to qualify for the Daily Racing Form/NTRA National Handicapping Championship on Jan. 25-26 at the Red Rock Casino are coming down to the wire," when announcements starting flowing in on more late-year NHC-sponsored tournaments
The Red Rock, located in the affluent western suburbs of Las Vegas, will be hosting a qualifier with two NHC berths up for grabs on Nov. 3. Its sister property at Green Valley Ranch - both are owned by Station Casinos - will have another on Dec. 1 for two more spots. Finally, the Red Rock will host the aptly named Last Chance Tournament with five spots available on Jan. 23, two days before the finals. In cyberspace, twinspires.com also announced it will hold an online tourney on Dec. 15 for 15 spots (plus another five seats in the Horseplayer World Series at the Orleans) with details still unannounced. A list of all remaining NHC qualifying tourneys can be found at http://drf.com/nhc/2007/nhc.html."
