WHY JOIN?

The NHC is the world’s richest and most prestigious handicapping tournament of the year for horseplayers and is the culmination of a year-long series of NTRA-sanctioned local tournaments conducted by racetracks, casino race books, off-track betting facilities, and horse racing and handicapping websites, each of which sends its top qualifiers to the national finals. In order to be eligible to win an entry into the NHC, you must first be a member of the National Horseplayers Championship Tour.

#NHC2026 will be held March 13-15, 2026 in Las Vegas
