About the NHC

The NTRA National Horseplayers Championship (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.

Each year, the NHC winner joins other human and equine champions as an honoree at the Eclipse Awards. The most recent NHC offered prize money and awards totaling more than $3.5 million and named David Harrison as the 2022 Horseplayer of the Year.

The NHC Tour

The NTRA National Horseplayers Championship Tour (formerly known as the National Handicapping Championship Tour) is a yearlong bonus series offering additional prize money and qualifying berths to the NTRA National Horseplayers Championship (NHC).
