Las Vegas
There was a time not so long ago when the National Horseplayers Championship was an immovable fixture the week before the Super Bowl.
“In hindsight I’m happy it wasn’t held this past weekend,” said Keith Chamblin, chief operating officer of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. “We may have had some cancellations because of the storm in the northeast.”
Weather is the least of the NTRA’s challenges in staging the nation’s biggest tournament for racehorse handicappers. Moved three years ago to the week after the Super Bowl, it was supposed to happen this month at Bally’s Las Vegas. That was before the pandemic forced a postponement to Aug. 27-29.
