HorsePlayers Happy Hour is back with a 7-race lineup that all takes place during the live stream with racing from Del Mar and Saratoga. The $20 contest starts with the first Del Mar race at 5 ET, the same time as the stream begins. PTF and JK from In the Money Media will kick off the coverage and look to interact with live viewers in the comments as we as a group try to find a few winners. Special guests are expected including Matt Miller, author of the new book, A Bettor Way of Thinking (abettorwayofthinking.com) and Tyler Hoffman, one of our BCBC Diaries regulars who just won his Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge seat this past weekend via the Haskell challenge. HorsePlayers Happy Hour is an interconnected series of contests with $20,000 added to the pool where you only have to play one week to possibly win part of that extra money. It's also a feeder for the Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge with two extra ways to win into that prestigious contest. Best of all, the house cut goes to equine aftercare.
