I won 3 of them by cheating. Two of them in my grandpas name - and one in my older brothers name.
And when I mean cheating ... I mean cheating. I failed with each winning entry at the OTWs final at Penn National race track - but the two or three thousand I made was big enough at the time.

The Horseplayer World Series is at The Orleans. It's a $1,000 buy-in or you can qualify. I played in it last year after qualifying cause I'm too cheap to pay the 1k. The qualifier I won included air and four nights plus free buffets, so it was a sweet deal.
You have 11 bets each day and it's mythical $20 WP wagers. The eight tracks included two that I didn't even look at (Lrl and GG). There are a lot of winter signals that have deep and competitive races (Tam and OP) so it made for a great tournament.
At the NHC we got $5 coupons for lunch at the Food Court but the HPWS had a catered lunch. For someone who misses few meals like myself the latter offered much better options. That being said, the Red Rock is a gorgeous hotel and the stay there was terrific.
