Last Race Longshot Propels John Fisher To NHC Qualifier Win

Florida-based handicapper John Fisher was all but tapped out and ready to leave Hialeah Park's Champions Simulcast Center & Sports Bar late Sunday afternoon.

He was down to $100 from his total of five entries in the second-ever National Horseplayers Championship qualifying tournament staged at this iconic South Florida landmark.

Fisher bet his last money all to win on 22-1 longshot Cryptic Creed in the 10th race at Gulfstream Park. Less than two minutes later, jockey Jesus Rios guided the two-year-old maiden to a facile victory over the all-weather surface, producing a $45.40 payout that vaulted Fisher to victory over runner-up Phil Matzat and third-place finisher Ray Arsenault.

“I had packed up and I was at the door,” Fisher recalled. “I heard a big commotion from the tournament room and '10, it's the 10!' from the other handicappers. That was Cryptic Creed!”

The big payoff gave Fisher a total of $2,400 in tournament earnings, some $900 better than Matzat's $1,500, and almost $1,500 more than Arsenault's $908.

The champion collected $4,000 in prize money, with Matzat garnering $2,600 for second and Arsenault claiming $1,600 for third.

The top two finishers both earned seats in the National Horseplayers Championship finals at Bally's Las Vegas on Jan. 28-30, 2022, including hotel and airfare.

“I'll be there,” added Fisher. “I've been to 10 finals and I'm just as excited to go back for the 11th time! Champions was a great spot for the event. The staff treated us in a friendly and professional manner, and they fed us well!”

Overall, 46 handicappers purchased a total of 64 entries in the tournament and the Hialeah Park mutuel office reported a 74% handle increase over the average Sunday.

Champions Simulcast Center & Sports Bar, opened as “the go-to location” in South Florida for full-card simulcast wagering on Thoroughbred races in early 2016, features 180 television screens, 78 betting carrels (each with a 19-inch video monitor), 42 wagering windows, and space for 200 horseplayers complemented by an aggressive menu of simulcast wagering options.

Gulfstream’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Guaranteed At $100,000 Wednesday

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $100,000 for Wednesday's program at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., two racing days after a jackpot of $407,067.66 was taken down by one lucky bettor Saturday.

Wednesday's Rainbow 6 sequence will be headlined by a mile optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds and up, featuring the return of Liam, who is unraced since finishing third in the Grade 3 Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, Okla., in September 2020. The son of Liam's Map, who sold for $450,000 at the 2018 Keeneland September sale, is scheduled to make his first start for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Gulfstream Rainbow 6 Hit For $407,067 Saturday

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 was hit Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., and returned $407,067.66.

The Rainbow 6 will have a guaranteed gross pool Sunday of $100,000.

Sunday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 5-10. Andry Blanco's Peter D will put his undefeated record on Tapeta on the line in Race 6, a mile-and-70-yard optional claiming starter allowance for 2-year-olds. The son of He's Has Enough, who won his debut on dirt at Delaware Park in Wilmington, Del., and finished fifth in his Gulfstream debut in a turf sprint, became a stakes winner in his third career start while winning the Florida-bred Juvenile in his Tapeta debut at a mile and 70 yards. Peter D came right back to score a dominating four-length victory in a Nov. 12 optional claiming starter allowance on Tapeta.
