Steve Byk, host of “At the Races” on Sirius XM, is partnering with the National Thoroughbred Racing Association to send one NHC Tour member to Las Vegas to compete in the National Horseplayers Championship (NHC) next February.
The “Beat Byk NHC Challenge” will run from July 20-Sept. 2. Byk will pick a horse in one stakes race each Saturday and Sunday and listeners can log in to www.ntra.com/beatbyk/ where they will be able to either use Byk's selection to win the featured race or try to beat Byk by selecting another horse.
All who correctly select the winning horse in each round advance to a September NHC online qualifier limited to winning participants from the weekly promotions. Participants can win up to three entries into the September online qualifier based on how many times they qualify during the promotional period. The winner of the “Beat Byk” Online Qualifier in September will then represent “At the Races” at the 2020 NHC, which will take place in the Bally's Events Center from February 7-9.
In addition, any participant who “Beats Byk” in any of the weekly contests will be able to join the NHC Tour for a special offer of $1 for the remainder of the 2019 NHC Tour. Those who “Bet with Byk” and win a spot in the NHC online qualifier by picking the winner will be required to join the Tour ($50 annual membership good through Jan. 31, 2020) to be eligible to win the NHC spot.
