A 48-year-old political consultant from Baton Rouge, La., Michael Beychok became the first ever millionaire winner of a horse racing handicapping tournament by winning the 13th annual Daily Racing Form/NTRA National Handicapping Championship (NHC). He did so in dramatic fashion in the final race of the contest Saturday to claim the $1 million first-place prize and an Eclipse Award as Handicapper of the Year.
Beychok finished with a final score of $238.60 to rally past Dave Flanzbaum, 45, of Rolling Meadows, Ill., who finished with $237.60 after leading most of the final hours of the day.
