Troop in first place following Day 1 of NHC

Brian Troop of Barrie, Ontario, moved atop the leaderboard standings of the 11th annual Daily Racing Form/NTRA National Handicapping

Championship (NHC) following the sixth mandatory race on Friday. As the rest of

the day played out, none of the other handicappers were able to topple Troop,

who compiled a total bankroll of $232.60 by day's end.

Troop, a member of BRISnet.com since 2008, qualified for the tournament in a December 6 contest that took place at

Turfway Park. He finished fourth in that event, but the top two in that

competition had previously qualified, leaving the way clear for Troop to earn

his second straight berth in the NHC.

Troop's closest rival at the end of Day 1 is Gary Johnson, of Cleveland,

Ohio, who has compiled a

bankroll of $153.40.
