Grand River is sending out three sharp shooters to represent the racetrack at the upcoming Trot Canada National Handicapping Championship. Mike Hanhan of Brantford, Ont. is one of the lucky participants who will be headed to Rideau Carleton Raceway on November 4.

Participants from across the country have won their local qualifiers and will be headed to Ottawa this weekend in hopes of capturing the $25,000 grand prize, and be crowned top handicapper.

Hanhan has some very touching plans for the $25,000 should he be lucky enough to bring home the grand prize. He’d like to donate the money to cancer research, being a cancer survivor this is a charity that is close to his heart.

Trot Insider would like to wish Hanhan and the rest of the TCNHC contestants good luck this weekend.
