The leaderboard atop the 2022 COSA Fantasy Stable remains mostly intact heading into the final month, while a past champion is making a late rally in the TROT Magazine Fantasy Stable.
The COSA Fantasy Stable Contest, which has prizes for the top 20 finishers, and carries a Grand Prize worth approximately $4,000, runs from May 22, 2022 through the end of the OSS Super Finals.
Brought to you by the Central Ontario Standardbred Association, and administered by TROT Magazine and Standardbred Canada, the fantasy pool is based on the 2022 OSS season, and Ontario-sired two and three-year-olds based on their overall earnings for the year through the contest period.
