Meadowlands: Free Chance to Qualify for the WHHC
This Saturday, December 22, Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment is hosting a free handicapping contest with the Grand Prize of a $1,300 seat into the World Harness Handicapping Championship presented by DerbyWars.
The free handicapping contest is open to all patrons on Saturday and there is no fee to enter.
Fans may register up until 7:15 p.m. on the night of the contest. The contest format requires players to make a mythical $2 "across the board" wager on one horse in races 2 – 10 at the Meadowlands. The winner is determined by the player that amasses the largest mythical bankroll from their selections.
The World Harness Handicapping Championship is a one-day tournament on Saturday, April 6th, with a welcome reception the evening prior. Players that did not earn a seat through a qualifying event can directly buy-in for $1,300. The $1,300 entry fee includes a $300 bankroll, with the remaining $1,000 going to the prize pool. The $150,000 prize pool is based on an estimated 150 entries. The WHHC contest format requires players to bet 10 races: their choice of seven Meadowlands races, plus three designated mandatory races. Players keep all pari-mutuel winnings. Prize payouts are to the Top 10.
The Meadowlands’ remaining 2019 World Harness Handicapping Championship Qualifier schedule is as follows:
- January 1, 2019 – March 30, 2019: Free Online Survival Challenge – 3 WHHC seats
