The Meadowlands will host a qualifying tournament for the 2008 National Harness Handicapping Championship (NHHC) on Saturday, Feb. 23. The top two finishers win a $1,000 entry into the 2008 NHHC on June 21 at the Meadowlands, which will feature a $50,000 guaranteed grand prize.

The NHHC is the only championship tournament for harness players with a $50,000 guaranteed grand prize. Players may earn their way into the June championship through participation in a qualifying tournament at an NHHC partner outlet or by direct buy-in.
The total cost to enter the Feb. 23 qualifier is $400 [$200 non-refundable entry fee due with entry form plus an additional $200 betting card purchase required at check-in]. Entries are limited to two per person. All players will receive a program, Harness Eye and dinner buffet.

The prize pool is estimated at $30,000, with a first prize of $12,000 [based on 150 entrants; prizes adjusted according to actual number of entries]. Payouts are to the Top 10 and players keep all pari-mutuel winnings.

The format requires players to bet 10 Meadowlands live races, with a $20 minimum/$100 maximum bet per race, win and place wagers only, one horse per race.

Registration deadline is 10 pm, Friday, Feb. 22. Entries are limited to two per person. An entry form and complete contest rules are available on the Meadowlands' website, www.meadowlandsracetrack.com.
