Handicapping championship on April 24

The National Harness Handicapping Championship, harness racing's only tournament to feature $50,000 in prize money, will bring together the nation's top handicappers on Saturday, April 24, at Meadowlands Racetrack.

 

Players who have not qualified through a satellite tournament may buy directly into the NHHC Final for $800 [$400 entry fee/$400 tournament bankroll]. The NHHC entry fee includes a cocktail reception in the Clubhouse Suites on Friday, April 23 and a dinner buffet and gift bag on Saturday, April 24.

 

The NHHC contest format requires players to bet 10 races: their choice of eight Meadowlands races, plus two designated mandatory races from partner tracks. Players keep all pari-mutuel winnings. Prize payouts are to the Top 10, with first place secured at $20,000. Awards will be adjusted higher if there are more than 125 entries.

 

Registration deadline is 10 p.m., Thursday, April 22. To register by credit card, call 201-460-4050. For the contest entry form and complete rules, go to: http://www.meadowlandsracetrack.com/event_detail.aspx?id=1791
