“DerbyWars.com has been a fantastic partner for
the World Harness Handicapping Championship,” said Rachel Ryan, Marketing
Manager at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment. “With their support we
are able to guarantee the Championship prize pool at $75,000. With 100%
of entry fees returned as prizes, this offers tremendous value to our
players. Should 108 or more players enter the Championship, the prize
pool will exceed the guarantee. With 73 players already qualified we have
a great shot of the prize pool exceeding $75,000!”
73 players qualified via DerbyWars.com online
tournaments, TVG/Betfair, and on-site track tournaments held at the
Meadowlands, Tioga & Vernon Downs, Buffalo Raceway and Standardbred Canada.
The World Harness Handicapping Championship
presented by DerbyWars.com is a one-day tournament, with a welcome reception
the evening prior. Players that did not earn a seat through a qualifying
event can directly buy-in for $1,000. The $1,000 entry fee includes a
$300 bankroll, with the remaining $700 going to the prize pool. The WHHC
contest format requires players to bet 10 races: their choice of seven
Meadowlands races, plus three designated mandatory races (one each) from
Buffalo, Vernon Downs and the Meadowlands. Players keep all pari-mutuel
winnings. Prize payouts are to the Top 10, with a guaranteed prize pool
of $75,000.
