Survive & Win in the Meadowlands Championship Meet Survival Challenge

The always popular 2018 Meadowlands Championship Meet Survival Challenge powered by 123Racing returns this Friday, May 4. Cash prizes and World Harness Handicapping Championship seats are up for grabs in this online competition.

Trackmaster will provide Platinum Past Performances for each night of the contest.  

The game covers the Meadowlands’ Summer Championship Meet, featuring millions in stakes races and the best pacers and trotters in training.  The game concludes on Hambletonian Day, Saturday, August 4, 2018.

The winner is determined by the highest total bankroll at the end of the Challenge based on a $2 “across the board” wager [win, place and show] on selections for three designated races each program.         

However, to continue in the game, entrants have to “survive” by finishing in-the-money [first through third] with at least one of their selections each day.  Failing to do so or not making selections knocks the player out of the game.  To aid in the player’s survival a “lucky horseshoe” is given.  The lucky horseshoe is a “free pass” given to all Challenge participants that allows the player to survive if he does not make selections for a race card or all three of his selections fail to hit the board.

The grand prize is $1,500 & 2019 WHHC Spot
The second-place prize is $1,000 & 2019 WHHC Spot
The third-place prize is $500 & 2019 WHHC Spot

The contest is open to legal residents of the United States and Canada 18 years and older, and all selections must be made through the format provided on the Survival Challenge website page.  No selections will be accepted by phone, fax, e-mail or any other means.  Trackmaster Platinum Past performances for the three designated races will be provided through the game board.

The deadline for selections each day is 30 minutes before 7:15 p.m. post time for the first race.  Exceptions include Saturday, July 7 [first post is 6:35 p.m.], Saturday, July 14 [first post is 6:35 pm], Saturday, July 20 [first post is 8:00 p.m.], Saturday, July 21 [first post is 8:00 pm], and Hambletonian Day, Saturday, August 4 [post time 12 noon].  After 30 minutes to post, all selections are final.
