The 2013 World Harness Handicapping Championship (WHHC) will bring together horseplayers from across North America to compete for $100,000 in prize money on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at the Meadowlands.  Players may earn a seat in the WHHC through a qualifying event at a partner wagering outlet or through direct buy-in ($1000) should enough spots remain as of April 1, 2013.
