WHHC - Less Than 20 Spots Remain for the 2013 World Harness Handicapping Championship

 Harness racing's only tournament to feature $100,000 in prize money, the WHHC will bring together the world's top handicappers on Saturday, April 13 at Meadowlands Racetrack.  Players who have not qualified through a satellite tournament may buy directly into the WHHC Final for $1,000 [$600 entry fee/$400 tournament bankroll].  The WHHC entry fee includes a cocktail reception in Pegasus on Friday, April 12 and a dinner buffet on Saturday, April 13.

 The WHHC contest format requires players to bet 10 races: their choice of seven Meadowlands races, plus three designated mandatory races from partner tracks.  Players keep all pari-mutuel winnings.  Prize payouts are to the Top 10, with first place secured at $40,000. 

Registration deadline is 10 p.m., Thursday, April 11.   For the contest entry form and complete rules, click here.
