2019 World Harness Handicapping
Championship presented by DerbyWars.com — offering a record $150,000 prize pool
— has been pushed back a week to Saturday, April 13. The
adjustment will ensure all partner outlets have enough time to run their
qualifiers and allow players more time to buy-in.
The World Harness
Handicapping Championship presented by DerbyWars.com is a one-day tournament
(now Saturday, April 13), with a welcome reception the evening prior.
Players that did not earn a seat through a qualifying event can directly buy-in
for $1,300. The $1,300 entry fee includes a $300 bankroll, with the
remaining $1,000 going to the prize pool. The $150,000 prize pool is
based on an estimated 150 entries. The WHHC contest
format requires players to bet 10 races: their choice of seven Meadowlands
races, plus three designated mandatory races. Players keep all
pari-mutuel winnings. Prize payouts are to the Top 10.
This Saturday, January
12 the Meadowlands has its next WHHC Qualifier. Four spots are up for
grabs in the $400 Qualifier ($200 entry plus a $200 real-money bankroll).
The format requires players to bet a minimum of $20 Win, Place, Show or any
combination of WPS wagers on 10 Meadowlands races. Players can
wager on more than 10 races if they so desire. Players can register
on-site Saturday up until 7:15 pm.
