Rutherford, NJ - Due to the COVID-19 virus and the indefinite shutdown of
harness racing at the Meadowlands Racetrack, the 2020 World Harness
Handicapping Championship presented by DerbyWars.com has been rescheduled to
July 25th, 2020.
The
Meadowlands will look to add an additional qualifier or two once it reopens for
live racing.
DerbyWars
will host regular online Qualifiers for the WHHC through July. Players
can qualify for as little as $22. Complete DerbyWars
Qualifier information can be found at DerbyWars.com.
The
World Harness Handicapping Championship presented by DerbyWars.com is a one-day
tournament (now Saturday, July 25th) 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.
