$500 cash in free USHWA Breeders Crown contest

Coral Springs, FL – The United States Harness Writers Association (USHWA) has combined resources with several of the leading people and organizations in the industry to co-sponsor the USHWA/Scott Alberg’s monthly harness racing handicapping contests on Facebook.

The next contest is Saturday, October 30 (Breeders Crown), and features the overall first-place prize winner netting $500 in cash. The second and third place winners will also receive special prizes. And there is no entry fee, so you do not have to pay to play.

Many thanks go to the Bob Key Memorial Fund for sponsoring this contest’s cash prize. Prominent owner and breeder Bob Key passed away in January and his estate gave USHWA $10,000 in his memory to help promote harness racing.

To collect the cash, entrants must select the winner of Saturday’s Breeders Crown final for three-year-old pacing colts.  The contest commences when the official race entries are drawn with the selected race being posted on Scott Alberg’s Facebook page. Contestants need to choose the winner either by their name or post position number and their selection must be posted on Scott Alberg’s Facebook page to be counted in the contest.

If more than three correct answers are submitted, then a drawing will take place with all the correct winners and the first three names drawn will win the three prizes.

Current USHWA members cannot enter the contest.

To enter the contest, fans must go to Scott Alberg’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/scott.alberg.3. All contest winners will have their name posted after the event with the final rankings after the drawings.

USHWA will also be promoting the monthly contests not only on Facebook, but with press releases and via Twitter and Instagram.

The prize drawings for the winners will take place Saturday evening (October 30) at 8:00 pm with a live presentation by USHWAN’s Garnet and Nicholas Barnsdale on the USHWA Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/USHarnessWriters/.
