Free $1,000 seat for WHHC at Big M

East Rutherford, NJ – This Saturday, June 4, Meadowlands Racetrack is hosting a free harness racing handicapping contest with the Grand Prize of a $1,000 seat into the World Harness Handicapping Championship.

The free handicapping contest is open to all patrons on Saturday and there is no fee to enter.

Fans may register at the Clubhouse Players Club Desk until 6:20 p.m. on the night of the contest. The contest format requires players to make a mythical $2 “across the board” wager on one horse in races 1 – 10 at the Meadowlands. The winner is determined by the player that amasses the largest mythical bankroll from their selections.
