The United States Harness Writers Association, the industry’s largest group of communicators, is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2022 and USHWA is offering a free harness racing handicapping contest through its relationship with Scott Alberg, with whom USHWA has been working on handicapping promotions on Alberg’s Facebook page.
This $1,000 Superfecta Handicapping contest will take place this Sunday, October 9, 2022, at Lexington’s Red Mile on Kentucky Futurity Day.
The race selected for the contest will be the $430,000 Kentucky Futurity (race 12) for three-year-old trotting colts. The contest will begin on Scott Alberg’s Facebook page by Thursday.
Fans can enter the contest through Alberg’s Facebook page, or alternatively via email at Customerservice@4NJPicks.com, following the timetable posted on Alberg’s site. The object is to pick the first four finishers in the contest race in exact order.
A single correct entry wins that handicapper $1,000 cash; if there are multiple correct selections, there will be a “shake” to determine the thousand-dollar winner. If nobody picks the Superfecta, there will be consolation prizes depending on the number of correct numbers from the top of the ticket. If necessary, a drawing will be held later on during the race night Saturday to determine the winners.
There is a complete set of contest rules posted on Alberg’s Facebook page.
