East Rutherford, NJ — Two more spots for the World Harness Handicapping Championship are up for grabs this Saturday (April 7) in Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment’s Last Chance Qualifier.

The qualifier has a $100 total fee ($50 entry plus a $50 real-money bankroll). The format requires players to place a minimum of five $10 win wagers on Meadowlands races. Players can register on-site Saturday up until 7:15 p.m.

Sixty players have already qualified for the WHHC final through the Meadowlands, DerbyWars.com and partner outlets Vernon Downs, Tioga Downs, TROT Fantasy and Buffalo Raceway.

The World Harness Handicapping Championship presented by DerbyWars.com is scheduled for Saturday (April 28) at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment and has a guaranteed prize pool of $75,000.

The WHHC is a one-day tournament, with a welcome reception the evening prior. Players that did not earn a seat through a qualifying event can directly buy-in for $1,000. The WHHC contest format requires players to bet 10 races: their choice of seven Meadowlands races, plus three designated mandatory races from Buffalo, Vernon Downs and the Meadowlands. Players keep all pari-mutuel winnings. Prize payouts are to the top 10.
