East Rutherford, NJ — The Meadowlands Summer Survival Challenge powered by 123Racing returns Saturday (May 1). Cash prizes and World Harness Handicapping Championship presented by DerbyWars seats are up for grabs in this free online competition.

TrackMaster will provide Platinum Past Performances for each night of the contest.

The game covers the Meadowlands’ Championship Meet and concludes on Hambletonian Day (Saturday, Aug. 7).

The winner is determined by the highest total bankroll at the end of the Challenge based on a $2 “across the board” wager (win, place and show) on selections for three designated races each program.

However, to continue in the game, entrants have to “survive” by finishing in-the-money (first through third) with at least one of their selections each day. Failing to do so or not making selections knocks the player out of the game. To aid in the player’s survival a “lucky horseshoe” is given. The lucky horseshoe is a “free pass” given to all Challenge participants that allows the player to survive if he does not make selections for a race card or all three of his selections fail to hit the board.

The grand prize is $500 and $1,300 2021 WHHC spot. The second-place prize is $300 and $1,300 2021 WHHC spot. The third-place prize is $200 and $1,300 2021 WHHC spot. Most winners prize is $100.

The free contest is open to legal residents of the United States and Canada 18 years and older, and all selections must be made through the format provided on the Survival Challenge website page. No selections will be accepted by phone, fax, e-mail or any other means. TrackMaster Past Performances for the three designated races will be provided through the game board.

The deadline for selections each day is 30 minutes before 6:20 p.m. post time for the first race. After 30 minutes to post, all selections are final. Players should note post time on Saturday (Aug. 7) is noon.
