Columbus, OH — DerbyWars.com will host a World Harness Handicapping Championship Mega-Qualifier on Saturday (April 14) featuring five qualifying spots for the $75,000-guaranteed WHHC presented by DerbyWars to be held April 28 at the Meadowlands.

Players can qualify online for the $75,000 WHHC contest, which features a first-place prize of $40,000 and pays the top 10 finishers, at www.DerbyWars.com.

The WHHC Mega-Qualifier entry fee is $115, with the five WHHC qualifying spots based on 50 entries. The contest will consist of the second half of the races at partner tracks Meadowlands and Woodbine Mohawk Park. The format is a mythical $2 Win-Place-Show contest, where players will pick one horse in each of 12 races and earn payouts equivalent to $2 Win-Place-Show payouts at the track, subject to maximum payouts.

Players may qualify for as little as $19 every night on DerbyWars.com, or on Saturday night during the early races. DerbyWars hosts WHHC qualifiers every Saturday night.

A full list of qualifiers for the WHHC Mega-Qualifier and the WHHC can be found at www.derbywars.com/tournaments/list/whhc.

The $1,000 WHHC entry includes a $300 live bankroll with $700 to the prize pool with zero takeout. There is a limit of two entries per person. If the contest exceeds 107 entries, the prize pool will increase from $75,000.
