It has been announced that the Meadowlands Racetrack’s always popular Meadowlands Championship Meet Survival Challenge is back for 2019.

The challenge, which is powered by 123Racing, will see cash prizes and World Harness Handicapping Championship seats up for grabs. The online competition will get underway on Friday, May 3. Registration is now open.

Trackmaster will provide Platinum Past Performances for each night of the contest.
The game covers the Meadowlands’ Championship Meet, featuring millions in stakes races and the best pacers and trotters in the sport. The game will conclude on Hambletonian Day (Saturday, August 3, 2019).

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, one ‘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 $1,000 and a 2020 WHHC Spot. The second-place prize is $500 and a 2020 WHHC Spot. The third-place prize is $250 and a 2020 WHHC Spot. The Most Winners prize will be $250.

The contest is open to legal residents of the United States and Canada that are 18 years of age 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, email or any other means. Trackmaster Platinum Past performances for the three designated races will be provided through the game board.

The deadline for selections each day is 30 minutes before 7:15 p.m. post time for the first race. The only exception being Hambletonian Day, Saturday, August 3 (post time 12 noon). After 30 minutes to post, all selections are final.
