Wagering Seminars At Mohawk

It has been announced that an educational wagering program will be taking place at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26.

With the upcoming Breeders Crown at Woodbine Mohawk Park on October 25 and 26, the U.S. Trotting Association has announced that it has partnered with the Daily Racing Form to present a wagering educational program called ‘Learn to Bet Harness.’

“We are pleased to expand our partnership with Daily Racing Form with this program that will promote our championship day in harness racing and be beneficial to both new fans as well as players who want to improve their handicapping skills,” said USTA Executive Vice President and CEO Mike Tanner.

On Breeders Crown Saturday, the national print edition of the DRF will feature a special “Learn to Bet Harness” section that will examine all aspects of handicapping harness races with best practices from industry experts and tips from some of the best handicappers in the country. The special section will be seen by horse players across North America.

“People often say horse racing is too difficult for new people to learn by themselves. That’s nonsense. People simply need the tools,” said DRF Harness Editor Derick Giwner. “If I can Google how to change an electrical outlet or build an extension to my house, I should be able to find meaningful information on how to handicap harness racing.

“The ‘Learn to Bet Harness’ insert coupled with the video series will go a long way toward furthering the mission of increasing our sport’s exposure to a wider audience,” added Giwner. “With the reach of DRF and USTA through digital, print and social media, this could truly move the needle in terms of education for the general public as well as Thoroughbred players who may have been hesitant to cross over.”
