Twelve of harness racing’s top handicappers will be playing for charity on Saturday (Oct. 27) in a unique contest on the 12 Breeders Crown championships at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. The Breeders Crown Handicapping Contest is sponsored by the Hambletonian Society/Breeders Crown with total money of $1,750 to be awarded to three designated charities.
The 12 players have been divided into three teams of four members each. The team with the most money at the end of Saturday’s Breeders Crown championship card will earn $1,000 for its designated charity. Second place is worth $500 and third place will earn $250.
Each team member handicapped three races. All wagers are mythical and players for each race will be limited to $100 maximum win or win/place combination, $100 maximum in total exacta wagers, and $120 maximum in total trifecta wagers.
The three designated charities are: Harness Horse Youth Foundation, New Vocations and Standardbred Retirement Foundation. The team names honour the three richest North American-based Standardbreds in history as well as past Breeders Crown champions.
Here are the team selections:
