Details have been announced in regard to a free handicapping contest that will be taking place this Saturday (Oct. 31).
The United States Harness Writers Association (USHWA) will host the final free harness racing handicapping contest for the 2020 season on Scott Alberg’s Facebook page on Saturday, October 31. The contest is centred on Breeders Crown Night, which will be taking place at Harrah’s Hoosier Park.
One of the Breeders Crown races will be the special race that contestants will be challenged to handicap. Entry is free of charge and there is no purchase necessary to play. All you have to do is select the correct exactor (first two official finishers in the race. Must submit their starting post position by number).
Harrah’s Hoosier Park is sponsoring the three prizes that will be given away. First place will receive a $150 gift card, second place a $75 gift card, and third place a gift box with 30 different popular candy bars in it.
Scott Alberg, the 2006 National Harness Handicapping champion, who also has numerous other handicapping titles, has been a Standardbred owner in the past, and has agreed to partner with USHWA as the contest's title sponsor.
To enter the free contest, fans must go to Scott Alberg’s Facebook page (here), where the contest will be prominently displayed. Entries will be accepted beginning Thursday, October 9. Alberg, as he has done in the past, will run the contest. Participants have until 4:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon (Oct. 31) to enter the contest. All rules and regulations will be posted for the contest.
Anyone who is not on Facebook can still enter the contest by sending in their selections via email to [email protected].
USHWA members Garnet and Nicholas 'Ace' Barnsdale will host the Facebook Live drawing to determine the contest winners at 12:00 noon Sunday, November 1 at facebook.com/USHarnessWriters.
