Experience the thrill of owning a racehorse for free. The Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association’s Racing Fantasy League is back in 2021. Fantasy stable owners will compete for over $5,000 in prizes and a share of a real Standardbred racehorse will a share in a fractional ownership stable.
Stable owners create a fantasy roster of six horses, four of which can be any age but must be picked from a pre-determined list supplied by the OHHA. The remaining two horses must be Ohio sired two-year-olds. The winning stable will be determined by total earnings between June 1 and Breeders Crown Day October 30, 2021.
The winning stable will receive the grand prize of $2,500 cash and one share in a fractional ownership stable. Second place through fifth place will receive cash prizes. Second place will receive $1,000, third will win $750 cash, fourth receives $500 and fifth place wins $250. Additional monthly and wildcard prizes will be awarded using the same scoring system. Standings will be updated on the OHHA website and via social media outlets.
The league is open to those who have not owned a racing Standardbred within the last two years. Fractional ownerships less than 5 percent do not count for this contest.
Current Standardbred owners are encouraged to participate by inviting their friends and family to participate in the Fantasy Racing League. For each referral noted at the time of registration, the horseman will get one entry into a drawing to win two tickets to this year’s Little Brown Jug Hospitality Tent. This winner will be announced after all entries have been received in May.
Entries are due May 17, 2021 by 11:59 p.m. Visit the OHHA website for complete contest rules, horse lists, and entry forms.
