The Meadowlands Racetrack has announced that ten local New Jersey charitable organizations have been selected to compete in a Charity Handicapping Contest, which will take place on Saturday, May 25.
The contest will offer a $15,000 total donation/prize pool and all ten charities will receive a donation. Prizes will be awarded as follows: 1st Place: $5,000, 2nd Place: $3,000, 3rd Place: $2,000, 4th Place: $1,500, 5th Place: $1,000, 6th-10th: $500.
Organizations will select one (1) horse in each of the 10 designated Meadowlands live races. The organizations will amass a mythical bankroll if their selection officially finishes first, second or third in the designated race. Official $2 WPS (Win, Place, Show) payoffs will be added to the mythical bankroll. Official race results will serve as the order of finish. The organization that accumulates the highest mythical bankroll is the winner.
The participating charities have different missions aimed at improving the lives of people and animals living in the Garden State. To see who the participating charities are, click here.
