Enrollment is now open for Meadowlands Racetrack's Summer Survival Challenge, a free online wagering game featuring real cash prizes
.
The game begins Friday, May 28 and concludes Hambletonian Day, Saturday, August 7. The winner is determined by the highest total bankroll at the end of the Challenge based on a $2 "across the board" wager [win, place and show] on selections for three designated races each program. To continue in the game, entrants have to "survive" by finishing in-the-money [first through third] with at least one of their selections each day.
The grand prize is $2,000, plus entry into the 2011 National Harness Handicapping Championship at the Meadowlands. Second-place prize is $1,000 and an IPOD Shuffle, while third-place prize is $500 and a Shuffle. There is also a bonus award of $500 for Most Number of Winners.
The contest is open to legal residents of the United States and Canada, and all selections must be made through the Survival Challenge website. No selections will be accepted by phone, fax, e-mail or any other means. Past performances for the three designated races are provided through the game board. The deadline for selections each day is 30 minutes before first race post time.
