After a brief hiatus, live money handicapping contests are returning to the Meadowlands Racetrack, with the first contest scheduled for Saturday, March 23rd.
While there is no entry fee, a $100 betting card must be purchased in order to participate, as this is a live money/wagering contest. However, the betting card will come with a chance to compete for the prize pool of a guaranteed $5000 in winnings, paid for in full by the Racetrack. All players must register/check-in at the Clubhouse lobby by 6:20 p.m. but can choose to check in as early as 5:30 p.m.
The contest format goes as follows:
- Contestants must bet a minimum 10 Meadowlands races.
- $10 minimum bet per race; no maximum bet.
- Win, Place, Show and/or Exacta wagers only.
- One horse per race.
- Contestants keep all pari-mutuel winnings.
- Unlimited entries allowed per person.
- Players keep all pari-mutuel winnings
