Four spots are up for grabs in the Saturday, April 30th WHHC qualifier at the Meadowlands Racetrack.
The qualifier has a $400 total fee ($200 entry plus a $200 real-money bankroll). The format requires players to bet a minimum of $20 to WIN on exactly 10 Meadowlands races. Players can register on-site Saturday up until 6:20 pm.
Other Meadowlands Onsite Qualifiers are:
- Saturday, June 4, 2022 – Free Contest with winner earning WHHC Final seat

The World Harness Handicapping Championship is a one-day tournament [September 10, 2022]. Players that did not earn a seat through a qualifying event can directly buy-in for $1,000. The $1,000 entry fee includes a $300 bankroll, with the remaining $700 going to the prize pool. The WHHC contest format requires players to bet 10 races: their choice of seven Meadowlands races, plus three designated mandatory races. Players keep all pari-mutuel winnings. Prize payouts are to the Top 10.
