Eligibility
The following are ineligible to participate: employees of Harrington Raceway or any members of their immediate families. Horsemen (Drivers/trainers/grooms/owners) MAY enter the contest however they are not permitted to enter selections in a race in which they are participating or have some involvement with a horse in the race. Any selections that have such conflict of interest will be cause for disqualification.
Winner Selection
This is a game of skill. The object of the Harrington Raceway Survivor Contest is to select one (1) horse that will officially finish first, second or third in a race of the entrant's choice from each of the 39 days of the 2008 Harrington Raceway Summer/Fall Harness racing meet. For this contest, official race results will serve as the order of finish. The deadline to make each daily selection is 30 minutes prior to the scheduled 1st post. Entrants who correctly select a horse to finish "In the Money" (first, second, or third) are eligible to select a horse for the following race day and continue in the contest. Entrants who fail to correctly select a horse to finish In the Money or fail to make a selection before the deadline of any race day are eliminated from the contest. In the event an entrant's selection is a late scratch or declared a non-starter for pari-mutuel wagering purposes, the entrant will receive the actual betting favorite in that respective race. In the event the entrant selects a horse that is part of a coupled entry or mutuel field, only the individual selection is allowed in the contest. Therefore, the selected horse must finish first, second or third for the entrant to remain eligible in the contest.
How to Play
The goal of the contest is to select one horse from each race card of the 2008 Harrington Raceway Harness racing meet to finish first, second or third. If successful on Day No. 1, you move on to Day No. 2, and so no. The handicapper who lasts the longest gets the only prize: $1,000.
