Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 1, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 1, 2019 Registration is now open for Monmouth Park’s $2,000 Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge June 1. In 2018, the Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge was the only contest in the country to award 20 seats to the National Horseplayers Championship (NHC) in Las Vegas. Additional prizes included six full seats to the $10,000 Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge, and cash prizes totaling over $78,000. Interested players must pre-register prior to Monday, May 27. The $1,000 entry fee must be paid in advance with the remaining $1,000 bankroll paid day-of. Entry fees can be paid via credit card, while bankroll payments are cash only. Per contest rules, there is a maximum of two entries per person. To register, players should contact tournament director Brian Skirka at 732-571-6595 or bskirka@monmouthpark.com. New for 2019, Pick Your Prize weekend will also consist of a second tournament June 2. The $300 buy-in contest will award a 2020 NHC seat to the top three finishers and cash prizes to the top 10. “In talking to players, this new schedule will make the entire weekend a great qualifying opportunity,” Skirka said. “One weekend now has two chances to qualify, which gives out-of-town players a second reason to come out or stay an extra day. It also gives our local players a second contest option at a lower buy-in during Pick Your Prize weekend.” For players looking to win their win into the Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge, weekly feeder contests are currently available on www.horsetourneys.com and www.drf.com.
