Online handicapping contest beginning April 26 offers free entry,
$1,500 top prize
Vernon Downs is giving fans and horseplayers another way to
win big this season by launching a free-to-enter online handicapping contest
beginning April 26. Though the competition does not begin until April 26, free
registration is open now.
Vernon Downs Showdown requires contestants to select one
horse in any race each racing night. That
horse must finish first, second or third in order for the contestant to remain in
the competition. If the contestant is
successful, they will advance to the next race night, otherwise, they will be
eliminated.
The contestant that lasts the longest will win the $1,500
top prize. The runner-up will receive $750.
“I think this is a great contest because it sounds so
simple, not only for our newer handicappers and racing fans, but also for the more
experienced horseplayers out there,” said Justin Horowitz, Regional Racing
Marketing Manager for Vernon Downs. “I’m hoping this will prove to be a great
way to help showcase our product to fans across North
America.”
Fans are encouraged to register now by visiting showdown.vernondowns.com.
All contestants must be registered and submit their
selection no later than 10 minutes before the first post time at Vernon Downs.
First post time on April 26 is 6:45 p.m.
Free online streaming video is also available on the Vernon
Downs website so contestants can follow along with their selections each race
night.
Vernon Downs’s historic 60th Anniversary season
resumes Friday with a 6:45 p.m. first post time.
