Big M To Host Survivor Challenge

Published: April 30, 2015 08:08 pm EDT

It will be a battle to the finish for cash prizes in the new look Meadowlands Racetrack’s Championship meet Survival Challenge 2015 powered by 123Racing, an online handicapping competition that begins Friday, May 1.

Entries for Friday & Saturday along with Trackmaster Platinum Past Performances are now available at survival-challenge.com.

The game covers the Meadowlands’ Summer Championship Meet, featuring millions in stakes races and the best pacers and trotters in training. The game concludes on Hambletonian Day on Saturday, August 8.

The winner is determined by the highest total bankroll at the end of the Challenge based on a $2 “across the board” wager [win, place and show] on selections for three designated races each program.

However, to continue in the game, entrants have to “survive” by finishing in-the-money [first through third] with at least one of their selections each day. Failing to do so or not making selections knocks the player out of the game. To aid in the player’s survival a “lucky horseshoe” is given. The lucky horseshoe is a “free pass” given to all Challenge participants that allows the player to survive if he does not make selections for a race card or all three of his selections fail to hit the board.

- The grand prize is $2,000.
- The second-place prize is $1,000.
- The third-place prize is $500.
- There is also a bonus award of $500 for Most Number of Winners.

The contest is open to legal residents of the United States and Canada 18 years and older, and all selections must be made through the format provided on the Survival Challenge website page. No selections will be accepted by phone, fax, e-mail or any other means. Trackmaster Platinum Past performances for the three designated races will be provided through the game board.

The deadline for selections each day is 30 minutes before 7:15 p.m. post time for the first race. Exceptions include Saturday, May 2 [first post is 5:30 p.m.], Friday, July 10 [first post is 5:30 pm], Saturday, July 11 [first post is 5:30 pm] and Hambletonian Day [post time 12 noon].
