Monmouth Park will host a $400 buy-in handicapping contest offering two 2027 NHC seats, four Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge seats for this year and cash prizes on Saturday, May 30.

The NHC seats and Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge seats available are based on 125 entries.

The $400 buy-in covers the $200 entry fee and the $200 contest bankroll.

Monmouth Park, which will feature three turf stakes races and five grass races overall on Saturday’s eight-race card, and Churchill Downs are the contest tracks to wager on.

The wagering format is win, place and show only, with a minimum bet of $20. Contestants must bet at least $200 total.

In addition to the two 2027 NHC seats and four 2026 Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge seats, an estimated $8,000 will be paid out to the top five finishers. The top six finishers get one pick of an NHC or Pick Your Prize seat.

Registration is day-of only from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the first floor of the Clubhouse.

The contest is a prelude to the Pick Your Prize contest on June 13 that is the Monmouth Park’s biggest of the year. The expected prize pool for that contest is $300,000-plus.

All players must be registered for the Pick Your Prize contest next month.
