Horseplayers Have Chosen the Pick 4 Races, Advance Deposit Wagering Companies Climb Aboard With New Rewards for the Western Fair $300,000 Molson Pace Pick 4 "Pool Party"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(May 24th, 2011, Charlottesville, VA) -  The Horseplayers Association of North America's Harness Racing division "HANA Harness" has organized it's very first "Pool Party" for the Western Fair pick 4 on Friday, at that tracks' signature event, the $300,000 Molson Pace.  We are happy to announce the races that were chosen by you - the horseplayer - for the pick 4 sequence are finalized. As well, several Adw's have jumped on board offering you brand new rewards for the big evening.

"Pool Parties" were first introduced in 2009 where horseplayers gather to bet a specific pool on a specific day or evening to show support for a racetrack who is being customer friendly in myriad ways. Western Fair Raceway has been customer friendly of late, with free programs, a reduction in takeout on their pick 4 of 15%, and guaranteeing pools.

The races which will make up the pick 4 (which were chosen by horseplayers via an online survey) were as follows: The $300,000 Molson Pace, the Molson Pace Consolation (54%), a Preferred Pace  (47%), and the $130,000 OSS Gold Filly Pace (35%).

We are also pleased to announce several ADWs will be offering brand-new rewards on the card, lowering bettors' effective takeout appreciably.  Ibetharness.com, Horseplayersbet.com, and Americasadw.com have all shown support for the Pool Party. Horseplayer Interactive, Woodbine's online wagering arm, has also offered a new bonus for the card: 10X reward points on trifectas (triactors).  Please visit these Adw websites directly for their deals, residency requirements and full betting menus. If any other Adw's would like to offer a special deal for fans that evening please contact HANA and we will be happy to let players know about your offer. 

The card will also be simulcast as a part of the Meadowlands race card on Friday, and it is being carried by all major ADWs in Canada and the US.

On the HANA Blog this week, we will be posting the free program pages, analysis from a proprietary software program, a professional harness horseplayer 's picks and a link to "Whatwins", a pay site for harness picks that uses artificial intelligence who have graciously allowed us to post their picks for free. Please watch for that this coming Friday.
