“Play for Jose” Handicapping Tournament Announced
Maryland Million is one of the best days of the racing year in the Mid-Atlantic region.
And this year, Maryland Horsemen’s Assistance Fund is teaming up with Maryland Million, Laurel Park, and the Racing Biz to bring together this great day with a great cause.
It’s Maryland Million Charity “Play for Jose” Handicapping Tournament!
In September, Maryland-based exercise rider Jose Villegas suffered a nasty fall while galloping a horse. He is now paralyzed from the waist down, though he remains optimistic that he will walk again.
Here’s how it works:
- Sign up and make your selections here.
- We request a voluntary $5 donation to the special fund for Jose (you’ll be contacted after the contest to make the donation).
- Choose 10 races from among the races at Laurel and Charles Town this Saturday (at least five must be from Laurel).
- Make your selections — you’ll get a mythical $2 win-place bet on the horse you choose.
- In addition to your voluntary contribution, The Racing Biz will make a donation to the fund equivalent to what the top finishers accrue.
- One winner receives a $50 prize.
Good luck — and thanks for playing for Jose!
