Jose Giron Unleashes Christmas Eve Blitz; Scott Fiedler Wins Cash and Flo-Cal Faceoff Seat; Terry Jerge Also Headed to the Flo-Cal…and the BCBC (Weekly Recap, December 22-26)

It’s hard to have a better day than Jose Giron did on Christmas Eve. Not only did Giron pick six winners (and one runner up) out of 10 races, his six tallies included the three highest-priced horses of the day.

Three NHC Qualifiers and Two BCBC Play-ins Among 16 Featured Tourneys Offered on Day Before and Day After Christmas

William Smith Sweeps Saturday Cash Features; Kirk Rockwell Finishes First on Three Consecutive Days; Frank Polk Collects $8,977 and an NHC Seat (Weekly Recap, December 15-19)

It has seldom been harder to determine whom to include in the headline of a Monday recap than this week because, by my unofficial count, 10 players collected more than grand prize this past week.  Saturday seemed like an especially unlikely day for multiple winners. First off, six of the nine featured events were contested […]

Final Weekend Before Christmas Offers Full Slate of Featured Cash Tourneys and Qualifiers at HorsePlayers and HorseTourneys

Not to dampen the holiday mood, but Christmas falls on a Saturday this year—which means there will be no tracks open on Saturday, the 25th and only a couple (Gulfstream and Tampa) racing on Friday, the 24th. So, in essence, if you want to hunker down and fire away for cash or important contest seats, […]

Steve Arrison Wins Two on Wednesday and Another Two on Saturday; HT Tour Leader Jorge Cruz-Aedo Pads His Lead and Also Picks Up NHC Seat; A Sunday Three-Bagger for Gregg Kingma (Weekly Recap, December 8-12)

It’s always a noteworthy feat when a player has the skill and the courage of conviction to win multiple tourneys in a single day. It’s a far rarer occurrence when someone manages to pull such a thing off twice in one week. But that’s what Steve Arrison did.

NHC, BCBC, Flo-Cal Faceoff, Tampa, Santa Anita and Bally’s Seats Can All Potentially be Crossed Off Your Shopping List This Friday, Saturday and Sunday at HorseTourneys and HorsePlayers

We contest players can sometimes be hard to buy for.

So why not ease the burden for your family members and buy for yourself…by winning what you really want […]

A Saturday Hat Trick for Pete Acocella; Daniel Fischer Orders Up a Flo-Cal Seat with a Side of Big Bucks; Another Lucrative Week for Rudolph Hardin (Weekly Recap, December 1-5)

With 33 featured tourneys this past week, we were busier than Joe Namath and Jimmie “J.J.” Walker during the last few days of Medicare Part C enrollment. We weren’t able to award any free rides to medical appointments, but we did hand out lots of cash and important contest seats to a number of skillful […]

Adam Lewis Powers His Way to Three Sunday Victories; Joe Scanio, Clint Littlejohn, Ted Apple and Evan Trommer Each Triumph on Multiple Days; Charlie Ricks Picks Eight Winners out of 10 Races (Weekly Recap, November 24-28)

The players came out in force over the extended Thanksgiving weekend. None of the 28 featured tourneys failed to fill, and all of the marquee cash games comfortably exceeded their purse guarantees. And yet, perhaps the best performance of all came in the very first featured tourney of the week.
