The prize pool for the Flo-Cal Faceoff is up to $184,522, and eight more qualifiers for it are on tap this weekend. Those represent just a fraction of what’s under the featured-tourney tree, however, this Christmas weekend.

Last week we commented how rare it seemed to have no cap horses come into play in any of the featured tourneys. We may have been incorrect in describing it as rare, though, because almost the same thing happened this past week.
The Flo-Cal Faceoff broke through its $150,000 purse guarantee last weekend and now sits at $165,937. That means that the purse will continue to grow with each successive qualifier—and we have a total of nine of them scheduled on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
We offer featured tourneys 52 weeks a year. Last week alone, there were 29 of them. The sheer volume of action dictates that you seldom see anything you haven’t seen before, but there were two different occurrences this past week that were, if not unprecedented, at least highly unusual.
Think of them as unadvertised specials. They’re not all up on the homepage just yet, but in addition to the multi-track qualifiers to the $150,000 Guaranteed Flo-Cal Faceoff this weekend, there will also be $118 Flo-Cal play-ins that focus purely on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday full cards from Aqueduct and Gulfstream.

Outside of Triple Crown winners, one of the most exclusive clubs in horse racing is that of the NHC Champions. Sadly, that club decreased by one not long ago when the unforgettable John Conte passed away. This past week, there was much happier news on the NHC “Alumni” front, as two past champions rose to […]
Gulfstream Park kicked off the most anticipated portion of its season on Wednesday, and to ratchet up the excitement of their opening weekend just a bit more, we’re unveiling a weekly Friday Big Bucks tourney this week—in addition to the ones that have already become staples of our Saturday and Sunday schedules.
They’ve always been “Big” and now they’re more frequent. By popular demand, HorseTourneys has added a third Big Bucks event to the featured-tourney schedule each week. The new addition comes on Friday — an up-to-$20,000 Pick & Pray with $7,500 Guaranteed. As with the other Big Bucks games on Saturdays and Sundays, the entry fee […]
With fewer people traveling for Thanksgiving this year, perhaps it afforded people more quality time to spend with their computer or hand-held electronic device. Whatever the reason, things were busy around here with 26 featured tourneys during the holiday week. The first of those took place on Wednesday.
Thanksgiving weekend is understandably being celebrated on a smaller scale this year—but not at HorseTourneys! With so many staying home, we’re ramping up with 24 marquee competitions from Thursday to Sunday, including five features on Turkey Day itself.
