All You Need is a Horse and a Hope

Last weekend’s action at HorseTourneys reminded me of a couple of old slogans — both of them gambling related.

Scott Coles Heading Back to NHC; Ken Seeman Covers All the Bases; Incredible Performance by Anthony DiGiovanni (Weekly Recap April 22-26)

With live, brick-and-mortar tournaments on “pause” for the time being, one can’t help but wonder if the field for the 2021 NHC might be a bit smaller than usual. Last week’s tourneys here, however, certainly gave next February’s event a major boost with 14 seats flying out the door.

Free, Two-Day NHC Qualifier Highlights Predominantly Pick & Pray Weekend that Offers Another $58,000 in Guaranteed Cash

The featured weekend action gets started with a bang on Friday with a free NHC qualifier at HorsePlayers. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with the parameters, though, because this is not your father’s free NHC qualifier.

Two More Sarah Wiener Winners; Extra Heavy Workload for Matt Bernier at Breeders’ Cup; Gary Bain Scores His Second NHC Seat of the Month (Weekly Recap April 15-19)

Different households deal with staying home all day in various ways. For the Wiener family in Clearwater, Fla., it has apparently been one long game of “Can You Top This?”

Newly-Enriched Saturday Cash Game Among 19 Featured Tourneys Set to Go During Upcoming Live-Format Weekend

This weekend’s featured schedule looks a lot like last weekend’s featured schedule. Not surprising, I suppose, since everything seems on a bit of a holding pattern right now. Not everything is static here at HorseTourneys, however. We hope to have news shortly about new track offerings from Australia…and we already have news about a purse […]

More Wins for Wieners; Ragab Captures Second Big Money Cash Game in as Many Weeks; Another Happy Humpday for “Husker” Henry (Weekly Recap April 8-12)

The workweek has taken on a decidedly different feel of late, but Wednesdays are still the humpday in the Monday-to-Friday continuum. Typically, it is just a day to get through and get past…but not for James Henry.

Unique “Single Track Sunday” Highlights a Weekend Containing Plenty of Pick & Prays

I’m not sure how religious it is, but we here at HorseTourneys are celebrating Easter/Passover weekend with 19 featured events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In fact, the Easter holiday will bring about a special change in our Sunday schedule. More on that later. First…on to Friday!

Brett Wiener Follows up Wednesday Score With Three More on Friday; Ken Seeman Nets a Sunday Hat Trick; Hesham Ragab Wins $16,659 (Weekend Recap April 1-5)

These weekend recaps normally cover the Friday/Saturday/Sunday featured action. However, I’ve decided to now include Wednesday in these summaries for two main reasons: 1. We now have some pretty impressive Wednesday offerings—including NHC and Spa & Surf qualifiers. 2.If you’re like me, being home all the time makes it hard to keep the days of […]

Increased Cash-Game Guarantees and Racing from Australia Introduced During Upcoming “All Optional Live” Weekend at HorseTourneys

If you’ve been enjoying the online-tourney action during this otherwise quiet period for sports—but you wish that there was something to play at night, we have two words for you: “No worries.”

Dylan Donnelly Scores Saturday Hat Trick, then Adds Five-Figure Sunday Triumph for Good Measure; Howard Welsh Captures his Third “Big Bucks” of the Month; Two for Dew at the NHC (Weekend Recap March 25-30)

It wound up being another Friday without featured tourneys. Last week it was Laurel that unexpectedly shut down on Friday morning. This past Friday, Santa Anita had to take an involuntary “pause” just 40 minutes prior to its first race. Featured tourneys continued, though, on Saturday and Sunday—and there were even a few (for the […]
