Robert Childress Wins Three Tourneys After 0-for-8 Start; Six Modestly Priced Winners Earn $9,000 for Darren Rudnick; Seven a Lucky Number in BCBC qualifier (Weekend Recap June 21-23)

It appeared to be a “Lost Sunday” for Robert Childress. He entered a bunch of featured tourney, and to say that things weren’t going well would be putting it mildly. Here was his scoresheet (on all three of his Sunday entries) after eight of the day’s first 12 races:

Del Mar Qualifier, Big Bucks and Regular $10,000 Guaranteed Tourneys, First Chance at Stars & Stripes Plus Six Certain NHC Seats Among the Highlights of Weekend Jam-Packed with 20 Featured Events

If you like action, this is a really terrific weekend coming up at HorseTourneys and HorsePlayers. We have a total of 20 featured events on the Friday-Saturday-Sunday schedule and a rich blend of significant cash games and qualifiers to some of the top brick-and-mortar tournaments around the country. An excellent microcosm of the weekend offerings […]

Brett Wiener and Basil DeVito Come Flying Home Late to Grab NHC seats; Paul Shurman and Evan Trommer Post Gaudy Cash Game Scores; Nate Newby Takes Sunday NHC Qualifier (Weekend Recap June 14-16)

There were 15 featured events at HorseTourneys and HorsePlayers last weekend. They offered a combined 25 grand prizes, and despite 10 of the 15 tourneys being Pick & Prays, those 25 top prizes were won by 25 different people. So we have a lot of ground to cover…and a lot of smart people to recognize. […]

New, Two-Guaranteed Qualifier to The BIG One Plus First Chance at Orleans Fall Classic and Last Chance to Santa Anita Spring Challenge Highlight 15-Tourney Mid-June Weekend

Changes, additions, last chances, pot sweeteners. They’re all part of a 15-featured-tourney weekend that gets under way on Friday.

Opportunity Knocking Louder Than Ever with The BIG One

When you run a contest site, some tourneys fill up faster than others. If you never guarantee prizes, then it doesn’t matter all that much, but if you prefer to be aggressive with guarantees like we do, it can be a problem.

It’s Michael Goodrich By a Pole in $75,000, Four-Percent-Takeout Tourney; Bill Chenvert Collects in Every Race of Del Mar Qualifier; Ryan Ehrhardt Turns $60 deposit into $17,000. (Weekend Recap June 7-9)

It seemed to be a weekend of unusually—almost shockingly—good contest performances. You almost never see a large, 150+-person tourney where most of the top finishers are bunched together but the leader is way out in front. That’s what happened in our Belmont Stakes Day $75,000 game, though.

Special $75,000 Guaranteed Tourney Tops Belmont Stakes Weekend, Which Also Includes All-Optional NHC Qualifier, First Chance at Lone Star and Qualifier to Del Mar

Belmont Stakes Day this Saturday offers the best betting card this side of the Breeders’ Cup, and you can turn your smart handicapping opinions into big money via our big $75,000 Guaranteed tourney.

John Doyle Wins Yet Another BCBC Entry; Gregg Kingma Makes Incredible Last-to-First Rally in NHC Qualifier; Patrick Stich Wins Big at Monmouth (Weekend Recap May 31-June 2)

Just as there are horses for courses, some contest players seem to do better at certain venues. It may be due to easier travel…or an intangible familiarity with the atmosphere and surroundings…or a confidence level that is boosted by previous successes there, but I’d wager that we all secretly have a “favorite” contest location.

Free NHC Qualifier and Belmont Stakes Last-Chance Tourney the Top Attractions During First Weekend in June

On a weekend when many will be at Monmouth hoping to “Pick Their Prize”, the rest of us (and probably those at Monmouth as well) can count on being able to “Play for Free.”

Emulating Babe Ruth and Joe Namath, Anthony Trezza Calls His Shot in $21,000 All-Optional Tourney; Kevin Willett Wins On Saturday and Monday; All Good for the Goodalls on Sunday (Weekend Recap May 24-27)

There was a lot of chatter regarding the long-awaited return of the All-Optional Live format to HorseTourneys. Many seemed to enjoy the opportunity to select which races (from a bank of 25) they played. Others may have just been excited to try their hand at a new format.
