All-Optional Tourneys Make a Long-Awaited Return on Saturday and Sunday During Mammoth, 25-Featured-Events Memorial Day Weekend

It’s Memorial Day Weekend, which means four days of featured-tourney action instead of three. All counted, we have 25 different big-prize events this weekend—which I believe is a HorseTourneys record. The star of the weekend, however, is not the largesse, but the return of an old friend…one that many of you said you missed. The […]

All-Optional Live Tourneys Return This Weekend; Players Can Choose Which Races They Play

By popular demand, All-Optional Live format tourneys are returning to HorsePlayers this Saturday and Sunday, May 25 and 26. The vast majority of our featured events will utilize this special format on those two days.

Clint Littlejohn Wins $30,000 in Overlaid $75,000 Guaranteed Preakness Day Tourney; Joe Johnson Sweeps Saturday HorsePlayers Features (Weekend Recap May 17-19)

The bad news for us here at HorseTourneys was that Saturday’s $75,000 Guaranteed tourney didn’t quite fill. The good news for you is that a guarantee is a guarantee and, of course, we paid out the full amount despite taking a loss. And we’re game enough (some might say foolhardy enough) to do it all […]

Saturday’s $75,000-Guaranteed, No-Limit Cash Tourney the Star of Preakness Weekend at HorseTourneys

The Preakness will miss the presence of Country House and Maximum Security, but everyone seems to agree that the baker’s dozen that were entered for Saturday’s middle jewel of the Triple Crown make for a wide open and intriguing betting race. That race serves as the anchor leg of the Saturday featured contest races, and […]

Peter Rogers Picks Nine Winners En Route to Double-Victory Saturday; Sean O’Malley Finishes Second Five Times on Sunday; Another Cash Game Score for Craig Hom (Weekend Recap May 10-12)

Impressive performances abounded during the sandwich weekend between the Derby and Preakness. Arguably the closest, most exciting finish, though, took place right off the bat on Friday.

Big Bucks Tourney, Last Chance for Santa Anita Preakness Challenge, First Chance for Santa Anita Spring Challenge and $8 Pick Six Jackpot Game Highlight Weekend’s 19 Featured Events

We’re already very excited for Preakness Day. Country House and Maximum Security won’t be there, but our $75,000 Guaranteed tourney WILL be. Feeders to this $495 buy-in game continue all weekend long for as little as $27.

Looking Back at a Memorable Derby

You can like the final result or not like it, but it’s safe to say we won’t be forgetting this Run for the Roses anytime soon.

Tony Martin and Ken Seeman Score Double Wins; Ernest Hey Jr. and John Doyle Keep Rolling (Weekend Recap May 5)

Because the Kentucky Derby took place on Saturday and an unexpected cancellation at Belmont knocked out too many contest races on Friday, all of the weekend’s featured-tourney action (10 events) was compressed into Sunday—and that was just fine with Tony Martin.

Ten Contests on Sunday Including Up-to-$20,000 Pick & Pray and Qualifiers to BCBC, NHC, Spa & Surf Showdown and Belmont, Preakness, Saratoga Challenges Top Special Friday/Sunday Featured Tourney Schedule

We know you will be understandably focused on the Derby this Saturday, and since we are not able to offer Churchill races, we have diverted all of our weekend featured events to either Friday or Sunday. It’s not exactly an even split, though. One of the “featured eleven” will go Friday and the rest on […]

“This Horse Has No Shot…but He’ll be on My Tickets!”

As contest players, many of us have been conditioned, out of necessity, to zero in on a single horse that we like best in a race and make that our selection. That type of thinking doesn’t seem to hold much sway with respect to people who provide their analysis each year of the Kentucky Derby. […]
