Weekend two-baggers are always impressive—and doubly so, in my mind, when they don’t occur on the same day. We had a couple of those last weekend.
We can’t guarantee that you’ll be a winner this weekend. However, we can pretty much guarantee that things will be exciting. And we can also guarantee that there will be plenty of guarantees. The first guarantee is guaranteed to come on Friday.
It was Easter Weekend and the beginning of Passover, so HorseTourneys stayed true to that religious theme by having last weekend be dominated by Pick & Pray games. (That plus the fact that we alternate the slant each week, and the previous weekend had a live-format tilt.) The results had many giving thanks to the […]
“Challenge” is a key word in the world of handicapping contests. “Challenge” is to contests as “Stakes” is to big races. On Easter Sunday, you can qualify for the first time to the 2019 renewals of three Challenges. It’s sure to be, ahem, challenging. As usual, though, the featured-tourney action at HorseTourneys gets started on […]
(courtesy of Jim Goodman, Keeneland) Overcoming inclement weather and late changes to the contest landscape, Faron McCubbins of Mount Washington, Ky., hammered the 9th race at Keeneland with an $800 exacta on 8-10 that paid $28,560, resulting in an incredible final bankroll of $31,560 that bested 180 other contestants in the Keeneland Grade One Gamble.

It was a live-format weekend with lots of longshots and multiple paths to victory (at least on Saturday and Sunday). That meant that almost no one was able to win more than one big prize. There was one notable exception, however.
This weekend represents your last chance to spot your Derby horse in prep action—and your first chance to play a couple of exciting new events. It’s all part of a 16-featured-tourneys weekend that gets rolling on Friday.
There were lots of double winners on this predominantly Pick & Pray weekend, and we’ll get to them all. We’re going to start with Cheryl Knepper, though. She only won one prize per se, but in many respects, she was a double winner too—arguably one of the most impressive such double-uppers that we’ve seen lately.
The three-day format of the Horse Player World Series—and Las Vegas, itself—makes for a grueling and intense few days. I happened to add a couple of extra days to my Orleans journey to bet on some baseball and basketball and, as a result, I STILL am catching up on my sleep from last weekend. My […]
Last Saturday, Paul Sadler selected Maximum Security and won $22,500 in our Florida Derby Day $50,000 Guaranteed event. This Saturday, it could be you and your Derby horse that get the spotlight…and the money…in our Wood/Blue Grass/Santa Anita Derby Day $35,000 Guaranteed Pick & Pray. It’s the highlight of an 18-featured-tourneys weekend that gets started […]
