Hot weather was an issue throughout much of the nation last weekend. Fortunately, it only knocked out one race card and none of our featured tourneys—and that allowed for plenty of winners, including a few double grand-prize victors despite the fact that most of our featured events were run in live format.
The calendar flips from June to July during a HorseTourneys weekend that again offers a robust menu of 17 featured events, plus feeders to two special tourneys the following weekend. It all gets rolling on Friday.
The first feeders to the second annual Pegasus World Cup Betting Championship are now posted on HorseTourneys, and the first direct qualifier to the ultra-high-end, live-bankroll tourney is slated for Sunday, July 8.
It has been quite a June for Peter Deys. That statement would have been true even if he had just rested on his laurels after June 8.

The life of a horseplayer is often one of streaks. Just ask Karen Carey.
One of the slightly odd things about being a tournament player is that our frame of reference for big days can be completely different from that of the rest of the racing world. For 99.9% of racing fans, Justify will be the horse they remember from this past weekend and rightly so. That other tiny […]
Congratulations to Karen Carey, winner of the 2018 Belmont Stakes Challenge. Carey keeps her final bankroll total of $36,571.50 plus she earned a bonus of $60,000 for finishing first, an entry into the 2019 Belmont Stakes Challenge, plus her choice of an entry to the Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge or the NHC.
There are so many reasons to look forward to the upcoming weekend of racing—and HorseTourneys gives you one more: a 14-race, $75,000 Guaranteed live-format event on Belmont Stakes Day in which $75,000 represents the bare minimum of what the purse will be worth. If enough people enter, it could be worth $100,000, $125,000 or more. […]
