Per HorseTourneys rules, we cancel any tourney that doesn’t complete 70% or more of […]

You don’t need me to tell you that there will be action galore this weekend, with the running of the Breeders’ Cup this Friday and Saturday at Santa Anita. Let’s take a look at how the action shapes up from a tournament perspective here at HorseTourneys. There’s a lot of ground to cover, but from […]
