A big-money, high-profile onsite handicapping tournament will again be taking place during the last weekend of January next year. But—for the first time in about 15 years—it won’t be the NHC.
No matter what your plans are Saturday…no matter from where you plan to watch Always Dreaming’s attempt to win the second jewel of the Triple Crown, you need to devote at least part of your day to HorsePlayers where the very best type of Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge (BCBC) qualifier will be offered—a free one!
Congratulations to Kevin McFarland, winner of this weekend’s Kentucky Derby Betting Championship. Kevin keeps his live-money bankroll o $50,325, and including tournament prize money, he wins a total of $282,325, plus a $10,000 Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge entry and an NHC berth.

We went a little easy on the contest schedule this weekend because we know that a whole bunch of you are out in Las Vegas playing for $800,000. But I’ll say this—what we did schedule this weekend is really good. And even if you ARE fortunate enough to be out at Treasure Island right now, […]
