It sounds a little strange to be saying this—since the 2021 NHC is still seven months away—but qualifying for the 2022 NHC begins…this weekend!

Perhaps only Tom Brady had a better Sunday than Michael Caposio.
Our featured-tourney schedule stays largely consistent from week to week, so we tend to begin these previews with what’s special relative to last week or next week. This week, that means we need to focus on the Pegasus World Cup Betting Championship and the NHC.
The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday—along with qualifiers galore for the Pegasus World Cup and Players Championship—made for a long and lucrative week around here. There are 31 featured tourneys to recap…the first two of which took place on Wednesday.
The ink is barely dry on Alan Levitt’s $206,000 Flo-Cal Faceoff winner’s check, but it’s time to look forward to the next leg of the 2021 Tourney Triple—the April 2-3 Players Championship.
Though much of the $570,373 Flo-Cal Faceoff seemed dominated by short prices, there were a couple of cap horses out there during the two-day competition, and Alan Levitt of Baltimore capitalized on both of them—including 29-1 Five Pics Please in the final contest race—to score an improbable, come-from-behind victory worth a total of $206,443.

As of Thursday afternoon—with over a full day of qualifying plus buy-ins still to go—the pot sits at $338,512.
