Dane Moore’s December to Remember Continues; “Boom Boom” Joffrion Lights the Cash Game Lamp Twice; Michael Kavana Scores a Hat Trick (Weekend Recap December 20-22)

When it came to the NHC, Dane Moore entered December on the outside looking in. In fact, he wasn’t just outside…he was way down the street. He had just 3,500 or so Tour Points to his name but then the calendar flipped—and so did Moore’s fortunes.

Pre-Christmas Pick & Pray Weekend Offers Two Dozen Featured Tourneys, Including Friday Flo-Cal Qualifier, Two Guaranteed $10,000 Sunday Games and at Least Six NHC Seats

Some people just go to church on Christmas and Easter, but we here at HorseTourneys surround ourselves in prayer on a regular basis…at least every other weekend! This weekend happens to be one of those Pick & Pray weekends—which could leave you more time for some holiday shopping. If nothing else, it will relieve you […]

Phillip Conway Sweeps the Saturday-Sunday Featured Cash Tourneys, Dave Nichols and Brian Chenvert Each Win a Pair During Wild Sunday (Weekend Recap December 13-15)

We’re always impressed when a player has success on more than one day of the weekend. Horse Racing is a hard game in which to be consistent.

The holiday shopping season is suddenly in full swing (I’m already behind), and so is the contest qualifying season with the NHC and the Pegasus World Cup Betting Championship not too distant on the horizon. Due in no small part to that, we set an unofficial record this weekend with 25 featured tourneys. I have […]

Robbie Courtney’s Special Seat at the NHC

When you play in — or report on — enough contests, it’s easy to overlook how much a victory might mean to someone…especially when it’s not us doing the winning.

Nixon Goes Back for Seconds on Thanksgiving; Two Past NHC Champs Earn 
Berths to the 2020 Event (Weekend Recap November 28-December 1)

If you spent time with family and managed to travel to and fro safely despite some bad weather around the country, you had a pretty successful Thanksgiving weekend. If, at the same time, you managed to prosper in a handicapping contest, then you had an even more memorable weekend. Plenty of people did just that […]
