Christmas falls on a Monday this year. Which means that Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday. And we’re not operating any contests on Christmas Eve (or Day). So for committed weekend warriors, this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday represents a nice chance to get a full, three-day weekend of competitions in ahead of Santa’s visit […]
Timothy Yohler finished with a bankroll of $5,297 to top a field of 43 and win the inaugural Caribbean Classic Betting Challenge at Gulfstream Park on Saturday, December 9.
From a macro sense, there were two happy contest developments that took place over the weekend. 1) We got all of our Saturday featured tourneys in. Late Friday night and early Saturday morning, that seemed far from a certainty; and 2) Of the 13 featured weekend tourneys that took place, there were 21 first-prize winners. […]
As the 2017 calendar marches forward, HorseTourneys marches on with another robust weekend offering significant cash and a host of desirable live-tournament seats, including seven to next February’s NHC.
Of the 128 entries that left the starting gate for last Saturday’s $78,729 cash game at HorseTourneys, Tanya Taylor, in hindsight, had to be among the least likely winners—at least as of the start of the day.
Capped off by Krysto Skye’s 13-1 victory in the next-to-last contest race, the 7th at Los Alamitos, Tanya Taylor of Little Rock, Arkansas, amassed a total of $119.80 and topped a field of 128 to capture the $35,428 top prize in Saturday’s $70,000-$100,000 tourney.
It would have been an exciting weekend anyway, what with Gulfstream opening its meet on Saturday, and Aqueduct running the Cigar Mile, Remsen and Demoiselle that day too. But we’re turning up the flame in a big way Saturday with our third $100,000 game of the year.
This week, when Gulfstream and Turfway open their winter meets, is always one of my favorite ones of the year from a cold, crass handicapping perspective. This doesn’t mean I will do well at either of these tracks. It also doesn’t mean, necessarily, that Gulfstream and Turfway are among my favorite tracks. But I’m confident […]
According to The Harris Poll, Christmas is America’s favorite holiday, followed by Thanksgiving. But clearly horseplayers were under-represented in that survey. Otherwise Thanksgiving would have won by open lengths—because it combines all the fun of food and family with the very important fact that the tracks are fully open for business.
Tuesday seems like an odd day of the week to preview the upcoming weekend of featured tourneys. But it’s Thanksgiving week and, as far as we’re concerned, that means a five-day weekend. Needless to say, we’ll be ready for you with a little something special each day.
