Moomey Wins Two More; Wraight Right in 25K; Ruge Exactas the Exacta (Weekend Recap April 8-9)

I had opined in a recent weekend recap that Eric Moomey would probably be sorry to see March come to an end. Maybe not.

All-Stakes Saturday Schedule Plus NHC, BCBC, KDBC, BIG One Qualifiers and $25K event Just a Few of This Weekend’s Highlights

Puhich in Catbird Seat, Holds Top 2 Places Entering Final Day of HPWS

It was hard to imagine Peter Puhich improving on his Day 1 performance when his two entries finished Thursday in 3rd and 7th places. But that’s just what the Renton, Wash., resident did on Friday—registering the second highest Day 2 total on one of his entries, and doing well enough on his other to finish […]

Bill Roth and His Seven-Win Sunday

Bill Roth doesn’t always play multiple tourneys with one set of picks. Even when he got up last Sunday morning, he wasn’t sure how many contests he might enter.
