The Breeders’ Cup may be in our rear-view mirrors, but there’s a lot of open road in front of us. It’s a highway filled with many attractions, both of the cash and qualifying varieties. Monday is Veterans Day, so that means a four-day weekend and perhaps extra traffic on the roads and at HorseTourneys—but at HorseTourneys, extra traffic is always a good thing. Let’s take a spin through the upcoming four days.
It may not have been a Breeders’ Cup loaded with star power, but races were competitive affairs. Betting records were set on the event, and action was similarly heavy here at HorseTourneys, where several high-end cash games and qualifiers left many of our players with a weekend to remember—especially Mike Martin.
We’re delighted that Breeders’ Cup contests are back on the HorseTourneys betting board in 2019. Whether your’e interested in the full cards each day at Santa Anita, just the Breeders’ Cup races or just the last several races each day, there will be tourneys that fit your preferences, your format and your budget. Before we dive in to it all, though, we want to give you a special heads up about a couple of very important things going on today…Thursday.
Many handicappers are fond of the “Light Bulb angle” which holds that sometimes a horse that took a long time to break his maiden will win a second race right away now that “the light bulb has gone on” and he knows what it takes to win. So it is, perhaps, with Matthew Rentze.
There’s still time—though not much—to join the 2019 Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge field without having to pony up the full $10,000 nut. But before we review this weekend’s featured offerings there and here at HorseTourneys, let’s take a brief look ahead at the Breeders’ Cup tourneys we’ll be offering in a week’s time—including a heads up for you early-bird, last-minute feeder fans.
Congratulations to Cara Yarusso, winner of the 2019 Orleans Fall Classic held October 17-19 at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Howard Welsh isn’t averse to playing various NHC and BCBC qualifiers, but cash games are what he truly considers his sweet spot. And with results like he gets, who could blame him?

A stellar group of 159 players from across North America contested the Keeneland BCBC/NHC Challenge on Sunday, October 13, and local player Nick Mannella came away the big winner.
Lone Star joins—and Del Mar rejoins—the weekend featured qualifier listings this week. Those are just two of 19 featured tourneys that include a number of popular cash games as well. The action gets started on Friday.
It was an exciting Columbus Day weekend around here with several noteworthy performances and close finishes among the 22 featured events on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The action got off to a fast start on Friday with something of a The BIG One rematch.
