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.
This coming Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday (Columbus Day) will primarily be a Pick & Pray weekend, but no matter which format you like best, there will be something for you. Not only are there seven live tourneys sprinkled in on Saturday and Sunday, our featured cash game on Saturday and Sunday will be 25-race All Optional Live events in which you make 10 plays from 25 available race choices.
We all know people who like to brag on social media—or in person—about how wonderfully they’re doing. Everything just seems to go their way all the time. Except that they somehow never get around to telling you about their setbacks…which just makes their uninterrupted tales of success ring extremely hollow.
Justin Dew is not one of those people.
There are Breeders’ Cup preps from coast to coast this weekend, including some many important ones in between the two coasts at Keeneland. So we’re ready to supercharge things with a 23-featured-tourney weekend led by a $40,000 Guaranteed, No Limit Road to the Cup cash game on Saturday that includes nine stakes (five of them Grade Is).
