Handicapping is difficult enough that any good day is worth celebrating. William McMillan didn’t have just one day to feel happy about, though. He was on a near-weeklong heater.

It began on Thursday.

Almost all of the Saturday and Sunday Featured Tourneys last weekend were conducted in Live format. However, when Temecula, Calif., car dealer Michael Caposio plays Live games here, he typically treats them like Pick & Prays. On Sunday, that method worked extremely well for him.

I have no reason to believe that Evan Trommer is a selfish person. However, he certainly hijacked the Fourth of July—at least around here at HorseTourneys.

With the Saratoga meet set to begin on Friday, July 3, we will once again be offering a Super Survivor tourney like we have done previously for Keeneland and Gulfstream—except that, this time around, there will be two such games available to play. One with the customary one-time entry fee of $50, and one with a buy-in of $250. So choose your pleasure. Or choose them both.

For those of you unfamiliar with our Super Survivor tourneys, here’s how they work:

Last March, Kevin Engelhard was inducted into the NHC Hall of Fame. Last Thursday, he made sure that he will be playing two entries the next time he shows up at the big dance.

Sometimes you’re good, sometimes you’re lucky and sometimes you’re both. On Sunday, Jimmy Cosenza was definitely good.

Tom Lenberg hit a grand slam on Sunday, but he wasn’t playing for the Rockies or the Athletics in Las Vegas Ballpark, where the two teams slugged it out to a 23-9 final score in the heat and elevation of the Nevada desert. Rather, Lenberg’s Sunday grand slam came in a much more difficult environment to achieve such a feat—right here at HorseTourneys.

Eldon Stivers woke up on Saturday morning in a panic. 

After Friday’s Day 1 of the $319,113 New York New York Challenge, Stivers was in 13th place—$61.92 behind leader Tory Cameron. Stivers—a 62-year-old retired mechanic who resides in Nash, Tex., close to Texarkana—was excited. 

A fine first day followed up by a significantly better Day 2 proved the pathway to victory for Eldon Stivers in the second annual New York New York Challenge on June 5-6 at HorseTourneys. The Nash, Tex., resident earned $119,545 for the victory.

The second annual New York New York Challenge is now just four days away. On Sunday, Jayson “Radio City” Rockett ensured that he’ll be part of the $200,000 Guaranteed event that requires players to make full-card, Pick & Pray selections for the Friday and Saturday of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival (to be held one final time this year at Saratoga).
