Raymond Riley’s motto on Friday was “Tis better to receive than to give.” That might not be much of a Christmas attitude, but it certainly was an effective one at HorseTourneys.

T’was the weekend before Christmas, and if you still have holiday shopping to do…you better get moving. Likewise with qualifying for the NHC. Unlike some stores at your local shopping mall, however, HorseTourneys still has plenty of great merchandise on its shelves—in fact, there’s more than ever. We have 21 featured tourneys this weekend, offering more than $40,000 in guaranteed cash and at least nine guaranteed NHC seats. And that’s just the tip of the North Pole iceberg.

We’ve had a recent run of players reeling off seven winners in a single tourney. On Saturday, Brian Graziano did them one better.

There are 12 more shopping days until Christmas—and 30 more qualifying days for the 2019 NHC. We can help you somewhat with the former—via our many cash tourneys—and we can definitely help you a lot with the latter thanks to five more NHC direct qualifiers this weekend that offer at least seven guaranteed seats to the big dance on February 8-10.

If you enjoy like the set-it-and-forget-it ease and fun of Pick & Pray tourneys, this weekend should be right up your alley. We have 18 featured tourneys on Friday, Saturday and Sunday—and all but five are Pick & Prays. The “church doors” swing open on Friday.

In case you don’t know, Jobby Blevins’s first name is pronounced JOE-bee…as in “Patience of Job.” Patience is a virtue, as we’ve all been told at some point, and so it was for Jobby in Saturday’s $35,000 Guaranteed tourney.

Saturday is a big day in more ways than one. It’s opening day of the Championship Meet at Gulfstream Park, which includes a slew of large-field Claiming Crown races…and it’s Cigar Mile Day at Aqueduct. To befit a day that, it seems safe to say, is the biggest of the rest of 2018, we are offering a Guaranteed $35,000, live-format cash game on Saturday.
