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.
It was a busy—and long—holiday weekend at HorseTourneys that saw 21 featured tourneys conducted, and saw several players either continue on their hot streaks or start new ones of their own. The action got started on Wednesday, Thanksgiving eve.
We hope you have some time off over Thanksgiving weekend, because our featured-tourney plate is filled with delectable helpings that may have you coming back for seconds, thirds, fourths or even fifths during the five-day holiday weekend.
For the third consecutive weekend, we had someone pick seven winners in a single tourney. (Evan Trommer did it each of the previous two weeks.) Actually, this past weekend we had two different players do it…including one who did so on Friday when we only offer 10 races.
The calendar is winding down to Thanksgiving (a holiday many consider the most fun of all). That means that the focus for qualifying tournaments is narrowing a bit—mainly centering around the Horse Player World Series and, to an even greater degree, the NHC.
