Will there ever be a two-time NHC Champ? It hasn’t happened yet, but the chances of one became a little more likely after Saturday’s NHC Super Qualifier at HorsePlayers.
We can’t blame our many friends in the New England and greater Philadelphia areas if they are a bit distracted this weekend. All the more reason, however, to go over this weekend’s HorseTourneys highlights—including our very first feeders to two of the year’s most popular onsite tournaments.
The winner, Ed Olczyk, receives a prize pool bonus of $140,000 plus a seat to both the NHC (either in 2018 or 2019) and the 2018 Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge. Those who finished in second through fifth places receive NHC seats (either in 2018 or 2019 per the player’s choice).

Two winners out of 15 races isn’t what most would call a great day. Sure, we’ve all had days when we’ve cashed zero tickets playing well more than 15 races. But a 2-for-15 day isn’t typically one that leaves any lasting memories.
Unless you’re Mack McClyment.
When it’s a big weekend on the racing calendar, HorseTourneys comes prepared. With the Pegasus World Cup set for Saturday at Gulfstream, we are pleased to offer an up-to-$100,000 live tournament with $70,000 guaranteed.
I love betting sports as much as the next guy. It’s all great fun, and to have the outcome in suspense for three hours rather than 70 or 100 seconds can be a nice change of pace for us horseplayers.
The three days of featured tourney action last weekend took on distinctly different personalities. One day was dominated by a single player. Another was a low-scoring day that saw many contests come down to the last race. And on Friday, things were sort of all over the map.
Just 22 days remain until the NHC, and if that sounds close, it’s just eight days until the inaugural Pegasus World Cup Betting Championship. This weekend, HorseTourneys and HorsePlayers can help you get to both.
Entries are currently being accepted for this Sunday’s final direct qualifier to the inaugural Pegasus World Cup Betting Championship to be held on January 26-27.
It was a weekend of endings and beginnings. The 2017 NHC Tour season effectively ended with Saturday’s NHC Final Six tourney at HorsePlayers. The next day, qualifying for the 2018 The BIG One officially began. Throughout the weekend, there were many close finishes—and some that were not so close.
