In case you haven’t already come across this one this week, we thought we’d share with you a piece written by Alex Scordelis for RollingStone.com on last month’s National Handicapping Championship.
Sometimes you can be so “on” you don’t even need to make all your plays to win a big tourney.
Here’s a look at HorseTourneys qualifiers who finished in the top 66 at last weekend’s National Handicapping Championship.
It appears to be a down weekend coming up in the NFL with only one game scheduled. So we thought we’d try to fill the void with several exciting tournaments where you can win cash, a seat to the coveted The BIG One and more.
I can’t say enough about Ray Arsenault’s performance. (His $407.70 final total was an NHC record.) When the final table participants were determined, the standings were very tight, with one exception—Ray Arsenault had a nice $30 or so lead on his nearest pursuer.
We are pleased to report that, in its February 2017 issue, American Turf Monthly magazine named HorseTourneys the winner of its annual “Best Online Tournament Site” award — one of several honors bestowed in its latest Conny Awards, which are dedicated to “Recognizing the best in handicapping tournaments in 2016.”
It doesn’t always take great scores to put you at the top of the class.
Whenever you hear “Hail to the Chief” this weekend, just think “HorseTourneys”. Because when it comes to fun and big-money contests and qualifiers, we like to think we are the Chief Executive. It should come as no surprise that we’ll be in action all weekend long. Bigly. We are suspending our belief in separation of church and state this weekend, however. Most of our featured tournaments will be Pick & Prays.
Last week, in part I, I went over what constitutes an ideal NHC mandatory race, as well as some of the other factors we consider as part of the process. I’m surprised it until Part II to get to it…but one gigantic factor in our thinking is weather – both with respect to whether a race might come off the turf and whether a given track might cancel altogether due to a snowstorm.
Saturdays and Sundays are our biggest days in terms of prizes and number of tourneys. But sometimes the most notable occurrences take place during the week. Take Friday, January 13, for example.
