Last week we commented how rare it seemed to have no cap horses come into play in any of the featured tourneys. We may have been incorrect in describing it as rare, though, because almost the same thing happened this past week.

If you already have an account at either HorseTourneys or HorsePlayers, that means that you already have an account for both sites.

HorsePlayers.com is a “white label” of HorseTourneys.com, which means that both websites share the same administrative backend. This means that your single account will work at both HorseTourneys.com and HorsePlayers.com. Furthermore, your account balance is shared among both sites. You can deposit into either site, and the funds can then be used on either one.

Please note that players are permitted only one account across both sites. If you think you signed up a new account in error, please reach out to us at support@horsetourneys.com and we’ll gladly take care of the situation for you.

So just remember, you use your same login email address and password at both HorseTourneys.com and HorsePlayers.com. Email us with any questions.

The Flo-Cal Faceoff broke through its $150,000 purse guarantee last weekend and now sits at $165,937. That means that the purse will continue to grow with each successive qualifier—and we have a total of nine of them scheduled on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

We offer featured tourneys 52 weeks a year. Last week alone, there were 29 of them. The sheer volume of action dictates that you seldom see anything you haven’t seen before, but there were two different occurrences this past week that were, if not unprecedented, at least highly unusual.

Think of them as unadvertised specials.

They’re not all up on the homepage just yet, but in addition to the multi-track qualifiers to the $150,000 Guaranteed Flo-Cal Faceoff this weekend, there will also be $118 Flo-Cal play-ins that focus purely on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday full cards from Aqueduct and Gulfstream. So there will be three ways to win Faceoff seats each weekend day.

Outside of Triple Crown winners, one of the most exclusive clubs in horse racing is that of the NHC Champions. Sadly, that club decreased by one not long ago when the unforgettable John Conte passed away.

This past week, there was much happier news on the NHC “Alumni” front, as two past champions rose to the top once again to post important victories here at HorseTourneys and HorsePlayers.

Gulfstream Park kicked off the most anticipated portion of its season on Wednesday, and to ratchet up the excitement of their opening weekend just a bit more, we’re unveiling a weekly Friday Big Bucks tourney this week—in addition to the ones that have already become staples of our Saturday and Sunday schedules.

They’ve always been “Big” and now they’re more frequent.

By popular demand, HorseTourneys has added a third Big Bucks event to the featured-tourney schedule each week. The new addition comes on Friday — an up-to-$20,000 Pick & Pray with $7,500 Guaranteed. As with the other Big Bucks games on Saturdays and Sundays, the entry fee is $1,150.

With fewer people traveling for Thanksgiving this year, perhaps it afforded people more quality time to spend with their computer or hand-held electronic device. Whatever the reason, things were busy around here with 26 featured tourneys during the holiday week. The first of those took place on Wednesday.

Thanksgiving weekend is understandably being celebrated on a smaller scale this year—but not at HorseTourneys! With so many staying home, we’re ramping up with 24 marquee competitions from Thursday to Sunday, including five features on Turkey Day itself.
