It’s barely half-over, but what a month of May it has already been for Steve Arrison.

The NHC qualifier offered each Wednesday at HorseTourneys will now also include cash payouts starting next week (May 20). It is the first time in the history of online, mythical-money tournaments that cash prizes will be available in an NHC qualifying event.

California, here we come…right back where we started from? Well…we hope that’s the case. Golden Gate seems poised and ready to resume on Friday. That could be the case for Santa Anita as well. If so, they will join our “old reliables”—Gulfstream and Tampa Bay Downs—in the HorseTourneys featured-tourney track lineup as we roll on with 18 featured events this weekend. The first four of those take place on Friday.

There were lots of Pick & Pray features last week, so it’s not too surprising that several players multi-tabled their way to more than one victory. However, a couple of those “two timers”got things started on Wednesday and didn’t conclude their winning ways until a couple of days later.

As a public service, we’ll remind you that Sunday is Mother’s Day. So don’t forget to at least call Mom on her big day. If you’re short on new topics to discuss with her (during this period of staying home most of the time), a possible conversation starter could well be your exploits in this weekend’s featured tourneys. Starting Friday, there are 19 such opportunities to make your mom proud.

I guess you could say that last week was Derby Week…even though we weren’t allowed to use the one Derby on the racing schedule. Then again, when you think about it, that’s always the case! So it was a somewhat typical Derby Week as far as HorseTourneys was concerned…which meant lots of winners and big prizes—just like always. The featured-tourney winning got under way on Wednesday.

Louisville is quieter than usual this weekend, but the sun can still shine bright over your home (regardless of which state it’s in) thanks to 19 featured weekend tourneys offering at least $58,500 in cash plus many seats to important contests (both onsite and online) taking place later in 2020. It all begins on Friday.
Last weekend’s action at HorseTourneys reminded me of a couple of old slogans — both of them gambling related.

With live, brick-and-mortar tournaments on “pause” for the time being, one can’t help but wonder if the field for the 2021 NHC might be a bit smaller than usual. Last week’s tourneys here, however, certainly gave next February’s event a major boost with 14 seats flying out the door.

The featured weekend action gets started with a bang on Friday with a free NHC qualifier at HorsePlayers. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with the parameters, though, because this is not your father’s free NHC qualifier.
