The past weekend had an extra urgent feel to it with Saturday marking the final day to earn 2018 NHC Tour points and with Sunday beginning the unofficial final push for 2019 NHC seats. It made for a frenzied three days of action that began on Friday.
This is as important a weekend as there is during the 2018 NHC Tour season—because it’s the last weekend of the season. Technically, it’s not even a full weekend because Saturday, January 12, is your very last day in which to earn NHC Tour points for the 2018 campaign. The final opportunity comes Saturday in a $100, five-seats-guaranteed qualifier at HorsePlayers. So many players will be coming out looking to improve their year-end totals for possible bonus money or to get onto the “Top 50 Not Qualified” Leaderboard, which guarantees those 50 an NHC seat.
HorseTourneys is delighted to announce the latest exclusive addition to its online tournament portfolio: The $100,000 guaranteed Spa & Surf Showdown on Saturday and Sunday, August 3rd and 4th, right here at HorseTourneys.
Anthony Trezza, an optometrist with a practice in Denville, N.J., had been on a self-imposed break from horse race handicapping of late. Given how much Trezza enjoys watching and wagering on NFL action, the first week of the playoffs did not seem the likeliest time for him to get off the horse racing “sidelines” but that’s what he did, and it proved to be a prescient move.
The new year has just begun, but the 2018 NHC Tour year still has a couple of weeks to go (until January 12 to be exact). You can still land a spot in the big dance on February 8-10 at Treasure Island…or win some big cash prizes and valuable seats to other prestigious tournaments all weekend long here at HorseTourneys and HorsePlayers. The featured action kicks off on Friday.
There were 21 featured tournaments over the extended New Year’s Eve/Day weekend—and the most interesting competition, as it turned out, may have been saved for last.
Starting today, HorseTourneys debuts a new tourney format whereby players can compete solely against opponents who have a similar level of experience as they do. Here’s how it works.
It if seems like there is a year-end push on NHC seats, you’re right. Seventeen more guaranteed seats are on the table during an extended weekend of featured-tourney action that continues through New Year’s Day on Tuesday. And 10 of those NHC berths will be awarded in one fell swoop on Saturday in the 15-race NHC Online Super Qualifier at HorsePlayers.
Raymond Riley’s motto on Friday was “Tis better to receive than to give.” That might not be much of a Christmas attitude, but it certainly was an effective one at HorseTourneys.
T’was the weekend before Christmas, and if you still have holiday shopping to do…you better get moving. Likewise with qualifying for the NHC. Unlike some stores at your local shopping mall, however, HorseTourneys still has plenty of great merchandise on its shelves—in fact, there’s more than ever. We have 21 featured tourneys this weekend, offering more than $40,000 in guaranteed cash and at least nine guaranteed NHC seats. And that’s just the tip of the North Pole iceberg.
