There are so many reasons to look forward to the upcoming weekend of racing—and HorseTourneys gives you one more: a 14-race, $75,000 Guaranteed live-format event on Belmont Stakes Day in which $75,000 represents the bare minimum of what the purse will be worth. If enough people enter, it could be worth $100,000, $125,000 or more. You will decide ultimately what the pot will be, but it will be worth $75,000 even if all our players decide to mow their lawns instead. But this big-money game is just one of 15 featured events with significant cash prizes or seats to some of the most anticipated onsite tournament events.

The crummy weather in Baltimore on Preakness Day seemed to do a couple of things. It created a surface at Pimlico that generated a lot of short-priced winners—and the uncertainty of slop and boggy turf contributed to a reduced field in our Preakness Day $100,000 Guaranteed tourney.
